Here are some sales ideas that have proven to make an extra buck at this business.

A couple weeks before mothers day start stocking up on mothers day shells. I ordered shells that say Best Mom,  #1 Mom, Greatest Mom, Happy Mothers Day, etc.

I went to Home Depot and bought a block of thin magnets. If the customer wants their shell to be a magnet, I just charge a couple bucks for the magnet and I put a small amount of hot glue between the shell and the magnet so they can put the shell on their fridge at home. Many people love the idea.

I bought some small easter baskets and put a Mom, Dad, and a few names for children and the shells looked like beautiful eggs in the basket.
