Resorts avoid dead eyewear inventory by keeping the year-round assortment disciplined and treating activity, occupancy, and event peaks as temporary inventory needs.
Separate evergreen demand from peak demand
Readers may remain relatively steady while sunglass depth changes with pool, beach, golf, ski, weather, and destination seasons.
Use temporary buffers
Add inventory before proven high-demand periods, then reduce the buffer after the peak rather than carrying seasonal quantities all year.
Keep backstock selective
Duplicate proven reader powers and sunglass styles instead of recreating the full visible assortment in storage.
Review by amenity and retail location
Use reorders, stockouts, and aging to identify where inventory earns more depth and where the program should stay smaller.
