On a hunch we sourced an extensive range of doorstops, more than twenty styles / designs, for Mother’s Day and for our gift department through winter. On the shop floor for less that a week, the doorstops are selling a treat. We have traditional styles like the two in the photo as well as owls and other animals.
We’ve had success with doorstops before and, curiously, that was during the colder months too.
What I’ve found is having a broad range is key. The choice is appreciated. It can also lead to a second purchase or a word of mouth recommendation to a friend. We have also found that offering doorstops themed in other interests – cats, dogs, retro – also works.
