Ask About Best Sellers Find out a brand’s newest and best-selling items to see what’s trending. Best sellers are a great way to test a new item or introduce a new category. Plan Ahead Use the ASD Market Week Show Planner to search and explore brands before the show. Save your favorites, preview products, find private label offerings, and view show specials to maximize your time in this neighborhood. Discover NEW Brands Each neighborhood features brands that are new to the show, offering new distribution and revenue potential. Look for “NEW” floor stickers in every neighborhood to easily spot these opportunities or search the Show Planner. Stock Key Items Keep your mind on the miles. You may be a one-stop-shop for travelers or a quick inand-out for customers to stock up on key items and essentials including lighters, snacks, toiletries, and phone chargers. Know Your Customer Don’t forget to take inventory of your customer base. Are they primarily local? Do they tend to work late nights or early mornings? Consider your everyday customer and their product needs while shopping for items. Refuel and Recharge Your customers are always on the go so offer them a few impulse items such as energy drinks, phone chargers, and other tech accessories to keep them on the move. These must-have items not only bring repeat customers but boost sales too.
