Effective Stock Rotation Increases ROI
Every year is the same. Even leap years are the same as other years. Each January is followed by a February. There is always a November before December. Tuesday arrives after Monday.
There are always twelve months to a year and three months to a quarter. There are four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall.Since each year is the same it offers a retail business the opportunity to plan for ROI (Return on Investment). An effective policy to have is to never have the same merchandise in stock a year later. This means, using a shoe store as an example, that if you invested in forty shoes of one brand, none of those forty shoes should be in stock 366 days later.To further illustrate the point, let's say that the forty shoes are manufactured by Rox and the style number is 22N7A. There are various sizes for adult females and males.
A Purchase Order with number 79563 was issued for the investment.If you sell all forty shoes in a month, that is great. This does not mean you should not invest in forty more shoes of the same brand and style. This means that the forty shoes you received with Purchase Order 79563 should not still be around a year later. If you still got a pair or more of these shoes, then you are losing money.An effective ROI strategy is to follow this Stock Rotation Philosophy and this is how it works. You purchase forty shoes from a vendor.Your cost is $40 and you use your general pricing formula to determine the retail price.
Let's say retail is $99.99. You put your shoes on display and they are slow sellers. Two months down the road you sell have 35 pairs left.So you mark the shoes down and put them on sale for $79.99. You make some sales and a profit. Six months later you still have about 30 pairs left.
So you mark the price down again and begin selling the shoes for $59.99. The profit margin has decreased but you are still making a profit. You find that the shoes sell quickly and all 30 are sold within a month.If you sell all forty shoes at $99.99 you will make a $2400 profit. However, let's say that at $99.99 the product does not move quickly. You end up having these shoes in stock for four years.
So it takes four years to make the $2400 profit.However, if you find you can lower the price, the shoes sell quickly but after selling all forty at the price of $59.99 you have only made $800 profit. Lets say you sold all forty pairs in a month, and then invested in another forty pairs. Each month you sell all forty pairs and each month you invest in another forty pairs. By the end of the year you have earned $9600 in profit.By sticking to the $99.99 price, just because there is more profit per item, you only sell ten shoes by the end of the year. Your total profit is $600.$9600 is a lot better than $600.
That is the beauty of the Stock Rotation Philosophy. Many people, especially business people understand this principle and if reading this article, will respond with a"duh!" However, it is surprising even to me, how many people fail to understand this basic ROI concept..

When I had my first son I hadn't planned to go back to work.
I suddenly had to return to the workforce when he was three months old.
I was completely unprepared and my son went from an exclusively breastfeeding baby to a mostly formula baby within a short period of time.
I learned a lot from my experience with him and was much more prepared when I had my daughter.
I was able to exclusively breastfeed her and work full time.
Because of what I went through, the emotions of trying to pump enough milk for the next day, I wanted to gather up all my tips and write them down for others to use.
I hope that you find these tips helpful.1. Plan ahead if possible.
Get a freezer stash going before you go back to work.2. Do not just pump at work.
Pump at home on your days off and before and after work.3. Pump while nursing.
Pump on one side while nursing on the other.4. Find a good place to pump, where you are comfortable...

Why Is Spam Such a Problem?
Spam can be a lot more damaging than you might think. Obviously, they are the most annoying thing that you can receive through your inbox, but it goes deeper than that. If you are like the millions of other internet email users, you know that sending and receiving email is a free service that comes with your internet service. Internet service providers are great for providing you with a way to send letters to your friends and family while saving you the cost of postage and envelopes. You can even send cards for free with an email address.
But don't let the free service make you think that you don't actually have to pay for it. Let me explain. Internet service providers and web hosts do not get their email services for free. They have to pay for something that we do not have to pay for as consumers. They have to pay for bandwidth.
That might not mean much to you, but for these companies, it means that they are forced to produce mass emails, and this means that their costs...

Stand-up Comedy Addict? Comedian Identifies Stage Addiction
Is it possible for a comedian, comedy entertainer or humorous speaker to actually be addicted to the stage?
Comedy guru Steve Roye points out some stunning similarities between an addict in search of a drug and a performer in search of stage time in a just released article entitled "Stage Addiction: Myth or Reality".Roye is quick to point out that unlike most addictions, stage addiction can have positive or negative ramifications, depending upon the skill level and expertise of the performer.
"Drugs provide a 'high' for the user.
A successful comedy show or presentation provides an extreme 'high' for the performer.
Drug users are driven to get the 'fix' ? performers are driven to get stage time, which provides a very potent type of 'fix', even though no external chemical is involved.
One of the significant differences between drug addiction and stage addiction is that a stage addict won't break into your house to get stage time."According...
