Unsold Stock Is The Biggest Cash Drain In Kids Wear Retail
Racks full of clothes that nobody buys block your money and your shelf space. Most of the time the cause is not the market. It is a few buying mistakes that can be fixed from the next order.
1. You Bought Too Many Designs, Too Little Depth
Fifty designs with two pieces each means customers rarely find their size. Fewer designs with proper size depth sell faster.
2. Wrong Size Mix
If most stock is in sizes your customers do not buy, it will sit. Track which sizes finish first and order accordingly.
3. Fabric Looks Good But Feels Bad
Parents touch the fabric. Rough or thin material kills the sale even when the design is nice.
4. Season Mismatch
Winter stock arriving in January or festive stock arriving after Diwali is a lost season. Plan 6 to 8 weeks ahead.
5. No Basics
Trend pieces get attention, but plain tees, shorts, night wear and co-ord sets bring repeat customers.
6. Everything Priced The Same Way
Mix entry-level, mid and premium pieces so every parent finds something in their budget.
7. No Quick Clearance Plan
Decide early which items you will bundle or discount after 45 to 60 days instead of waiting till the season ends.
A Simple Fix For Your Next Order
- Reorder only what sold in the last 30 days.
- Keep 60 to 70 percent of the order in basics.
- Order smaller lots more often instead of one huge lot.
