Cleaning Up Your Retail Backroom Today And Feel Better | Retail Today With Bob Phibbs, the Retail Doctor - Flash Briefing

Have you been in that creepy back room of yours yet? Recently I talked about cleaning your store and a lot of people leave the back room on its own. They become this dumping ground for sloppiness and leftovers and broken fixtures that you don't even carry anymore. But God forbid, maybe I'll be able to use them someday. And so we just leave all that stuff up or we throw it up on top of each other, which makes it harder and harder to organize your stock room. So today I want you to go into your back room and realize that you could do Marie Kondo and does this give you joy or not? Then get rid of it if it doesn't, but old fixtures, old boxes, those need to go and stock that should be returned to vendors needs to go. And if it's brand new merch it's not going to sell it all in that back room. So find a place, if you can, to at least get it on the sales floor or even up above the overstock. But make no mistakes, it's time to clean up that back room.
