For a store to become more popular among customers, it is not enough to simply present a variety of high-quality goods on the shelves. Be sure to study the assortment that is not available in neighboring retail outlets, but which is in demand. By purchasing it, you will increase the flow of customers and increase your profits.
Instructions
Step 1
Before writing a procurement plan for the next period, it is necessary to prepare a table of the assortment of goods. To do this, find out which products are most popular with the store's customers. Distribute questionnaires to sellers and cashiers in which you ask them to indicate the names of the goods that are sold out the fastest. And also those that are out of stock, but consumers are wondering if they will be on sale. Plan to bring in more essential items and products that have not previously been displayed on the shelves.
Step 2
Conduct a survey among buyers. Hand out the forms and ask them to write or tick off the items they would like to see in the store. Let them indicate the brand and the price that they are ready to give for this product. Conduct a bonus promotion and raffle prizes among those who filled out the forms. Give the winner a discount card for the product. You can attract sponsors from supplier companies to the action. They will also award commemorative prizes while advertising their product on flyers or banners.
Step 3
Don't hesitate to order a popular product in large quantities. You need to be careful with the new one. Add two to three boxes of products from an unknown assortment to your purchasing plan. If sales go well, an additional batch can be ordered. If your hopes are not justified, you will not make a profit because of the huge number of stale and useless products.
Step 4
Collect data from sellers and buyers together. Prepare a procurement plan. This is best done in Excel. Create a table with eight columns and as many rows as you want to order. Designate the columns as follows: serial number, product code by register, manufacturer, unit price, number of packages, cost per consignment, notes. Enter useful information in the last column: phone numbers and addresses of suppliers, delivery times, etc. Under the table, write "total" and print the total cost.
