If you ask parents what their biggest fear is during the holiday season, most will agree: disappointing their children. One of the most common ways for this fear to manifest itself is at the retail store - parents arrive either online or in store at the last minute, go to find the item their child wanted most this holiday season and discover it's out of stock. It's a nightmare come true in the eyes of many parents.
Over the past few years, retailers have been trying to extend the duration of the Black Friday holiday shopping period.
Inventory is the key asset of any successful merchant, regardless of whether it sells its products online, in brick-and-mortar stores or via any other sales channel.
