> On the other hand, if staff is passionate about riding a product and going to be chatting to customers about it anyways (especially this time of year when it’s all about chatting) then why not commit a few dollars to stocking products that are different from what everyone else in town carries?!
I can echo this sentiment as well from a shop perspective. In my shoprat years, I made an effort to try new and/or unusual products so that I could make good recommendations - both to the shop owner on what worked well and was worth stocking and to the customer on what he (or she) should consider buying.
It's something that a lot of shops are missing these days, in my opinion.
