thrift-industry-analysis-may-2017

A new record was crossed for the average customer transaction in May. The amount of $15.96 continues the assent of this particular metric. Four of the first five months of 2017 have recorded a new milestone.

Retail Analysis

Retail sales increased over April. Average sales by location were back above $50,000. The increase was largely due to the growth in the average customer transaction of $15.96.

Production Analysis

Production also bounced back from April’s results. The number of units produced increased by more than 3% to 23,660. The additional production resulted in a greater than 4% increase in units sold. Moreover, the average price per piece remained above $4.00 and increased slightly to $4.10.

Conclusions

May proved to be the bounce-back month. The average increase in sales of $2,500 was due to the combination of two factors. Increased production at a higher price per piece made for a powerful one-two punch. In addition, the higher sell-through rate further helped juice these numbers.
