Swimsuits

[CHUNN]

We will be carrying a large line of swimsuits this year thanks to encouragement from Island Tan & Swimwear in Jackson, Tn. Just curious who else is carrying a large line and how well they are doing.Michael

We have been selling 5-10 suits per day. Not too bad so far. We are only selling high price top quality suits. $78 - $120 suits. Still a lot of pieces to sell for this season.Michael

I WOULD SUGGEST MIXING SOME PREPACKS AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES,$10-15-20 COST SUITS FROM VENUS,RITCHIE,PAN DULCE,TWINS ETC. RETAIL AT $60-70-80, YEAR OLD MERCHANDISE YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL NOT KNOW AND YOU WILL MAKE 400% MARGINS!! I USED TO BUY ALL CURRENT MODELS ROUGHLY 600 PER STORE,HUGE INVENTORY DOLLARS AND BETWEEN THEFT,MAKEUP FROM CUSTOMER TRY ONS AND LOTS OF INVENTORY LEFT OVER I WONDERED COULD THERE BE A BETTER WAY.ALL YOUR LARGE RETAIL STORES SLIP-IN CLOSEOUTS FOR BETTER OVERALL MARGIN!!!!WE HAVE A WALL DESIGNATED FOR CLEARANCE SWIMWEAR THAT WE BLOW OUT OLD OR UNSOLD SUITSFOR $29.95.I USED TO THINK I ONLY WANT TOSELL HIGH END SUITS,PROBLEM IS NOT ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE HIGH END BUYERS,IF AND WHEN YOU START TO MIX YOUR INVENTORY YOU WILLNOTICE MUCH BETTER END OF SEASON PROFITAND HOPEFULLY A LOT LESS UNSOLD HIGH END SUITS WHICH HAVE NOW BECOME A YEAR OLD THEMSELVES.
