Have you ever invested in a product you were sure would fly off the shelves… only to be stuck with boxes of it gathering dust?

This happens to even the most seasoned brands - and yes, even in big box retail.

But the good news?

There’s a smarter way to spot your next best-seller without blowing your budget or taking on risky inventory bets.

This episode is a listener favorite from 2024, and I'm bringing it back right now because it’s more relevant than ever as you plan for your upcoming collections during an unpredictable retail landscape.

Let’s talk about how to test new product ideas in a low-risk, high-reward way.

Inside this episode of The Buyerside Chat, you’ll learn:

• How to identify “white space” opportunities in your current product assortment
• What your sales data is really telling you, and how to pair it with trend insights,
• A proven framework to test and validate new product ideas without overbuying
• What to do next when you spot a potential best-seller (hint: don’t wait a year to act)

Whether you’re designing your next collection, revamping your wholesale line, or simply trying to drive more revenue without burnout - this strategy will help you take action without adding risk.
