Recommendations
• Reconsider inventory- unsuccessful departments such as
furniture, mattresses, and handbags would be the first to cut
out.
• Focus on growth of the successful merchandise to meet
customers needs.
• Connect Macys.com with Bloomingdales.com to give
customers the accessibility to visit both sites easily.
• Advertise online shopping more intensely to help potential
growth.
