Ever had a vendor try to upsell you on a product that was clearly a flop? I had one suggest a gag gift for Halloween that didn’t even make it to the shelf last year. It’s a reminder to keep those relationships strong but always stay strategic — gotta balance humor with what customers want.
That Halloween gift sounds like a total miss! Maybe check reviews or trends before taking suggestions? You never know what might flop next.

Funny how some suggestions can seem like a bad punchline! It might help to set clearer expectations with vendors about what fits your brand. Have you tried gathering customer feedback before making any big moves?
Those upsells can be tricky! Maybe try offering vendors insight on trending products like seasonal favorites to keep things aligned. What kind of products do your customers really want this season?
