Uncovering Hidden Opportunities In Your Retail Data
In today's competitive retail market, it's essential to stay ahead of the game and seize every opportunity for growth.
In this week’s Indie Insights, I had the privilege of hosting Ritchie Sayner, a seasoned retail expert with a remarkable 44-year career and a knack for helping retailers succeed through deep data analysis. Ritchie has authored a stellar book on retail and regularly contributes educational material to our partners at the National Shoe Retailers Association. During our conversation, he reveals a fascinating strategy to help unlock hidden potential in your business using the Plan on Demand within Retail ORBIT®. He demonstrates how carefully analyzing inventory deviations and utilizing stock-to-sales ratios by classification can lead to remarkable results.
By starting the month with fresh, balanced inventory that aligns with your M1 plan, you can maximize sales at full price. Ritchie's examples of women's denim and sweaters showcased how this methodology can significantly boost revenue, often surpassing your initial sales plan.
What makes this interview even more compelling is that Ritchie's strategy works across various retail verticals, from outdoor to home decor, making it a versatile tool for retailers looking to optimize their inventory.
