Dead Inventory vs Smart Inventory
The difference between hope-based and data-driven toy selection
Dead Inventory
×
Random Ordering
Buying based on catalogs without data on what actually sells
×
Trade Show Impulse Buys
Flashy booth displays driving emotional purchasing decisions
×
No Sell-Through Data
Zero visibility into which products move and which collect dust
×
6-Month Shelf Life
Products sitting unsold for half a year before being clearanced
×
Manual Reorders
Spreadsheets, phone calls, and guesswork on restock timing
×
Hope-Based Merchandising
"Let's see if customers like it" with no feedback loop
