Frameworks for running a merch programme over a year
A framework is the part of a programme that does not change between campaigns. The twenty pages here cover the decisions that have to be made once and then applied repeatedly: the merchandise strategy, the pricing structure, the supplier portfolio and the event calendar.
Written to be handed over
The framework pages are written to be handed to somebody else. The merch strategy framework turns a programme into a twelve-month plan, the pricing framework sets the tier structure at 50, 100, 250 and 500 units with breaks at 1,000 and 5,000, and the supply chain and compliance frameworks describe what has to be true before a supplier is added.
They are also dated. Each framework carries the monthly cadence that makes it work: an updated supplier scorecard covering lead time, defect rate and certification status, a pricing benchmark in EUR excluding VAT, a top-three risk register and a decision log signed off by the programme owner.
Twenty frameworks
Choose the framework that matches the stage your programme is at rather than reading all twenty.
