Great way to start the week supporting a customer in chemical environments with footwear. Alongside key supplier Rockfall we indentified the correct products and added value with foot surveys to ensure the buyin of the users from the offset. Just another way I can support , so if you have any issues and want a supplier which is part of the solution and not the problem give me a try. I can help MDs drive down cost savings, production managers drive down production , and save time without you having to drive down to the local supplier as we have plenty stock of products on the shelf and I can work with you so you have it before you run out.

Things are getting uncomfortable for many brands and retailers in the apparel and footwear sector. The latest developments in transportation, increases in raw material prices, significant sales weaknesses and excessive stock levels are all putting pressure on margins and cash flow. The sourcing strategy and organization of many companies need to be adapted as quickly as possible. Cost awareness must become the focus of all considerations. Newtrims International AB helps companies to determine the real sourcing and production costs, analyze and evaluate the data, use the findings for better transparency and control of the suppliers and thus ultimately for FOB cost optimization. This is where there is great, often untapped, potential for improving margins and cash flow. #sourcingstrategy #suppliermanagement #costreduction #newtrims

The top products imported through the Entry Type 86 program are exactly what you'd expect. Except... Footwear & Apparel. Yes, agencies regulate leather on shoes and pearl buttons on shirts. But a lot of footwear and apparel isn't regulated. Now, these are ideal eCommerce purchases, so I understand the volume. T86 is being used as a voluntary pilot program. There are benefits: - Better trade data = Efficient clearances. - Tariff > Description. - Improved Security = Trusted Trader Status. - Fewer delays result in decreased costs. We're seeing a shift in preference for T86 regardless of the mode of transport. It makes sense.

Product page tactic to try 👀 Place the add-to-cart button HIGHER on your product page. When we did this in a recent test, conversions increased by 25%. For this footwear brand selling internationally, their high-quality shoes are super popular with many colorways to choose from. Most customers already know about them, so our new layout moved the add-to-cart button ABOVE the description. Know your target customer! Most brands assume that adding a description directly above the add-to-cart button will tug at their emotions and convince the user to buy. But for some, too much info up top interrupts the purchase flow and distracts from the actual product and visuals - especially for an apparel brand. Test it out: Move your ATC button ABOVE your product description. #ecommerce
