The purpose of this game is to introduce you to the benefits of using a power tool to make markdown decisions. The power tool employs merchandise markdown analysis and optimization to generate higher gross margin, better sell-thru, and a bigger bonus from your markdown decisions.

You will have two rounds to beat buyer superstar Max Margin.

Round 1: You will be presented with 5 items, for which you will make markdown decisions over a 15-week selling season.

Round 2: You will adjust all 15-weeks of markdown decisions, one item at a time, to improve your gross margin percentage.
