I began as a partner in a retail store. We were in the right place, at the right time, with the right concept but didn’t make a profit. We bought too much inventory and did not land merchandise in relation to our selling cycle. Sound familiar? So we established an open-to-buy system to analyze the business and quickly saw sales and profits soar! After a decade, I left to become a retail analyst to help other retailers grow a profitable business. At Blacks Retail, we customize planning to achieve growth, even in challenging times. Within the first year, our merchants see an average 10 to 1 return on investment on their engagement with Blacks. But it doesn’t stop there:▪️Maintain margins 3-5% above industry norms due to controlling excessive markdowns and lower cost of goods sold.▪️Balance inventories by classification, leading to increased sales opportunities and improved cash flow. ▪️Annualized inventory turnover nearly twice industry norms.Blacks Retail helps merchants grow their business with a time-tested merchandising planning process that keeps the focus on customer needs.
