Where to Find Dollarstore Christmas Merchandise
By: Bob Hamilton
Most everyone who opens a dollarstore realizes there is a need to carry large quantities of high-quality seasonal merchandise in order to maximize sales and profits. While most set pretty high sales goals for their store, they are still surprised by the huge amount of dollar store merchandise that goes out the door on a daily basis. Then they start thinking about the holidays. They anticipate great sales and profits if only they can locate the right holiday merchandise. Yet the bigger question is when to order and where to locate the very best deals.
The answer to their question falls into two distinct areas. First there is the critical core holiday merchandise that must be present before the season even arrives. Shoppers look for many of these items long before most general suppliers make them available. Second is the need for ongoing replenishment and filler stock to cover for items that have sold out more quickly than had been planned.
The answer to the second question is fairly easy. Most general dollar store merchandise suppliers carry a good selection of the basic holiday items. While the selection will be limited and they generally dont make the items available until very close to the holiday, they can usually provide the replenishment and filler dollarstore holiday merchandise you need.
Often the first thought for new store owners will be to wait until the holiday season is getting closer before they buy. They think they can just order their dollar store merchandise for the season from their general suppliers and anyone else who might have something left. While delaying sounds like a good idea, the bottom line is that you lose many great products using this strategy. Obtaining the exact items you know your customers will eagerly scoop up requires pre-ordering. Most specialty companies that provide only holiday merchandise require pre-orders to guarantee delivery of the items your shoppers seek. They also provide early delivery of those items which is extremely important.
It is important that the items arrive long before the holiday so shoppers can make their purchases as soon as the thought strikes.
Shoppers will be seeking holiday dollar store merchandise to help with their own holiday displays and handycrafts very early. They need time to collect all the piece parts and then to actually make their hand made holiday creations. As a result you will see your dollarstore sales and profits begin to grow long before the holiday season even arrives.
