After Market
After attending market, you’re probably feeling inspired and excited to bring new products into your store. As the busy holiday season approaches, we want you to know that we are here to support you every step of the way – helping you turn those market finds into meaningful sales opportunities.
One proven strategy for increasing holiday profit is positioning your store as a true one-stop shop for gift giving.

Offer Complimentary Products & Services
Today’s customers value convenience and experience, and offering complementary products and services can set your store apart.
In addition to coordinating gift items, consider services that elevate the shopping experience. Gift wrapping is a simple yet impactful offering that customers truly appreciate. It removes one more task from their to-do list and encourages last-minute purchases.
For stores carrying gourmet food and specialty items like The Sweet Snob, Stonewall Kitchen, and Flathaus Fine Foods, in-store tasting events are another powerful way to engage customers. Sampling encourages discovery, builds confidence in the product, and often leads to higher sales and add-on purchases. Tasting events also create a reason for customers to linger, explore, and return.
By pairing thoughtfully curated products with value-added services, you reinforce your store’s role as a go-to destination, making shopping easier, more enjoyable, and more memorable for your customers.
Retailers may want to start offering complementary products and services to become a “one-stop shop” for their customers.
Merchandise with Purpose
Take your strategy a step further with thoughtful displays that showcase products for specific occasions, such as:
-
Back-to-school and teacher appreciation
-
Weddings and baby showers
-

Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas
With versatile lines like ellembee gift and Lang, you can easily merchandise for every season and celebration, helping customers quickly find what they need while encouraging add-on purchases.
