You have questions, and we have answers

How do you budget your inventory expenditures?
How much should you buy in each of your classifications of merchandise?
When should you receive it?
How much by classification should be on the sales floor for a grand opening?
How much merchandise should you flow into the store after the opening?
How much for next season?
And what kind of seasonal fluctuations should you expect?
