How do you choose your range of products, according to
what criteria?
M.H. Procurement and the decisions that go along with it
really is the biggest challenge, one always wants to follow
the latest trends. I go to fairs twice a year where I order
the products for the following year. I buy what I like –
otherwise I’ll find it difficult to sell afterwards. I really need
to be convinced of every single piece and I really am proud
to say that I like every single item in the shop. Because I
mostly sell unknown brands from Scandinavian countries
I am not forced to sell my goods under value just because
I’m afraid I won’t be able to sell all the items. At Bimo’s
I simply stick to my own casual style.
L.L. Bimo’s Kinderladen follows a unique concept. While
the parents take their time and look for the new favourite
item, the kids can play and discover as much as they like.
In today’s retail business, how important is it to not focus
just on the sale?
M.H. Personal advice is essential here. We take our time with
the customer and that leads to a familiar atmosphere – and
that makes us different from big chains. Here you can simply
chat for another half hour after the purchase because there
is time. And the customers love when I recognise them and
know their name. I think
that for us in the retail
MARION HIBLER'S WORDRAP
The best present after a birth: A healthy baby,
no matter if it’s a girl or a boy.
Doing laundry and letting it dry in the sun
… helps with stains on whites.
A tip I got from my mother.
The favourite item everyone needs:
A woolen sweater with cashmere.
Children in traditional costume …
simply look adorable, particularly in our region.
It really does fit every child.
business a strong personality
and a familiar
contact person are very
important. In my shop
kids can do what they
want and mothers have
the possibility to breastfeed
and change diapers.
And, of course, I’m happy
to hold the babies so
that their mothers can
browse with both their
hands free.
