Set a buying budget before going to the show. Allocate this roughly between each area of the shop, or the different categories of stock that you sell, depending on how you organise your business. List the types of stock you are in need of, such as:
◆ things to hang on the wall;
◆ items in the £2.99 or less selling bracket;
◆ a new cash and carry cosmetics supplier;
◆ ‘stage setting’ products which will give the shop that ‘Wow’ factor.
