New small business. product ideas needed. Targeting the older generation (PAO's). Small shop, a small town.? I am eager to start my own business in a very small shop in a small county near me. When all the small local shops, walking along the main road, is invaded by the FAO, mostly women.
I am after ideas for products to sell, it would be the focal point for older retirees.
From the top of my head I think of items such as canes, wheeled carts, umbrellas, etc. Then all the small things like can openers, dressing / grooming AIDS, shoe horns, etc. Then the body supports a few articles of clothing base, shoes, socks, coats, hats. etc.
There are so many different types of products that appeal to seniors, but I do not know what are the best to put in a small shop. OPS is my target because they are the majority of people who walk high in the streets, with women and their babies.
So I really need to find a good wholesaler for the type of products for senior citizens, and to determine which products are best to put in the shop, and sell more, etc. But I really need help with ideas please.
I like your idea, you want to have products that allow your customers to return to your shop to let them see what you have, this could be a birthday card and condolance, so they come back a few times a year and see, they need a new walking stick etc. etc. if you are also in a small shop I remember how much space you have for each element, a truck is big and take lots of space ,
Good luck in your store
