A Date With Your Data
10/17/21 • 31 min
Now is prime time to start preparing and gearing up for the holiday season - and if you're listening to this in the year beyond 2021, that means October. With the Feel Good Holiday Roadmap, I've created a bulletproof action outline that will relieve retailers from at least some of the pressures of this demanding season and help you make that money with a greater sense of ease.
And I welcome you to our first action item on our Holiday Roadmap, which is to have a date with your data - yes, make it fun! Because even though analytics is not the sexiest thing in the world, it can be an incredibly powerful tool if you know how to use it. But if you don't know what you're looking for, it can turn into a complete waste of time - maybe even lead you down the wrong path.
But don't worry, I'm here with all the goodies on exactly what you should be looking for in your data. Let's dive in, get cozy, and together we'll find those retail magic numbers so you don't have to work backwards and play a guessing game when there is such a great opportunity to be making that money, honey!
In this episode, we cover:
- you don't have start from cold or square one or a blank page
- how to read your data & what to look at
- finding your retail magic numbers
- which is better - percentages or sales
Make sure you snag our amazing free resource with worksheets, resources and action items to get you in tip-top shape for the holiday rush. Get it all at feelgoodretail.com/holiday
