I have noticed a couple of newsagency suppliers have recently started offering selfie sticks – for use with your phone to take photos. Early-adopter newsagents started offering these more than two years ago. Getting into this space now is late in the day. Plus, there are challenges with more venues declaring their use unsafe.
If a supplier is pitching selfie sticks to you as the next big thing, be suspicious as they were big between a year and two years ago. Today, they are another readily available gadget.
We only just started stocking them and sold out twice in a month , waiting on more stock . we where a tad late on loom bands as well but they still worked well .
It can take a while to reach us in more remote areas. I have only just got stock in and will see how they go. Loom bands I almost got rid of the last of them. These thinks can be the fad in the deep south long before they reach us. its the same with fashion.
Who knows what works hey. I ordered world stress balls from IS and they sold out in a few days. the same with Shopkins, these are just taking off as trend in the 8-13 girl category. As soon as they arrive they are gone again. I love products that take less than a week to turn at a high profit.
yes, there is certainly a difference up and down and across the country on what sells and when. My post is more a warning – don’t be left with stock. the Reject Shop near us has a ton of stock.
