Open-to-buy is a tool that in the hands of a fully committed retailer can profoundly improve financial improvements. Topics covered will include answering the question “what is open-to-buy and do all retailers need it” as well as identifying the role of consistent and predictable patterns in predicting consumer demand and accurate open-to-buy. Plus, gain insight on setting up a proper merchandise hierarchy and its function in data analysis, defining correct classification structures and constructing a seasonal classification open-to-buy plan.
