Consumer demand is changing with the economic climate. You have to
keep pace with these changes by evaluating and streamlining your
assortment, ensuring that you are carrying the items that will meet
today’s demand and improve your bottom line. But, how do you know
which are the right items to delist when adding a new product? How
do you know when too many is too much?
The slowest selling item in the assortment may not be the best
item to delist. Instead, retailers should look at incremental sales
of an item - those sales that would be lost to another retailer -
when an item is delisted. Should you delist a high volume item
instead? The answer may be yes, if that volume simply transfers to
another item in the assortment.
With a clear understanding of incrementality and transferable
demand, you can optimize your assortment and achieve competitive
differentiation, increase customer loyalty, and improve your bottom
line. Attend this webinar and learn:
• The factors driving the need to have the right assortment
• Key trends in assortment management and optimization
• The fundamental principles behind a science-based approach to
assortment optimization
• How to use these principles to localize your assortment by
individual stores or store cluster
• How effectively optimized assortments can help achieve sales,
profit, and space productivity goals
• What to look for in an assortment optimization solution
