Retail With Clarity

Running a retail business is tough. Running an independent shop, online store or small chain is tougher. The most exciting thing about independent retailers is that they’re run by people who have a true passion for what they sell. Often, though, they don’t have a passion for the numbers that drive profits for their business. That’s where you’re in luck. I LOVE those numbers! In the world of the big retailers, what I do is called “merchandise planning” and they have entire teams devoted to it all day, every day. With over fifteen years’ experience in head offices of those big firms, I’m now on a mission to bring the knowledge and tools they use to small and medium retailers. These days I choose to work with businesses who are flexible and know there’s more to life than work – just like me. Retail With Clarity is perfect for you if… • You’re holding more stock than makes sense for your finances (and your limited storage space!). • You’re not sure which products work best for your bottom line. • You need help setting the right pricing. • You’re passionate about what you sell but need an extra helping hand with the business side of things. I want to give small retailers the time to focus on the products they’re passionate about. I’ll deal with the planning and analysis – all those numbers which you know are important but which weren’t part of your dream when you set up your shop. You focus on the products. Be warned, though. I’ll probably fall in love with your business while I work. At the moment Retail With Clarity is made up of… just me. But I love to partner with other businesses who work with the same kinds of clients as I do, so if that’s you (if you’re a buying consultancy, for example!), get in touch.
