Buy Smarter, Sell Faster - Why Category Insights Drive Better Buying Decisions
Your categories aren’t just labels on a shelf, they’re either making you money or costing you money. In this episode of Retail Ready Tactics, we put category insights under the spotlight and show you how smarter buying and faster selling can keep your store profitable and your cash flow healthy.
You’ll discover:
- How to use POS data to measure category performance
- Why stockturn matters, and what it reveals about cash flow
- How to spot your “hero products” versus the lines holding you back
- What “buying smarter” really means (and how to do it with sales velocity)
- Practical ways to sell faster, clear space and reinvest in your bestsellers
If you want to stop tying up money in slow movers and start building a store that buys sharper, sells quicker and stays agile, this episode is packed with tactics you can put into practice right away.
