How can we be more open and transparent with our customers about the inventory we have on hand and how we can serve them in a more personal way? After all, developing a genuine relationship with our customers is what keeps them coming back and what keeps them talking about us to others. For example, is a low stock/sold out label the only way to show customers that a product is in high demand? Are there other ways to show what our customers are loving?
