It’s not about “How Much Inventory” you need. It’s about “Which Merchandise” you need

Date Held:  February 24 from 2 – 3 pm EST.

Many jewelers focus on an overall level of inventory and performance parameters like Stock Turn, Margin, and GMROI. And while there is nothing wrong with using and understanding these measures, none of them help you answer the specific question – “Which merchandise should I have in my cases?”

This Webinar will cover the relative importance of Key Performance Indicators. But we will dive much deeper into the larger question of what you actually need in your cases. Many times we find that while a jewelers overall level of inventory is “too high,” they have critical holes in their selection, which are costing them sales. Learn how to identify and address these holes and how to benchmark yourself against other jewelers to see where significant opportunities exist for sales growth. We will share the combined results of over Half a billion dollars in retail sales results from independent single and multi-store operations just like yours. These results will allow you to benchmark your own percentage of business and the performance of some of your key suppliers in your store.
