Some stores have had a variety of popular items since they opened. Other store associates named specific items which had been around for a while that customers continue to buy, such as pewter license tags and little kids’ cheer leading outfits, according to Chuck Helpingstine, a sales associate at Johnny T-Shirt. Out k About During certain times of the year, the paraphernalia stores sell a lot of mer chandise. The times range from sporting events to Christmas, with specific items selling best at certain times. “The bestselling items before a* game are T-shirts and sweatshirts,” said Donald Hamm, the sales manager at Student Stores. The other stores sold many seat cush ions and pompoms before athletic events. Helpingstine said his store used the events to boost spirit of the fans and store sales. “We prepare for every football game as a major festivity - we put out tons of balloons,” Helpingstine said. The stores make various special preparations for the football games that fall on Homecoming and Carolina Family weekends, inviting customers to come inside and look around their store. “We stock up and put more mer chandise on the floor, and during home coming we put out more alumni shirts,” Hamm said. Henderson said the Shrunken Head Friday, October 29, 1999 also spent extra time preparing for spe cial weekends. “We make special signs that welcome parents and congratulate alumni,” he said. The managers agreed that although games brought out many customers, their busiest time of year was during the Christmas season, which did not neces sarily begin in December. “Christmas starts here in September,” Henderson said. “We have fans that come to every game and spend S2OO to S3OO each time.” 9
