At last, an effective Retail Inventory Control Solution that is easy to understand, use and keep on using. It's the simplest system to control your buying!

Did you go into business because you love accounting?
I doubt it. Retailers don't get into trouble because they over buy, they get into trouble because they don't know they've overbought.

Do you feel your inventory is accurate within $500?
If the answer is no Open To Buy will fail you. Watch this 4 minute video and I'll explain why.

Now, it takes less than a hour to plan your purchases for an entire year—and only 10 minutes to maintain. Now, there's an easier system that lets you buy what you want—with controls to tell you when you're buying too much.

“Open to Thrive” was designed as a simple to understand and use alternative to the more cumbersome open to buy and financial budgeting systems. Although open to buy systems work, much time and energy is needed for upkeep and maintenance. My belief is that smaller, independent retailers, who make their money either on the selling floor or by selecting the right merchandise, don’t have the time required to maintain a traditional open to buy system.

Even if you use a traditional open to buy system, my “Open To Thrive” solution will work in conjunction with it. It will serve as a back up and as a quick reference because the information can be retrieved more quickly than with any computer system. The reason why I am so passionate about it is because I have seen the success of retailers who use it. This system WORKS!

I provide this system in a number of ways ....

• Members of The Retailer's Advantage get access to both the system and manual system as
  part of Membership. They are currently available NOWHERE ELSE.
• And I just released the 2009 Update of the Electronic version of the Book in my store at
  RickSegel.com priced at $19.95
• Easy-listening audio program - currently only sold with the hard-cover book at $29.95

The Electronic System
Spreadsheet and User Guide

The Manual System

The EBook - $19.95 value
Just Updated for 2009!

Bonus Audio Program - currently available only with hard cover book ($29.95)

OPEN TO THRIVE Merchandise Control System and Sales Register easy-listen audio program discussing how to get the most out of the system.

In case you were wondering...YES, there is a catch.

You see, while I am willing to part with ALL of the components of  this effective Retail Inventory Control Solution for just $9.95, I'm not just gonna hand them out willy-nilly.

For starters, it took me years to perfect this simple to understand and use alternative to the more cumbersome open to buy and financial budgeting systems and I'm not about to undervalue the work.

So far only the members of The Retailer's Advantage have ever seen and benefited from the actual system which comes in the form of an Excel Spreadsheet with accompanying User Guide and also a manual paper-based version.

...but you're about to have full access to the exact same materials for JUST $9.95!

You get the exact tools, guides, audio guide and EBook that come with each product as sold in my store. Now, it will take less than a hour to plan your purchases for an entire year—and only 10 minutes to maintain. Now that's an easier system that lets you buy what you want—with controls to tell you when you're buying too much.

Why am I giving all the components of this amazing system for one low price?

Well if you like this tool you will love the other tools available at The Retailer's Advantage Membership Site. Tools like the Promotion Finder and a resource for newsletter articles (quotes and jokes) and even an Ask the Pro section where we guarantee a response within 24 hours.

The Retailer's Advantage also features:

• Weekly Live (online) Events which is comprised of interviews with people who can make a difference in the life of a retailer, monthly website review of 3 members, roundtable discussions with 3 members discussing pertinent issues (for example, returns and refunds), Q & A programs, and tech talk with Roland Lacey, our web guru. We are so committed to this event section that we even hired an event coordinator. We are planning on offering  between 1-2 events per week.
• How-To Articles, Audio and Video programs to help you improve your business - hundreds of them.
• A Community of Retailers sharing information with each other in a networking format that will bond colleagues who will become friends and then partners in success. Community which is probably the most important aspect of the site. Here we have opportunities for the members of The Retailers Advantage to network with each other. I believe that the best form of education is when retailers can share information with each other and we have a started a networking format that will bond colleagues who will become friends and then partners in success.

Well it gets even better ...

When you purchase this Open To Thrive Bundled Package you get a FREE 30 Day Trial to The Retailer's Advantage.

I think you will agree it is the ultimate retailer's treasure chest. And you get to try it out risk free when you purchase the Open To Thrive Special Bundle at just $9.95.

100% Risk-free for you!

If you don't find my Open To Thrive System the simplest system to control your buying or if for any other reason (or no reason), you decide The Retailer's Advantage isn’t right for you, just email us at any time within 30 Days, A FULL MONTH and we'll issue you a full refund.

Plus I’ll insist you keep The Open To Thrive System just for giving The Retailer's Advantage a fair evaluation.

This Guarantee is good for 30 days from today. That's A FULL MONTH to put us to the test, use the information, put it to work and stake your claim to success - all the risk is on me!

This offer may disappear at any moment ...

You see, membership in The Retailer's Advantage has been closed since September simply because we wanted to get lots of great content online and work with our Charter Members to create a valuable community for retailers. And this is the first time we have ever offered a "trial membership" offer. (Membership is available without this purchase by clicking here - but why not take advantage of the first month for just $9.95 and get The Open To Thrive Special Bundle too?) This is your best deal while it lasts!

I feel that NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME for a membership site like this. Attending seminars and trade shows is costly. You need 24-hour-access to a Business Partner/Problem Solver/Master Merchandiser/Promotions Pro/Sales Guru/Good Listener.

We hear you, retailers. That’s why all the expertise you need to stay afloat and even prosper in good times and bad is now only a mouse-click away.

Disclaimer Notice: The Retailers Advantage Membership site is currently open but we are limiting membership. So if I reach my membership limit before this promotion is complete it will be closed early without notice.
