In the preceding argument, the owner of Movies Galore suggested its retail stores to close earlier and reduce stock to cut expenses, based on good effects already received from the store in downtown Marston. These strategies may sound reasonable at the face, but many critical, yet ignored questions need to be addressed.
To begin with, the manager believes that raising price is not a good way to deal with profit drops, for special bargains are what Movies Galore is famous for. However, the manager doesn't make it clear by comparing with other retail stores. If the price they offer is already much lower than the current market, this might be one of the main reasons that cause declines in the profits. It's much better to come up with a price plan after an extensive marketing analysis.
Additionally, building upon the implication that the retail store in downtown Marston reduced expenses greatly by closing three hours earlier than usual, the manager asks other stores to do the same. However, there are many other factors that affect income and costs that should be considered. For example, the Marston store is located in the downtown business area, so few customers visit at night. Conversely, if a store located in a living community closes earlier, it may lose most of its customers. Thus, a more detailed time schedule should be designed for each store after careful investigations.
Last but not least, the manager decided to reduce stock by eliminating movies released five years ago. The assumption here is old movies are no longer popular and it's just a waste of money keeping them in stock. One question may arise here is that some masterpieces are always welcoming, while other newer movies may not be that popular. As a result, it would be beneficial if the stores throw away movies based on their sales statistics instead of the release date.
Due to aforementioned evidence, although closing earlier and eliminating old movies might be useful strategies to deal with profit declines, more vigorous and thorough investigations is in need to come up with better plans for each store specifically.
