Campus stores should review eyewear weekly during launch and before major academic traffic periods, with additional checks around orientation, athletics, family weekends, and graduation.
Reorder when
- reader powers cannot cover expected demand through lead time
- sunglass styles are thinning before outdoor or travel peaks
- inventory is repeatedly depleted during campus events
Separate normal and peak cadence
The store may need more frequent replenishment during a few high-volume weeks without maintaining that cadence all semester.
Use the academic calendar as the trigger
Review inventory early enough to reorder before the traffic period begins.
