Retail Buying

This completely updated edition offers three new chapters that make this text an excellent resource for those entering the field of retail buying and merchandising.

The new chapters include:

Buying for Discount Operations.
A complete presentation on how professional purchasers for such companies as Target and Wal-Mart plan their purchasing strategies and execute their buying plans.

Consumer Analysis.
The importance of the consumer in the buyer`s decision-making process is discussed as well as the ways in which retail operations analyze customer demand.

Wholesale Purchasing on the Internet.
In addition to visiting the wholesale markets in the pursuit of new merchandise, many retail buyers are using the Internet as an additional means of product procurement. The concept of professional online purchasing is completely explored in this new chapter.

Included with this text is a DVD containing a two part production providing an onsite view of purchasing, planning, and buying. The video progresses from the stages of a buyer planning a purchase, through the buyer visiting the wholesale market, featuring many of the stops he/she makes in finalizing his/her purchase. The footage for the DVD was created in various buyers` premises including a New York City garment center, a residential buying office, in showrooms, and other real-life settings.

The Fashionista Files

She’s a clothing chameleon: a sharp tweed suit and ladylike driving gloves one moment, a punk rock T-shirt and studded belt the next. She’s a gypsy, a princess, and a diva.

Authors Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz are fashionistas who share a love for impractical shoes, small dogs that fit in designer handbags, and wearing white after Labor Day. They eat, sleep, and breathe fashion. And they’ll teach you how to

Fire Sale

In the 12th V. I. Warshawksi mystery, the private detective returns to her old South Chicago neighborhood, a visit littered with unpleasant memories, plus present-day sabotage, murder, and disappearing teenagers. After her former high-school basketball coach becomes ill with cancer, V. I. agrees to volunteer-coach the girls` team. An attempt to drum up corporate support for the team from local high-school alum Buffalo Bill Bysen, the elderly CEO of the By-Smart big-box discount store, proves a dismal failure; ironically, the Bysen family ends up appealing to V. I. instead when Bysen`s great-grandson Billy and one of the basketball team members run off together.
