Favorite Quotes in Retail Inventory Management

“When you do make a mistake, it’s key you learn from it. I often call markdowns the tuition you pay on the education of your customer.” -Paul

“We think we cant get more markup. That is the one area retailers think the marked is pretty much fixed. No, it’s not, you can get more markup than you think.” -Paul

“Liberal return policies have been shown to reduce the returns, not increase them.” -Paul
