Use ChainDrive software at your sporting goods store
Stores that specialize in the sale of sporting goods and related products are able to experience year-round success through the careful phasing in and out of seasonal products of all kinds. Keeping the in-season sports products prominent on your store floors will attract the widest range of customers and get you the most business. Similarly, tweaking pricing to reflect the current popularity of a given sport or product will help you make more profit and more sales. In order to accomplish these tasks in the most effective and thorough manner, you will need more than a spreadsheet and a few hours of thought. ChainDrive’s retail management software package is the comprehensive solution for sporting goods retail management.
With the ability to apply user-definable attributes to any and all products in your inventory, you can create customized groupings for your products. You can attach labels to products that identify them as being related to a certain sport, team, or even player. Doing so will let you keep your inventory organized and help you take mass action on products at important intervals. For example, when football season is over, you can select all products under the “football” tag and mark down prices, lower allocation levels, and so on. Accurate control of seasonal products is absolutely crucial to the sporting goods market. People aren’t going to want to buy skis and snowboarding gear in the middle of summer – or if they are, they should be heavily discounted to reflect that they are out of season.
Size Analysis is also a great tool for sporting goods stores. If you sell jerseys, sporting shoes, or other apparel that come in different sizes, you need to choose the right ratio of sizes to stock on your store floors. The Size Analysis tool comes up with the optimal ratio using sophisticated formulas. This will increase your turnover and overall profits in a substantial way.
