Skate Shop Questions

[Outer Loop Skater]

Okay, recently I was put in charge of running this mini skateshop that we have in our store at the mall in my area. We are going to be ordering some boards here in a few days but my boss wants to know what type would sell the best.

I've noticed that most the customers that come in there now are between 13-18 once in awhile a bit older so normally they do not have a large amount of money to spend.

We are mainly looking for completes cause putting together custom boards takes time from our busy store which I also have to help take care of. What brands would you suggest for me to sale ???

Thanks !!!

dont forget blank decks. my shop had 12 mini logos and a day later their were 5 left.

yeah just go into zumiez and look at the garbage they have. bam everything and alot of HIM logos. but if you do prebuilt completes real skaters will be pissed because the customization factor is unavailable. love or hate ccs, they have alot of cool stuff, but not as cool as some of socalskateshop.com. ccs should carry randoms hardware and rockin rons bearings, then i would never go anyplace else.

Well if we sell enough we will be able to take the skate shop out of the back of our piercing & Misc. store and open up another store just for the skateboards within the mall. Right now we are sorta competing with the skate shop down the road which really they are in debt but most the skateboards go there to hang out cause you can skateboard around it and in the store. We will end up beating them out though. Right now just doing our best to get stuff together. Soon we will be needing to have team setups and what not.

So so far you all have said that Zero's sell good and the poser kids can be recognized by what they ask for. If they ask for Bam or Element type stuff they are most likely a poser.

Still needing more ideas...
