How retailers can beat inflation this Christmas

 

Christmas season is always a business growth opportunity for many retailers due to a sure spike in consumer spending. In fact, Filipinos were found to spend 331% of their monthly income during the holidays in 2021. Yet, a successful season for many retailers this year is threatened by the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain, along with the current economic challenges such as soaring inflation, increasing price of petroleum products, and weakening consumer confidence. 

 

“Similar to retailers globally, Filipino businesses also grapple with the increased supply chain challenges from both the pandemic and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. What’s more, consumers are equally experiencing the brunt of this situation, making the climate harsher for many enterprises,” shared Kristie Davison, Vice President Sales Asia Pacific at RELEX Solutions. “The most efficient way for retailers to navigate these uncertainties would be to plan how to maximize sales while minimizing loss.”

Seasonal inventory management is often difficult due to advanced purchasing before the season and a high risk of the residual post-season stock. Christmas, in particular, means that there’s a high turnover of product lines from one season to the next. Think about how a lot of smartphones are sold during the holidays but the selection is always different per year. Furthermore, brands also often launch new products that are systematically pushed throughout the -ber months as seen in 11.11 and 12.12 promotions, requiring retailers to assess demand for each. These situations highlight how crucial demand forecasting is in order to get the right amount of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and ensure a return on investment. Unfortunately, many retailers manually forecast demand, posing high risks of inaccuracy that can lead to over- or understocking. 

 

Automating demand forecasting helps businesses achieve optimal outcomes by improving the on-shelf availability of seasonal products and reducing residual stocks when the season ends. A good forecasting model for seasonal planning includes a reference product that can be specified against seasonal or event-specific indices to calculate data-backed forecasts for new items. Empowering businesses to search the historical assortment for items with similarities to those being introduced and build a forecast can potentially drive significant improvements to availability and inventory values while considerably reducing markdowns.

 

With Christmas spanning four months in the Philippines, smart replenishment also contributes to improving a brand’s responsiveness to consumer demands. A good solution is to deliver only a part of the forecast demand to stores at the beginning of the season to avoid moving goods among shops. Once holiday shopping starts, SKUs at individual stores can be replenished through pull control that is based on the latest sales, store-specific forecasts, and actual inventory. This enables retailers to effectively respond to local conditions with respect to external factors such as weather or a change in competition for an individual store. When products are bought in advance, push control should be used toward the end of the season to ensure that seasonal products don’t pile up unnoticed in the central warehouse. An ideal management system allows allocations to be directed to the stores with the best chances of selling the products such as those with the highest sales and no excess inventory.

 

“It is important to remember that a model of operations is not necessarily the best one simply because it has been used for years,” added Davison. “Digitizing seasonal inventory management helps retailers make seasonal sales sustainable, achieve better results, and prepare well for such events.”

 

RELEX Solutions is a market-leading supply chain & retail planning platform that helps retailers and consumer brands unify their planning, from demand and merchandise to supply chain and operations, for maximum customer satisfaction at the lowest operating cost.

 

Hello Glow Ultralight ++Matte Sunscreen offers the best of both worlds: sun protection and skincare

 

No time to add sunscreen to your skincare routine? In a tropical country like ours, sunscreen is a skincare must-have to prevent sun damage, which causes the skin to age faster and may cause skin cancer. And now, it’s much easier to incorporate sunscreens in your skincare routine, thanks to Hello Glow and the newest addition to their product line – Ultralight ++Matte Sunscreen that offers the best of both worlds:  sun protection and skincare – an all-in-one product that’s packed with amazing benefits!

 

Hello Glow’s Ultralight Matte Sunscreen comes on the heels of the bestselling Hello Glow Advance Rejuvenating Set. Many fans of the skincare brand sent in requests, and as a result, the company came up with a bigger version of Ultralight Matte Sunscreen.

“When we do product development, it’s imperative that we stick to the core of our brand, #BecauseYourSkinMatters. The feedback from our patrons are equally as important as the innovations we develop. In fact, the sunscreen has changed the landscape of skincare and Hello Glow Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen is definitely something to look out for because of its skin-loving ingredients, not to mention the sun care protection it can give your skin,” said Hello Glow brand manager AJ Pantaleon. 

