Wholesale Hair Clips: Which Styles Sell Fastest at the Counter

Claw clips have become one of the most dependable small items a boutique can carry. They are inexpensive, they come in endless shapes and colors, and shoppers often buy more than one. If you are choosing wholesale hair clips for your counter, here is how to think about which styles tend to sell fastest and why.

Wholesale Hair Clips That Catch the Eye

At the register, shoppers make decisions in seconds. The clips that sell fastest are usually the ones that make someone smile or say "oh, that's cute" out loud. Shaped clips do this better than plain ones.

• Kitty clips. A fun shape that appeals to teens and adults alike, and they photograph well for social posts.
• Teddy bear clips. Soft, sweet, and easy to gift. Great for shops with a younger or gift-buying crowd.
• Butterfly clips. A classic that works across ages and pairs well with other spring and summer items.
• Mouse clips. Playful and a little unexpected, which is exactly what makes impulse buys happen.
• Strawberry clips. Bright color and a fruit shape make these stand out in a tray of neutrals.

Plain claw clips in neutral colors still have a place. They sell steadily to customers who want something for every day. But the fun shapes are usually what pull people over to the display in the first place.

Display Clips So They Sell Themselves

Placement matters as much as style. Keep clips at eye level or right by the register, where people are waiting and looking around.

Group them by color or theme rather than mixing everything together. A tray of pink and red strawberry and heart styles, or a row of pastel butterflies, reads as a collection and makes it easier to pick one.

Clip a few onto a mannequin head, a jar, or even your own hair while you work. Seeing a clip in use helps shoppers picture how it looks.

Pricing and Reordering

Most of our clips are $9 per dozen, which works out to 75 cents each. That leaves plenty of room to price for profit, whether you choose a simple keystone markup or go higher for novelty shapes.

A clear price sign helps. Round numbers or bundle deals like "2 for $8" give shoppers an easy yes.

Track which styles sell out first. Because our styles are one-time drops, you may not be able to reorder the exact same clip, but you will know which shapes and colors your customers like so you can grab something similar next time.
