Much has been written about the estimated $245 billion in lost sales each year in North America alone that is a consequence of items being out-of-stock. Worse than the short-term effects of lost sales to brands is that 65% of consumers say that they would try a new brand if their “go-to brands” were out-of-stock.

Join Mike Graen as he welcomes Brand Elverston for a conversation that will explore the impact that retail shrink has on on-shelf availability and specifically inaccurate / phantom on hands.
