Wholesale Buy Plan
Show your buying judgement by creating a wholesale buying plan for a retailer selecting products from brands at a trade show.
Full task instructions
Imagine you are a buyer for an independent fashion retailer attending a trade show. Create a buy plan for one season across one category (e.g. outerwear, knitwear, or accessories). Select 6-8 products from fictional brands, justify each choice against your target customer and store positioning, allocate buy quantities and budget, and explain how the selections work together as a balanced range. Include a simple budget summary.
Deliverable
A buy plan document (spreadsheet or PDF table) with selected products, brand names, prices, quantities, budget breakdown, and a short rationale for the overall selection.
Constraints
Use fictional brand and product names. Do not copy an existing retailer buy. Keep the budget realistic for an independent store with a limited seasonal spend.
