Boutiques avoid dead eyewear inventory by using the display for style breadth and the backstock for proven demand. The store should not duplicate every visible frame equally.
Keep variety on the rack
Use visible capacity for meaningful differences in shape, color, and fit. If several styles look nearly identical, the store is spending inventory dollars without adding real choice.
Protect reader function
For readers, keep useful power breadth but reduce duplicate depth behind powers that age.
Use reorders to reshape the buy
- deepen repeat sellers
- rotate weak styles
- identify aging inventory
- avoid recreating the opening order
