Earnshaw’s to Present Buying Seminar at NYIGF

Boost your business IQ with Earnshaw’s at this week’s New York International Gift Fair, where our seminar “The 1-2-3s of Successful Buying and Inventory Control" will offer up need-to-know tricks of the trade.

Vincent G. Quan, an industry consultant and assistant professor in fashion merchandising management of the Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology at the Fashion Institute of Technology, will lead the session.

Learn how to calculate open to buy and inventory turnover, determine markups and markdowns and calculate estimate net profit—all you’ll need is a basic calculator. Quan will also be answering retailers’ most pressing questions after the seminar.

The session will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 17. It will be held in Room 1A02-03 at the Javits Center. Tickets are $25.
