Tips

:
  • Browse through the Filtered ECatalog Price Comparison Item Listing Grid first to see if generating a new ECatalog Price Comparison File by Class would be beneficial.
  • Use the Filters to narrow your focus, the Catalog / MSRP Differences is very useful.
  • Try not to get bogged down in the detail.  Take small steps that will give you the biggest return.  If you know copper is going through the roof, make sure to review electrical and plumbing departments first.
  • Before you get too crazy with price changes, ensure you have the tools and equipment necessary to do the job as efficiently as possible.  Step one is to get your store bin labeled with bin label hooks, get your store organized.  Work a small section at a time.  
  • This process is a lot of work, but if done correctly and smartly you will see a healthier bottom line.
