One of the most commonly asked questions from our customers is "How much backstock of your wine accessories should we carry?"
As a teammate working with your company to run a more profitable business, we offer several services that you may or may not know about that might help you with this age old question of what to buy, how much to buy, when to reorder, etc. We see it as our job to help you find the perfect product mix that sells and to assist in making sure you don't have stale inventory.
Here are a few ways we believe you can help keep your inventory levels lean and efficient.
- Have You Ordered Online Yet? - Ordering online makes keeping track of previous orders (and thus what has sold) very easy. When you visit our site, you can view what you have purchased in the past and reorder any products that have sold quickly. Also, when you order online, you will receive an e-mail 50 days after the purchase. This email will list all the items with their photos and purchased quantities so you can quickly check your system or visually scan your store(s) to see which products have either run low or sold out. If you have ordered online in the past, login and click on the View Previous Orders and you'll see what we are talking about.
- Low Minimum Orrders - Because certain products naturally sell faster than others, True Fabrications always has low minimum orders. We would hate for you to have to wait to restock all your accessories while a top selling item has been sold out for days. So, instead of turning customers away, give us a call whenever you need to restock that top-selling accessory. We ship our products to you via Fedex. As one of the largest shipping companies in the area, we pass on our rates to our customers. So, you’ll find savings even with your smaller orders.
- We Are Experts - As with most product sales, we find that our line of wine accessories tends to follow a 70-30 rule. This means that 70% of your wine accessory sales will come from just 30% of your product categories. Our sales team has years of experience to help you find the top selling products in your industry and geographic location.
- Fast Shipping - Whether you place your order online, call one of our sales team, fax us, email us, or even text us, we will ship your order within 2 business days. This means you can expect your orders to arrive within 3-7 business days depending on your location.
- Try New Items - Don’t ever be afraid to try new items with us. We believe that sampling is the best way to really figure out how a product works. We test our products and believe you should too. Give an item a try and if it doesn’t work out, we will exchange it. By working through this kind of trial and error, your business won’t end up with a backed up inventory that you can’t sell due to an unpopular product.
- Know What You Need? - Preorder your items with us! Yes, we know this may seem like a counter intuitive idea. But, preordering items (especially during the holidays) allows you to begin selling and marketing products before you even have them in stock. By creating a buzz around hot new products, you will find the response from your regular customers to be outstanding. Creating anticipation can help turn the new items into must have purchases.
Cheers!
True Fabrications
