NATSO Best Practices in Truckstop Merchandising: Apparel

In today’s video, Schulte walks listeners through the best practices in apparel merchandising.

His best practice advice includes:

  • Choose apparel seizing based on your customers;
  • Make sure everything is labeled clearly with the price;
  • Use all the same hangers;
  • Focus on the basics, having a summer and winter offering;
  • Don't make the displays too full; and 
  • Time is important for truckstop customers. You want to make it so they can easier see what it is and how much it costs.
