• Double up on Doll quantity–Dolls sold faster then apparel, leaving no dolls for a “Dress like your Barbie doll” program

• Price Value–Jumper/leggings sold best as customer only needed to buy 1-2 pieces to dress like their doll

• Consider Jumpers, Dresses and Skirts–Noted from the doll team that the Dolls with Dresses vs. Pants tend to be better sellers
