[1] Greetings.<br>

Hi All:<br><br>
Today we start a new series in Business Tips called
"Open-To-Buy." If you are a retailer, you can't live
without open-to-buy. It is a logical way to manage your inventory
and generate more profits, while adequately servicing customers.
<br><br>
I couldn't believe this latest find - <b>Bar Code Printer Pro
software </b>that produces all types of barcode labels (EAN, UPC, Code
39, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes... and more) on
standard Avery labels. And it only costs <b>$12.75 (yes, twelve
dollars and 75 cents)</b>! I have never seen anything like
this. A must have for your store. Check it out in Unique
Products..<br><br>
Through the first half of 2006, the watch and jewelry market has been on
a tear. The government’s Bureau of Economic Analysis predicts consumer
sales of jewelry and watches to top out at $62.6 billion by year’s end,
that would be a 6.3 percent increase over previous year. List member Pam
Danziger is about to undertake a new study. Check it out in member
posts.<br><br>
Now, let's get to everything for the retailer.<br><br>
<br>
Sincerely<br><br>

[3] Business Tips - How to Use Open-To-Buy in Retailing<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Open-To-Buy is really an easy concept to understand, and one that all
retailers should use if you want to improve your bottom line. I could
never understand why it was called the Open-To-Buy. Rather I think it
should be the Open-To-Receive, as you are calculating how much
merchandise you can receive based on inventory levels and sales for a
period.<br><br>
Every retailer needs to use Open-To-Buy. The small retailer cannot afford
any mistakes because his sales volume and cash flow are critical. The
large retailer needs it due to his very size, which makes planning and
control all the more critical. Open-To-Buy planning will help retailers
do a better job of buying (which helps increase sales, reduce markdowns,
increase gross profit and increase inventory turn rate).<br>

Next we will discuss why you should use Open-To-Buy and then how to use
it. Open-To-Buy is really easy to do, and is one of those must-do
things in retailing.<br><br>

Jewelry stores are also reporting strong sales through the first half of
2006, with jewelry retailers’ sales growing 8.3 percent over 2005
mid-year results to reach $14.7 billion from January to June 2006.
