A more effective strategy for a limited inventory is specialization. By focusing on a specific niche—for example, fuel-efficient sedans for commuters or utility vehicles for contractors—the manager increases the velocity of sales. The goal is to turn the inventory over rapidly. In inventory management, "turns" (how many times inventory is sold and replaced in a period) are a key metric. High turns indicate a healthy, liquid business; low turns indicate a business that is choking on its own assets. Often, these numbers correlate to July 1st (7/1)

However, this scattershot approach often leads to slow movers sitting alongside fast movers.
