What should drive my market coverage…the corporate assortment strategy, the category role, the target shopper or my overall traffic?
-
How can my assortment drive differentiation? And, how do I encourage item customization from suppliers?

Where is the transferable demand? How do I find and encourage it?
-
How do I optimize enterprise-to-store level product mix?
-
How do I effectively rationalize sizes, flavors, extensions and suppliers?
