Start thinking about Halloween and Bonfire night stock

Choosing the right stock
When it comes to picking what you want to be selling this year, you need to remember to cater for the whole family, as your customers will be wanting to kit out their whole family in one hit. Temperatures have already started to drop, so even those people who don’t celebrate Halloween and won’t be heading to a bonfire display, will still be looking for hats, gloves and socks to keep them warm. Not only should your products be low cost, they need to be good quality, to keep people coming back for more and increase the likelihood of them recommending your stall or shop to others.

Top picks for women – Women will buy numerous hats, gloves and scarves, as they will often want a different set for their different coats, and different occasions. For instance, a cosy pair for walking the dog, a colourful pair to wear with their waterproof coats at weekends and plain black gloves for work.

Warm hats will be must buys, for anyone who spends longer than a few minutes outside a day, so those that walk their kids to school, commute by public transport to work, or anyone who relies on their own two feet, more than a car to get around, will be visiting your stall or shop to see what you offer in the hat department.

Top picks for men – Men tend to be less interested in the look of a product, and more interested in whether it will perform. Thinsulate hats and gloves are breathable, moisture resistant and adjust to suit all weather conditions. They’re a brand people know and trust, so people will be willing to pay slightly more, because of this, boosting your profits.
