Understanding Retailing through Applied Statistics

Why statistic is important for retailing business? Basically, we can use statistic to present business data, draw conclusions, make reliable forecasts about a business activities and to improve your business process.

Most people have misconception that statistic is math. But in reality, I will say it is a useful tool to help your overall business in identifying the pattern (such as buyer pattern). Statistic is an interesting subject. Frankly, I hate math but statistic subject impressed me a lots!

After attending “Understanding Retailing through Applied Statistics”, I have a better idea on how to read and analyse market environment through census report. From the census report, Steven Chong draw us the conclusion that the highest GDP contribution sector is service and follow by manufacturing. Potential market spending power age group is 35-44 and 45-64.

Mr. Sia asked all of us don’t trust 100% on the data presented to you, because many people use outlier to play around with the data. For example, five houses on a hill by the beach RM2 million, RM500K, RM300K, RM100K and RM100K. Real estate people might tell you that the average house price is RM600 (mean), smart buyer will argue that the mode price is RM100K. Therefore, when read the statistic, you should ask for mean, median and mode.

How do you normally motivate your employees? Reward program? Training and team building camp? All of these might take times and monetary investment. We suggested one of the faster and easier ways here is to play games and motivation sharing among the team before started to work. This method is useful especially you have many outlets which you do not have time to visit all.

Why not set a fun and cheerful culture in your working environment. Let's your employees enjoy and get fun! It is especially important for those who are in sales. Positive and happy environment can help you to attract more happy customers in to your shop.
