Consumers have new purchasing patterns - and your buyers are reacting by becoming more cautious. How are your competitors coping with this "new" retail situation? Many are coming up with new strategies to gain ground in these circumstances: Monitoring auto-replenishment systems, keeping a more careful eye on wholesale inventory, using demographics to maximize the opportunity of each product and helping their buyers better allocate their products to each retail door. We have had the good fortune to witness these changes across many verticals and help develop strategies to win business, reduce assortment, allocation and execution errors and gain margin. We remain committed to using this knowledge to help suppliers become more efficient and rebuild growth. But the real question is: what are you doing about it?
Regarding IHH:
We will be attending the International Home + Housewares Show on March 14th - 16th (as well as the National Hardware Show in May) and welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any questions or topics you might have about our Retail Analytic Solutions as well as to brainstorm ways to meet your particular set of challenges and opportunities.
We would also welcome the opportunity to meet with any associate you know (in or outside your company) who might benefit from our services.
Please call me at 212.938.1991 x101 or reply to this e-mail if you would like to meet with us or know of any one else we should reach out to. Thank you and have a great show - and a successful year ahead.
