TIP OF THE MONTH
“Keeping It Simple, Stupid” is a very old rule of...everything. Because it works. Look around your store and identify your three newest items. Are they easy to notice, or mixed in with older offerings? Provide clear views of new product that are not distracted by other product or displays.
