I will not only be make a base salary but also commission on most items in the store. From a marketing point of view what are some ideas that I can use to get more people in the the store so I can sell them product. I know when I am at tournaments I will give out buisness cards, But I am looking for any suggestions. Thanks in advace Matt.G If you have any imput as to what is stocked in this store, push for the things that are hot items/lures in your area. A good example would be the Reef Runners (in all colors) they sell in Vermillion Ohio for 2 for $10.00. A store I went 10 miles (one way) out of my way to find, and bought $40.00 worth of these items. Stock and/or order enough of these popular items to get a wholesale discount if possible, and then promote and sell these items at a reduced price if possible. I'll go out of my way for an item when I know the store stocks all the colors, sizes and styles of this item. And while I'm there I usually look around for other items I might need. Make people think of your store first for these items, because they know you stock them all. Take notice of trends and/or hot baits, lures or rigs during certain times of the year, for certain fish species people prefer during these times, and jump on that band wagon prior to this hot time. Savvy fishermen know what works during certian seasons and stock up in preperation for these seasons. And it don't take long for the beginners to hear about these items as well. Be ready with (yes we have them) when they ask for these specific items. The "We never heard of them" or "Don't have them in stock right now" answer, guarantees I'll be driving by without stopping on my way to the lake this time and probably every time after that.

That's a great price do you have his number. Jimmy Den's Sportsman's Outpost in Vermilion, Oh sells factory 2nds for that price when available. Dens was indeed the place. The time we were there he had virtually any and all the colors RR made (which is many) and everybody 50 miles each way knew it. And if you could pick out why these things were seconds, your a better man than me. Some say that the color variations are off slightly. That Particular time I'm talking about I bought 2 Fried Chicken colored Reefs with some others (along with some a friend barrowed us for our trip) and they kicked some major walleye AZZ.
