Selling novelty toilet paper

toilet.JPGWe have been trialling the sale of novelty toilet paper over the last week in one of my newsagencies with some tremendous success.  In fact, it’s been more successful than we expected.  Customers have a good laugh, even though who don’t purchase.

Each toilet role is a good margin dollars added to a sale. The GP is excellent.

Most customers buying rolls do so on impulse and having visited our newsagency for a magazine, newspaper or greeting card.  Some buy the rolls having been drown to the store from the mall facing display.

We decided to try the toilet rolls as part of a broader plan to get known for carrying quirky gifts … gifts now commonly available in our shopping centre.
