The same goes for Dent Removal.
Look for companies to send you display materials if you sell their stuff  . Try to coax as much FREE samples if your just trying to fill in empty space. Don't forget that your paying rent for floor space and every unused foot is costing you money that could have something to sell in its place. Even having air fresheners or key fobs next to the register is a way of picking up extra $$$. |
Ed, you bring up excellent points.
Actually I do have a local guy that tints windows and will do work for us as needed. Same for clear bras. Haven't found anyone for dent removal, but need to look into it.
I can get some good display/marketing materials, but my location right now doesn't require it - although I do have 6 or 8 wall banners hanging up in the garage right now.
The product mix would be 60% detailing supplies - chemical guys, griot's garage... 40% performance parts such as Magnaflow, K&N, and other brands. Probably some LED lighting kits, the wheels I make/carry, and some other accessories that you won't see in too many stores.
