Tip #441 - Smarter Retail Planning
Dear Tip of the Weeker,
This week's Tip is inspired by a question asked on the Retail Mastery Group forum. Shannon writes,
"This seems like a very obvious question, but how do you plan sales figures by week? What I mean by this is, do you count Jan 1 - Jan 7 as week 1, or do you count starting with the first full week of the year? This year, for example, would be Jan 2 - Jan 8. I may be over-analyzing this, but the more I think about it, the crazier it makes me!"
