What's Returns Have To Do With It?
On a subject I don't talk much about, I wanted to address a subject that does affect retailers, even with a good POS system. And that's about returns. We can't ignore statistics, and these are showing us some important trends in retail fraud. We're finding that fraudulent returns total $9.6 billion a year, according to figures from the National Retail Federation, and a Return Exchange's Retail Returns Study puts the figure at more than $17 billion annually. Returns that come through an automated system like your POS can take the burden of granting returns out of the store's hands. The merchandise tag can be scanned at point of sale and, when a customer c

Does your system tells how much you should buy?
Retailing is a delicate balance between merchandise and cash. It’s a high stakes balancing act: commit money early to large quantities of merchandise, and possibly end up with too much; or, commit less up front, saving cash for later, and take the risk of not being able to get the goods when you need them.

Running Franchise Merchandise Programs through Online Stores
Franchises are in a unique situation when it comes to creating a merchandise program; most individual stores have a different owner each with their own opinion on how the business should be run. An online store can ensure consistency across all your promotional products and merchandise.
Is your Inventory Planned ?
While planning the merchandise mix, a retail organization has to start with a clear definition of its merchandise hierarchy. The merchandise hierarchy is a disciplined way of grouping the merchandise mix at different levels, starting from a high-level grouping to the lowest level of the stock-keeping unit (SKU). The grouping may at times have even more than four-five levels such as Color, Size and Design.
Job Exchange Programs- A Different Spin On Employee Development
A job exchange program works much like a foreign student exchange program. An employee basically switches to another group, department, city, or any other division in the company. There, the employee is "hosted" by the receiving office and gains exposure to the culture, employees, and clients of that office. It can be a situation where two employees truly "exchange" positions for a set period of time.
Why ‘everybody lives by selling something’ is key to your success
‘Everybody lives by selling something’ seems to have allowed people to discuss an area that is fundamental to human relationships and communication, the principle of exchange. In our lives we are all exchanging things of value. Whether what we exchange is of value to others should be determined through effective communication, open dialogue, and trust. Taken to an organisation wide level, everybody in a company has an impact on how the business communicates with and engages in the principle of exchange with its customers, suppliers, the broader community, and each other. The legacy of silos in organisations, where departments distance themselves from each other, pitting their agenda against others to gain an upper hand, is the opposite of the principle ‘everybody lives by selling something’.

Customers And Loyalty Come With Devoted and Enthusiastic Retailing--Part I
Traditionally as specialty retailers, we have gone out and bought the merchandise we liked and felt was appropriate for our business. Those of us who had a good eye or had some ability at marketing were able to move our store’s product assortments reasonably well. But things are changing. Increased competition and technology are forcing change. Retailing from here on out is going to require turning a good part of this strategy upside down. Again, in the past we all started with products and categories we wanted to carry, and then worked to build a customer base for that merchandise. But today those retailers who are doing the best jobs of sales and profit margins are learning to adjust to the rapidly changing retail world by taking advantage of more technology and information.

Brokers work for brokerage houses and have the ability to buy and sell stock on the stock exchange. You may wonder if you really need a broker. The answer is yes.
