Wow. It’s already September. For the average person that just means the end of summer and the start of pumpkin spice and football season. But for retailers, this is the time when you’re preparing for the busiest shopping season of the year.
Getting through the fall and winter seasons is an all-around team effort. Like any fall sport, August and September are your retail company’s “pre-season.” At the beginning of the season the only thing that matters is yourself. You are not worried about your competition yet because the only team that you have to face every day is your own.
The first thing you do in pre-season is practice, practice, and practice some more. Every year is going to be different. You will have different people, different strengths, and different weaknesses. The only way everyone on your team is going to know what to do in any given situation is to anticipate every possible scenario.
Pre-season is when you have to essentially “scout” yourself to identify your weaknesses. This is the perfect opportunity to identify and fix lingering issues while you have the time before it really matters later on.
Every retail company is like a sports team. They have to prepare in their pre-season so that they are ready for crunch time in October, November, and December.
What is your company doing to prepare? Have you looked for any weaknesses that may cause some serious issues this upcoming shopping season?
