This is how you make the end of the year awesome. 🤩 As a smart #productbased retailer you already figured out some kind of plan for Q4. (No shade if you haven’t really gotten around to it, but you need to act fast, friends 😅) Now is a strategic time to test your marketing strategy and potentially adjust your inventory plan accordingly. 1️⃣ A/B test special offers and learn what your customers like the most! You’re here to serve them after all. 2️⃣ Figure out where your customers are shopping right now, and meet them there Wherever it’s easiest for them to be will be a key place to show up and invest in during Q4. 3️⃣ Based on your testing, project your sales forecast and compare to the sales plan you already have created for Q4. Make adjustments to your inventory forecast and connect with your marketing team to ensure you’re on the same page📄. After all you can’t sell inventory you don’t have. Marketing and Planning teams need to work together to ensure you can delight your customers!

Hey Boon, how can we be more accurate on our inventory spend? True facts ➡️this is a question we get from most of our clients. Start-up retailers often have a team stretched too thin to focus on inventory planning and strategy. More established businesses have the basics down but frequently need to streamline processes and get more detailed in order to maximize their investment. So, this question 🎶 is music to our ears. More than just talking about it, our team of 15, incredibly experienced, retail planners will craft a beautiful strategy and week by week forecast for your business. When it comes to your biggest investment as a product based business, spend wisely. We’ll get you there! #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #strategy #inventory #productbased #retail #merchandising #liveforthis #experts #forecast

Prep for a 🔥successful 🔥 Q4 starts long before there’s that fall crisp in the air. Our top tips: 1️⃣ Review current sales trends and performance ➡️ What’s happening in your sales now can be an indication of what to expect later. Reevaluate your sales trend so your future inventory can be spot on. 2️⃣ TEST, TEST, TEST! Work with your supplier to get a small amount of your Q4 product now and check the sales velocity so you can validate your future demand. ➡️ Test your marketing strategies too! Your ideal customers might be most responsive to a certain % off, to a BOGO, or most present on a certain sales channel. Find this out now to maximize your results with your customers later. 3️⃣ Troubleshoot your excess inventory problems right now. Any early spring assortment items that are gathering dust are just limiting your cash flow.
