Best Products For Cornershops, Convenience Stores, and Newsagents in the UK
We’ve compiled a list of products on our website that yield the most return for small stores, shops, and family-owned businesses in Britain. We won’t just list the best types of products, but also the brands that we’ve received most positive feedback from when selling wholesale to all sorts of retailers and distributors, including cornershops, post offices, news agents, repair shops, phone shops, convenience stores, and suppliers of the above.
Phone Chargers
Our analytics suggest that Advanced Accessories® is the favoured brand among mobile accessories, including charging cables, plugs, and adaptors (examples). They adopt a clean, professional, colour-coded packaging scheme made of 100% recyclable cardboard, perfect for any countertop or slatwall. It quickly becomes clear why phone chargers are one of the highest-margin products for small stores to sell, which is because while they are cheap to stock, customers are willing to pay a higher price when they’re having a low-battery emergency. Phone chargers take up minimal space on the shop floor, but regularly come up as one of the most highly-requested items from customers. For many, the urgent need for a phone charger is a reason for them to visit your store when they otherwise wouldn’t, and at that point, the rest of your products are only an arm’s reach away. Advanced Accessories’s CHARGE-iT range includes a large selection of power products, perfect for shops of any size. For a more premium range, it wouldn’t be a bad idea having a look at Tech Energi®, with a range of unique steel cables and luxury power banks and plugs.
Advanced Accessories® and Tech Energi® products can be ordered at wholesale price at mrmobileuk.com, including pre-stocked display stands in various sizes.
Cheap Earphones
Earphones, especially the cheap kind, have a reputation for needing to be replaced often. This doesn’t mean that you need to stock super expensive earphones, only that there are benefits to having a ready supply of replacements for your customers. Even just having a few pairs on hand is a good idea, some wireless (example) and some wired (example). As for preferred brands, Advanced Accessories® comes on top again with their FUSION range, with reviews praising both affordability and quality

SD Cards and Flash Drives
SD cards and flash drives have some of the best margin-by-shelf-space. Following customer response, we recommend GOODRAM as the go-to brand, with their range of storage sizes for both types of products (see examples). Their more recently developed eco-friendly compostable flash drives are an interesting option if you want to draw some extra attention to your range.

Screen Protection and Phone Cases
You may not have the space for a whole shop wall dedicated to phone cases and screen protectors (or maybe you do), but the key to increasing foot traffic to your business is variety. Just having a few of the more popular models on display is enough to get customers to reconsider the limits of your range. Next time they need anything tech-related, they might now try your store before going round the corner to the nearby phone shop. After all, if you sell phone cases, who knows what other handy bits you might have? Bonus points for having a box in the back with a couple of cases for each model, just for that personal hospitality that will keep customers coming back. While chargers should likely be prioritised before device protection, if you’re already considering Advanced Accessories as an option for chargers, their PROTECT-iT range fits nicely with the same packaging scheme and colour-coordination for cases and screen protectors.
PROTECT-iT stock can be ordered at wholesale price at mrmobileuk.com.
Cheap Phones
Gone are the days where even budget mobiles were a cost-investment. Wholesale prices for cheap mobiles can go under £15 or even £10 (see examples). If you don’t have them displayed, customers won’t know you stock them.
Car Device Mounts and Chargers
If you have considered all the above, one more thing to complete your shop’s range might be in-car device gadgets. A small range of in-car phone chargers (example) and magnetic or suction phone holders (example) provide a novelty that your customers won’t have known they wanted. Advanced Accessories is once again the go-to for a simple, refined brand of quality products, which are all listed on mrmobileuk.com.
Conclusion
Advanced Accessories® and Tech Energi® are the most popular brands for phone chargers and peripherals for price and quality respectively. GOODRAM is best for SD cards and flash drives. You can find all these products listed on this website.
