Finding a sweet spot for snakes in our newsagency

These plush snakes did not work for us. We tried them in several locations and we could not sell one. The moment we cit the price they started moving. In fact we sold half our stock in a little over a week. We’d not sold one for ,ore than two months.

The lessons for us snakes are probably not right for our customers and a slimmer margin should be tried sooner on slow moving stock. Yes we’re disappointed but we are grateful for the experience. Oh, and NO, I di not wish they were sale or return. Sale or return is a blight on our businesses.

    Just received a big plush order today nothing better than when it sells before you get a chance to put it out on the shelves . I had one in particular that i thought we would end up having to discount it because it seemed to expensive and it sold straight out of the box ./ gotta love it
