Understanding options makes retailers more profitable
Article Abstract:
Manufactured home retailers must focus on financing options that include measures on reducing costs to prevent losing market share and operational issues, particularly inventory turn and aging. Factors that contribute to a retailer's finance costs and measures to better control them should also be given emphasis. Manufacturers should adopt different programs and features, including bonus programs that utilize a flat-rate method to assign a standard percentage on all programs.
