Your men’s range
You’ll want to make sure you cater for men in every kind of role, from office workers to manual labourers. If you don’t, you’ll find that potential customers will visit your rivals instead. Suit socks in plain black and grey are a must, but socks with splashes of colour on their heels and toes tend to be popular too. Patterned socks and striped socks are suitable for men of all ages, and make ideal gifts so expect sales to increase in the run up to Christmas.
Warm and hard - wearing socks for workmen will keep their feet toasty as temperatures drop, and will also be bought by any man who is having to walk or cycle to work, in bad weather conditions. (Or men who like to go fishing, hiking, or watching live sports matches at weekends). They have wide appeal.
Your women’s range
You need to choose tights in a range of colours and deniers, but buy more flesh coloured tights and black as these will be your bestsellers. Thicker fleece tights and leggings will grow in popularity as we get closer to winter, but make sure you don’t run out of sizes. If you do, place your new order pronto, so your customers aren’t left disappointed.
As for socks, women tend to be more adventurous so your range needs to include brightly coloured socks, thermal socks and ski socks, as well as plain black, white and grey.
