The company will assemble collections of best sellers to fit within a retailer's budget that are tailored to a particular market. Such customized assemblages go beyond items targeted to different demographics and geographies to also include nautical themed pieces for shore destinations, for example, and even to biker themed pieces for stores in Daytona or other places that attract bikers.

Seasonal items are also available. NEDAG regularly shops shows and reads journals to stay ahead of trends. It also routinely consults with its customers to make sure products meet current demand.

The least expensive piece wholesales for less than $10 a unit, and the top wholesale price goes up to $800 a unit. Retail prices are a variable left to individual retailers, based on the recognition that some retailers prefer quick turnover at lower margins, while others often sell at triple the wholesale cost.
