Spring Arbor Spotlight: Retailer Reports

Refresh your inventory with help from Spring Arbor.

Spring Arbor's Retailer Reports put valuable information about what's new, what's selling, and what's out of print at your fingertips. These reports can help improve your sales, margins, inventory turns, and profitability.

80/20 Report

Eighty percent of your sales comes from 20 percent of your inventory. As a result, it is critical to ensure you have that 20 percent fully stocked at all times. How do you do that? Spring Arbor's 80/20 Report can help. The report identifies the top 20 percent of titles that currently represent 80 percent of the sales in the CBA industry. This report identifies the bestselling titles by subject categories and can be sorted by rank, title, and author. With an Essential or Professional subscription to ipage® this report is available monthly, free of charge.

Frontlist Title Report

The Frontlist Title Report lists all titles being released in the next two months and includes Spring Arbor's on-order quantities to help you assess your demand. With an Essential or Professional subscription to ipage, this report is available monthly, free of charge.

Discontinued Title Report

The Discontinued Title Report helps you identify and eliminate obsolete products to keep your inventory clean. All items whose stock status has changed to either OP (Out of Print) or DT (Discontinued) are listed. You may use this information to identify products that should be marked down for quick sale to make room for newer product. This report is available free on all levels of ipage.
