Four important ways to use best seller information:
1: Make sure you always have plenty
Replenishing stock of these items is a priority
2: Give them a prominent location, they need to be easy to see and buy
They have proved popular, make sure they are noticeable and they will continue to attract more customers and more sales
3: Tell customers about them (verbally and through signage)
It is a proven review of your product – it must be good, ‘I’ll try it too’!
4: Find, source, buy, make, offer – more of the same
These products have proved popular, what new products can you offer along the same lines to build on this success?
