An Excerpt from this Article:
“‘Turn, Turn, Turn’ should be every retailer’s theme song today. If we put a retail spin on the lyrics, increasing sales volume would undoubtedly be the opening verse. Following would be a refrain on selling inventory more quickly. In other words, faster turn! Notice I did not mention margin. The margin that you maintain is irrelevant if sales are not suffi- cient to cover expenses and merchandise receipts.”
