Sparse, picked over displays guarantee your items will be ignored and discourage repeat visits. This is a culture of full grocery shelves, bulk buying, and abundance. Keep your store looking abundant, or you will limit your potential multi item sales.
When trying out a new item, buy three, not one. With one, you’ll have an empty space after just one sale. Customers can’t buy what isn’t there! Keep in mind you can also save when buying in bulk. Often, wholesalers only offer promotions on larger orders, so why not take advantage of it? When you aren’t sure, ask yourself, are you in business to just make it or are you in business to make it big? Full shelves make it big.
