Suppliers: Things Are Looking Up

摘要

Moving forward slightly in sales, but with a number of shifts in market analysis and a new relationship among critical criteria - fashion, value, promotion, and the role of staff support like planning personnel - home textiles suppliers generally are predicting a better second half than first for their businesses.rnThe supplier side of the industry generally is still reeling - as most business segments are - from the most precipitous recession any have seen. The result for the future, a number of them predict, will see significant changes in the way the home textiles business is handled.rnOverall, based on business already booked, or potential programs in the pipeline, the outlook is positive. There apparently will be a key change - a reduction in the quantities per product ordered from the major retail players in favor or selecting more items with the same or similar.
