I don’t know about you but personally, I always struggle when it comes to shipping big items. I know so many of my clients have issues with things just as simple as decent sized light fixtures because the general points system or general queries can’t actually guarantee that they’re going to get there in one piece or even take them in the first place. I know here in Australia, Australia Post won’t do anything more than a meter. So that’s your three feet. So if you’ve got a really tall lampshade that doesn’t come down into pieces you’re kind of screwed when it comes to getting it to your customer. So I brought along Mike Williams from you ship to talk about how we can get those big pieces of inventory to our customers in a really quick way and in a way that they’re going to arrive safely.

Today I have a co-host, something very different. This episode with Michael Fox from Shoes of Prey was actually co-hosted with the amazing Pavan Bahl from Fashion is your business.

If you don’t know about Shoes of Prey then I am going to tell you a couple of sentences about them. They are an amazing company and they do customized shoes. Visit their website and you have a million possibilities to design your shoes online and they will turn it into a great product.

So let’s talk about how you can choose the right products, in order to maximise those sales. When it comes to choosing a product to promote, my top 4 go-to categories are: A High volume/high turnover product If a product already turns over quickly and it can be expected that this has the capacity increase then this is where I love to start Why? The product has already been tested by your market, and they clearly love it. Creating a promotion around a high volume product should focus on adding benefit, through bundling and complimentary product upsells. You shouldn’t need to discount a product that already sells well. A High margin product The holy grail of retail is a product with a high margin.
