What should you do first?
-
Choose the merchant decision.

-
Test the job in a real situation.
Test the sweater layering job against the casual outings situation before fixing the product-page lead.
-
Research the audience context.
Research the explicit women audience context without treating the label as observed buying behavior.
-
Keep season claims bounded.
Use season associations as merchandising hypotheses and keep them separate from forecasts or sales claims.
