Tier 1Retail Rookie

Retail Foundations for Ecommerce Merchants

You'll read your store's money the way a trading director does: what a sale really leaves after VAT, cost and fulfilment, why markup isn't margin, what a discount must achieve to pay for itself, and how stock, cover and sell-through tell you when to act.

1.1How retail makes money
1.2Margin, markup and VAT
1.3Price sensitivity
1.4Promotions, markdowns and clearance
1.5Stock, cover and sell-through
1.6Customers, value and returns

Outcome: You'll read your store's money the way a trading director does: what a sale really leaves after VAT, cost and fulfilment, why markup isn't margin, what a discount must achieve to pay for itself, and how stock, cover and sell-through tell you when to act.

Tier 2Smart Trader

Making Better Pricing and Inventory Decisions

You'll run a weekly trade: read the numbers in the right order, decide whether price is really the problem, plan markdowns from an exit target, forecast simply and measure honestly, plan stock and open-to-buy, and judge a promotion by what it added, not by how busy it looked.

2.2Markdown planning
2.3Forecasting demand
2.4Stock plans and open-to-buy

Tier 3Retail Strategist

Retail Strategy for Profitable Growth

You'll think like a trading manager: shape a range, use price sensitivity without over-trusting it, see cannibalisation and true contribution, choose an objective and guardrails before a markdown, keep pricing honest, and plan a season with scenarios.

3.1Assortment and category strategy
3.2Price response in depth
3.3Profitability by product and channel
