Data-Driven Buying for High GMROI

Are you buying more inventory… but your GMROI still won’t budge?

If your buys keep turning into “hope it works” decisions, we’re going to tighten the logic behind what you buy, how much you buy, and when you stop buying.

In this collaborative FASHION BIZ NETWORKING ROUNDTABLE, we’ll unpack how to buy with discipline - so your dollars go to the right products, at the right depth, with clear guardrails that protect GMROI (Gross Margin Return On Inventory) and reduce markdown risk.

We’ll break down:
➡️ ABC/XYZ segmentation to separate “core winners” from volatile movers.

➡️ Depth vs. breadth logic, so assortments don’t get spread thin.

➡️ Sell-through thresholds that trigger action early (before margin gets hit).

➡️ OTB guardrails that keep plans flexible without turning into chaos.

You’ll leave with a clearer buying “rule set” your whole team can follow - so decisions feel calmer, faster, and more consistent. Think: fewer emotional buys, fewer late surprises, less inventory drag… and a plan that’s built to protect GMROI even when demand shifts.

Who it’s for: buyers, merchandisers, planners, founders, retail/wholesale leaders, and finance partners who support the buy.