 

Hello Glow Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen has 4% niacinamide, which has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties and may decrease pigmentation from melasma and treat dark spots. Even better, it can do so with less side effects than other ingredients, and it may be an effective topical treatment for mild to moderate acne. Plus, it offers added sun protection since it strengthens the skin's response against UV rays.  

 

Boosting Hello Glow’s sunscreen’s anti-aging powers is the synergy of niacinamide with this product’s other active ingredient, hexylresorcinol. The powerful combination of the two also helps treat uneven skin tone.

 

More than that, Hello Glow Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen contains no less than 3 types of ceramides, which helps restore the skin-barrier and retain hydration, keeping the skin healthy, firm, and supple. Hello Glow’s sunscreen even has Centella Asiatica for more moisturizing and soothing effects. And if you can believe it, this latest product also delivers all that with oil control and a completely natural matte finish!

 

Hello Glow Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen (50g) is available for the affordable price of P320 at Watsons, The SM Store, Robinsons Department Store, Savemore, Alfamart, and other leading department stores and supermarkets nationwide, as well as online on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

The Huawei nova Y61 exhibits all the hallmarks of a crowd favorite

The Huawei nova Series has enjoyed massive popularity in the Philippines in the past few years, thanks to its affordable flagship offerings that really struck a chord with the younger demographic. This success has prompted Huawei to release a fresh, new nova Y device that’s bound to be a hit like its predecessors.

 

Sporting high-spec smart cameras, beefy RAM, and super-fast charging, the Huawei nova Y61 exhibits all the hallmarks of a crowd favorite -- and it’s set to hit the Philippine market soon!

 

Here’s a sampling of the awesome tech to expect on this newest member of the nova family:

50MP AI Triple Camera

 

Triple cameras on a nova phone have been known to buck the trend in its price point, and that continues with the nova Y61. Specifically, a 50MP Main Camera paired with a 2MP Depth Camera and a 4cm Macro Camera. The Depth Camera works in tandem with the 50MP Main Camera to produce well-lit aperture photographs that highlight the subject and their features in full clarity, enriching the layers of the image capture, and create a bokeh background that will not contrast too harshly against the main subject of the shot. 

 

These cameras also offer a number of shooting modes that optimize each lens for a variety of scenarios. With the HUAWEI nova Y61’s camera, you can capture high definition photography, capture gorgeous nightscapes with Super Night Shot, experiment motion with AI Snapshot, and shoot videos using Slow Motion feature. 

 

Smooth performance with 6GB of RAM

 

Multitasking on the Huawei nova Y61 is a breeze, thanks to 6GB of RAM that ensures rapid app launching and switching. Keep multiple apps open and never lose progress on any of them, even on resource-intensive ones like streaming apps, navigation, and web browsing. The 6GB of RAM allows your phone to function smoothly from various applications simultaneously, and it can strengthen your phone’s multitasking options. And if you’re after the gaming experience, 6GB RAM of the new nova Y61 will let you play your favorite games to their fullest potential. Enjoy playing your mobile games without stuttering and lag even if you have more apps running in the background. 

 

5000mAh Battery + 22.5W SuperCharge   

 

Going on for a full day or more is no challenge, as the Huawei nova Y61 is powered by a huge 5000mAh battery. Binge videos and movies, play graphics-heavy games, and snap multiple albums’ worth of pictures and still have enough power to coast through the evening. 

 

Topping up that expansive battery is the 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge, which charges the device up to 47% in less than 30 minutes. It’s the fastest charging solution for any smartphone in its price range, putting the nova Y61 very much ahead of the competition in terms of endurance.

 

All these incredible features are wrapped up in an understated yet elegant exterior, especially with the Star Effect Finishing that evokes the brilliant night sky. It’s minimalist and grand at the same time, giving the nova Y61 a unique aesthetic without sacrificing ergonomics.

 

Stay tuned to Huawei’s official channels to get a better peek at the Huawei nova Y61, coming to Philippine shores soon! You may check out more details about nova Y61 by visiting this page: HUAWEI nova Y61
