True Value's 40 30 30 Seasonal Program

What is 40/30/30?

Receive seasonal products in three separate shipments, without incurring overstocks and the carrying costs of excess inventory. You simply order your seasonal goods in advance and stock will be reserved in the distribution center for you, even if we experience a run on certain products.

Order window 6/19 through 6/30

Simply use your Connect-4-Profit process to order your seasonal goods from June 19 to June 30 and split your order into three shipments: 40% will be delivered the week of October 1; the next 30% will arrive the week of November 5; and the final 30% the week of December 10. You will be billed with each delivery.

If you find that you still have stock on hand as December approaches, you can cancel a portion or all of the last 30% up until December 1. If early sales are strong, you can order additional merchandise at any time, and still receive your complete November and December orders as scheduled.
