Masterclass: Merchandising with ex John Lewis Alison Metcalfe. Sales, Stock and Profit

Alison Metcalfe is a Merchandiser.

She ‘does stock’ to create efficiencies in the supply chain and maximise profit for retailers. She’s worked at many high street brands including BHS, Woolworths, and M&Co, and most recently spent 13 years as Merchandise Co-ordinator for fashion at John Lewis.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to effectively promote and mark down stock that is not selling
  • Why is June a time for deeper discounting?
  • Merging sales data and stock information
  • Why do you need to analyse sales in units rather than just cash turnover?
  • Key signs or indicators of a stock problem
