The secret it to know what products to sell that will suit the needs and wants of your target shoppers. Though there are many different things people need and want, there are only a few that they will consider worthy to buy spontaneously.
First on the list is if the product is a necessity or a daily need. Obviously, it is something that people can’t live without. It can be either food, clothing, for sanitation, etc. But, the question now is what can set you apart from your competitors? The answer is easy. Give them deals and promos such as “buy one take one.” or something which can be considered as “limited time offer.” You can then expect people to fall on their feet hurrying and even panic buying especially when it’s about “SALE” and great deals are involved. All you have to think of is what offer you can give that the customer’s cannot refuse or reject.
