Fly Shops or Fly Departments

March 25, 2007

I always wonder why some shops will order equal amounts of 'everything' I mean there are 3 colours of most items that are used way more than others. It stuns me when they stock 3 purple, green, red yellow as well as black, brown and olive. I mean we use 5 times as much of the latter 3 than any other colour. It doesn't matter what the item is buck tail, deer body, marabou, chennille ,thread etc there are certain colours that get used way more than others.

 

I totally understand why they are not quick to re-order when they are only out of 3 colours of a handful of products (you have to have a decent order to get a proper discount) but one could head that dilema off at the pass easily enough...order more of the stuff we actually use and less of the stuff we don't.
