"How should I structure the spring casual wear line based on last year's performance?"

AI

Based on your spring 2024 performance data, I recommend a 60/25/15 split: 60% proven silhouettes with seasonal updates, 25% trend-driven pieces, and 15% breakthrough innovations. Focus on expanding successful categories like joggers (+23% sell-through) and cropped styles (+31% margin). Consider reducing formal casual options by 12% to reallocate budget to high-performers.

Category Manager

"What's the optimal timing for introducing our new sustainable collection?"

AI

The ideal launch window is mid-February, aligning with sustainability-focused consumer sentiment peaks. I suggest a 3-phase rollout: Phase 1 (Feb 15) - Core basics in sustainable fabrics, Phase 2 (Mar 1) - Expanded styles, Phase 3 (Mar 15) - Premium sustainable pieces. This timing leverages the 18% boost in eco-conscious purchasing during Q1 and gives you 8 weeks to refine based on initial response.

"How many SKUs should I plan for our summer accessories line?"

AI

For optimal performance, I recommend 145-165 SKUs across accessories, based on your store footprint and historical velocity data. Breakdown: Bags (45 SKUs), Jewelry (35 SKUs), Scarves/Wraps (25 SKUs), Belts (20 SKUs), Hair accessories (25 SKUs), Small leather goods (15 SKUs). This range maintains 85% sellthrough rates while maximizing choice architecture for customers.
