Should we leave the fall stuff out or what? What Not to Sell.
I told the wife that as soon as the show was over, I wanted to put the fall stuff away because I didn't want to start selling the premium Anna Scholz stuff we got before the season. I am actually going to bring the stuff to my house because I know my wife is going to start showing the stuff and selling it out in dribs and drabs. But all of our biggest customers are away for the summer and I want them to get this stuff fresh and not after it's been picked over for the rest of the summer. Plus it's July for crying out loud. I don't want to start selling the snake skin trench coat no matter how hot it is and how many people want it. Jeeeez.
Do people really buy this far in advance?
ReplyDeleteI mean, the whole concept, doesn't that come from a time when the Wells Fargo Wagon had to make a delivery from the harbor, because a steam ship had to bring what you wanted from Europe?
I mean, we're definitely spoiled here. It's never very cold, but if it gets cold, I can, you know, just go to a store and buy a coat.
Except that they have the summer swimsuits up in the winter.
