A SKU report can help make sure you have the right products in stock, in the right quantities, and at the right prices in each country you sell in, as ultimately you are here to make a profit and not a loss!
A SKU report can do all of that and more.
What is a SKU report?
A Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) report is a document that lists all of your products, along with their SKU numbers, quantities, prices, selling fees and other relevant data.
From the report you will be able to identify the low performing SKUs that might be costing you money, but also the individual high performing SKUs where you are making a healthy margin.
Why is a SKU report important for an international e-commerce seller such as yourself?
The report can provide you with a wealth of information about your global operations, including:
A breakdown of margins and retailing prices of each product in each country
These figures can help you track your costs and ensure that you’re pricing your products competitively in each country.
The sales history of each product in each country
This information can help you identify your best-selling products in each country and make decisions about your product assortment and how you specifically market the product.
The profitability of each product in each country
This information can help you make decisions about which products to keep in stock in each country and which products to discontinue.
How to use a SKU report to improve your global selling:
There are many ways to use a SKU report to identify areas of improvement in: pricing, product selection and advertising. Here are a few ideas:
