Buying Plan For Pro Shop Essay, Research Paper

Summary of Buying Plan

To determine how much money I have spent on merchandise I need to use a

buying plan. A buying plan is essential to my golf shop so I know how much money I

have made.

Men?s wear is a very important type of merchandise since men spend the most

money in my golf shop. Especially during outings men out number women by a very

large margin. Most men want a souvenir from a Pete Dye golf course so they buy a shirt

or two. Men also spend a large amount on hard goods. Since I fit clubs for the members

they tend to buy a large amount of clubs and other hard goods. Golf balls sell out so fast

here due to the all the water I must buy vast quantities of them. Women tend to go

elsewhere to buy there clothes so that?s why I will put women?s clothes on sale most of

the time.

On holiday?s we always have a special tournament. In honor of the holiday I will

have a sale of ten percent of all men?s and women?s wear. Men?s and ladies member

guests will also have a sale during the tournament. Most hard goods will not have a sale

unless I have a hard time selling the product. Markdowns on clothing will only happen

when the clothes are out of season. I will take twenty-five percent off the price of the

item.

I would like to add no rangers or starters are needed for the month of November

due to lack of play.

A successful golf shop needs to start with a buying plan. I must use one to keep

all my money and goods in order. Without one I will have no idea how much money I

have made or lost throughout the year.
