Purchasing for Craft Stores
Craft storage merchandise should be compared by the tools or materials it is intended to organize. A high compartment count is not helpful if the compartments are too small for the customer's task.
Preparing the Range
Group adult hobby organizers by usable pocket or compartment dimensions. Keep empty cases distinguishable from kits that contain tools or materials.
Display Considerations
Display an open example or a simple layout diagram. Retain supplier product information, particularly where a kit contains tools or small parts.
Order Information
Request complete contents lists and consistent layouts. Identify removable dividers, trays and inserts in the order.
Reviewing the Range
Record the dimensions customers ask for and which compartments they find difficult to identify from the package.
