“The Bankson Group has been an extremely useful resource that has put real data behind our decision-making process.  Being able to track inventory, sales, product turns and profitability by category each month has been very valuable as we have seen our general merchandise sales grow by 12-15% for 3 years running.”

“David and Phil of The Bankson Group encourage all to review and drill into inventory to apply experience and data to drive sale floor decisions. Monthly check-ins help the team become competent in the retail metrics and understand the impact each person has on the success of the store. Maine has seen a 48% increase in gross sales of logo clothing department.

The University of Maine has been working with The Bankson Group for over 10 years.  Since establishing our relationship, we have come to trust their expert operational insights, especially within the college retail marketplace.   We have been able to take our operation to new levels of success with year over year sales increases in several of our key merchandise categories by utilizing their keen inventory management strategies.  Our individually assigned store consultant has become a key part of our planning process, consistently taking a personal interest in our success while helping connect us to industry peers that face similar challenges.

I would highly recommend The Bankson Group as a retail consultant partner.”
