Are You Keeping Up With The Flood?
Traditional apparel retailers are having to keep up with the flood of new ways to shop or sink into failure. The average customer is using websites and their mobile devices to shop anytime they feel like it, from anywhere, and, as a result, retailers need to meet the challenge of omni-channel shopping by effective apparel software for small business.
This move to e-commerce affects those who supply the apparel retailers, because it changes the way the product moves through the system from end to end.
- increased number of invoices for smaller orders sent directly to the customer increases processing and handling
- supplier shipping to customer moves inventory risk away from the retailer
- e-commerce sites can carry a wider assortment of styles and sizes available for custom orders in-store
- tight inventory management is critical to success
- customers are willing to pay full price online if the return policy is satisfactory
- increased returns due to issues like sizing complicate payment processing
- e-commerce allows retailers to improve sell-through while reducing inventory investment
- e-commerce sales of apparel has increased
- traditional retailing sales of apparel has decreased but is still competitive
