By John Keiser, SVP I did not like math. I admit it………….and I am guessing many of you did not have math on your list of favorite subjects either. Algebra, Geometry, Algebra/Trigonometry ….and Calculus! They were classes that you had to take and homework that you had to do. It was not until I got involved in business, and the retail business, that I learned to like, actually love, math. Math soon was more than classes and homework. It was a way to calculate profitability and success/failure of product categories. I could really see what was selling rather than feel what was selling. And I often found my “seeing” did not match my “feeling”. It was a way to put some “science” with the “emotion” of the product. It is good to really know what is selling and what you are really making money on. This edition is devoted to using facts and figures in retail. How profit margins, and sales and profitability/sq foot can help your business. I hope you are enjoying The Resource. We are working very hard to provide actionable ideas that you can implement in your store. Please email me at john.keiser@onecoast.com and let me know your thoughts about The Resource.
