Always be prepared is not just a motto for boy scouts anymore. With a single retail organization often consisting of a combination of corporate, franchise, e-commerce, shop-in-shop, international, and wholesale operations, today’s retail environment is more diverse than ever.  Getting the right product to the right place at the right time is becoming increasingly complicated, and retailers cannot afford to lose sales due to an incorrect product mix. They need a plan.

On January 26th, 2011 at 1.00 p.m. – 2.00 p.m. EST, please join inventory management expert Theo Rose, Principal at Applied Retail Technologies, and moderator Steven Quon, Vice-President at Raymark, for an informative, in-depth look at:

• Why traditional assortment planning methods are no longer sufficient in today’s business environment
• The importance of an enterprise-wide assortment plan and where it fits into the overall planning and merchandising structure
• Strategies for managing products throughout their lifecycle, transforming customer demand into localized assortments down to the store, color and size level

Register now to learn more about how the retail industry is changing its outlook on planning.  The session will include guidance on how to ensure you always have enough selection without overstocking and provide proven methods for striking the right balance between breadth (number of styles) and depth (quantity of each style), resulting in higher margins and improved customer loyalty.
