❣️It’s a date❣️ Join me on Valentine’s Day for my keynote on what I love most in Retail and Merchandise Planning - profit, sales and stock … or doubling down on the Valentine theme:
Profit that makes your pulse quicken
Sales that makes your heart sing
Stock health that soothes your soul
Supporting materials can be found in The Planning POD - our Merchandise Planning community hub and free resource centre.
Smart Merchandise Planning: Turning Data, Stock, and Strategy into Profit
Merchandise planning is crucial in connecting the dots between stock, demand, product performance, and profitability.
Retailers need to evaluate buying decisions, build stronger margins and have sharper cash flow controls to keep business thriving.
With extensive experience in helping retailers with buying, planning, and inventory management, I will unpack how to:
* Align merchandise planning with customer demand to maximise sales and minimise waste
* Use data-driven tools and metrics to understand and improve stock health and turnover
* Master the balance between sales, margin, and inventory to inform smarter buying decisions
Access support tools (markdown calculator, sell through matrix, trading calendar) in The Planning POD, and training solutions in our online courses at SMART SCHOOL
I’ll be keeping it simple and practical, so that you can take the learnings and apply them right away. Happy to answer questions after my talk, so please come and say hello.
Thank you to RX Global for inviting me to talk and share my insights with the Retail industry.
