Norwalk, Connecticut, United States: PGA Show Connects, a year-round, interactive virtual community of premium golf industry content, digital business sourcing and professional networking programmes, will present a free webinar addressing golf retail inventory management on Tuesday (July 28, 2 pm Eastern Time in the United States).

The ‘Managing Your Inventory So It Doesn’t Manage You’ webinar is presented by Management One and the Association of Golf Merchandisers and features speaker Paul Erickson, a respected retail educator and Management One Director of Marketing and Sales.

Designed for PGA Professionals and golf retailers, this complimentary webinar focuses on inventory as the heart of a golf business, and will identify the connections between SKUs and financial analysis. Starting with the basics, Erickson will share alternative concepts, techniques, and formulas to improve inventory turnover, cash flow, revenue growth and gross margin.  

PGA Professionals and golf retailers will gain several key takeaways from the webinar including:

• Three key steps to increase inventory sell-throughs and improve sales and cash flow.
• Current promotional techniques to clear inventory with less markdowns and more profit.
• How to increase initial mark-up without losing customers, tarnishing image or missing sales.
