Product Deletions
Every catalog cycle, a strategic analysis is done on the entire product collection. This analysis is essential to
maintain a healthy assortment of new and best-selling products. During that analysis, we review every item to
determine the best possible merchandise mix to offer our customers. Many points are taken into consideration to
help determine a discontinuation:1. Sales performance of the item and/or color
2. Duplication of the product
3. Color change
4. Trend change
5. Sales movement of the product shifting to a similar product
After the analysis is completed, we determine if we have a balanced merchandise selection that will meet all the
needs of your customers. In some cases, we may discontinue a specific product that you feel your sales force sells
well. In most cases, the sales from the discontinuance can be shifted to a similar item or color. We try very hard to
be cognizant of strong regional products and attempt to maintain them in the baseline as long as the sales continue
to merit the space.
You may order discontinued products for two weeks after the close of the Winter/Spring 2005 Catalog. The My Sales
Web Application deadline to submit orders containing discontinued products is May 13, 2005.
