Not sure about accounts, minimum facings, etc. But, I'd imagine a couple more different Ashtons might do well. There's usually one in CA top-10's, so they have some name recognition. Brickhouse is one that many will now recognize and has an appealing price point. I suspect they bring repeat customers. Litto's stuff is good and has fans, but I suspect min orders are bad because so many shops I go to seem to devote entire wall or table to them for no other apparent reason. I'd set my sights on a couple smaller brands that have huge upside but aren't big enough to demand 20 feet of facings: 2 or 3 may be all you need to begin to establish your shop as a destination for more serious botl: maybe Romacraft, or La Palina, or Caldwell or Terazona....maybe Crowned Heads....You don't need to try to parse 50 high end boutiques, but just a couple/few to get it started
