4 Products You Might Not Have Considered Stocking

For a wide range of retailers, you’ll often need to switch up the way you think about what it is that you sell. In addition to your staple products, you can likely shift significant quantities of other products – especially if you’re more of a general store in the first place.

If this sounds like a familiar situation, you’re in luck. Whether you run a digital or physical store, below, we go through 4 examples of products that you might not have considered stocking.

Fancy hot sauces and condiments

While condiments such as spaces were, for hundreds of years, a luxury reserved for the rich, nowadays they’re one of the best ways of making an incredibly boring meal taste quite amazing.

There are a whole host of different companies making unique hot sauces and spice-infused salts, and they can be a great thing to stock for a wide range of shops. Unlike a lot of other foods, they don’t tend to go bad very quickly, and they’ll appeal to a wide audience.

Knitted hats and gloves

People love handmade stuff, but often just can’t be bothered to go and source it. A nice idea, especially if you run a small local shop, is to stock hats, gloves or scarves that are hand-knitted by someone in the local area. Not only can it be a nice product to sell, but you’ll also help to develop a bit more of a sense of local community.

Disposable vapes

You’ll likely have seen a lot of people using them, but you may not have thought about actually selling them. Disposable vapes are all the rage right now, and if you’re looking for a product that’s going to sell, it’s a good bet.

You don’t need to buy thousands to get them at trade price either. Suppliers such as Wholesale Disposable Vapes supply stock to even small and medium-sized businesses, with a wide variety of high-quality vaping products.

Compact portable chairs

Finally, high-quality ultralight folding chairs are all the rage at the moment. While a lot of people will be used to those rubbish camping chairs that break the moment you sit down too quickly, nowadays there are super strong folding chairs that can fit into a small backpack.

For people who are looking forward to spring picnics and summer evening drinks in the local park, but don’t quite fancy sitting on the floor cross-legged (even on top of a blanket) these kinds of chairs can present a highly attractive solution.

If these products all seem quite random, that’s kind of the point. These are the types of generic but also genuinely useful and popular items that a wide range of businesses will find that they’re able to sell.

Even if you don’t think that any of these are suitable for your particular retail business, hopefully they’ll have allowed you to think a little more openly about the kinds of things that people are looking for. With a little more localised market research, you should be able to come up with some great options.
