Merchandising Tips

While most of the tips in this section are intuitively obvious, we see the rules being broken all of the time. We hope you use these tips to your advantage because, ultimately, all that matters is that your customer is served better. By helping them find what they need, what they want and what they didn’t know they wanted easier and faster, we all win.

	We want to make sure you get what your ordered. We carry well over 4500 titles, so when you re-order those fast selling magazines, ensure you have the bi-pad and issue available for our customer service department. As an added note, certain titles run a very high sell-through and if it's selling out in your store, it's selling out everywhere and it is likely we can't get any more.

Ensure the books that appeal to those older loyal clientele are merchandised so that they find what they are looking for and can avoid bending.

Your older customers frequent your store and are likely heavy repeat shoppers, however they may have physical challenges, as their bodies just don't work like they used to.Bending down may be a problem for them, and yet we always see titles that appeal to this group at the bottom of the racks.
