Achievable - That which is known to sell well within a certain time frame. Realistic goals need to be set based upon past experience as well as marketing strategies as well as tailoring the products that will be sold depending on the population to which the product is marketed.
Realistic - Those items that you know will sell, given a realistic perspective based upon that which is known in the past to be successful at being marketed and sold. Basing your purchasing, marketing and selling on what you know that you can sell so that you don't over-purchase inventory based upon unrealistic goals.
Time-Bound - The marketing, selling and distribution of products that you know will only be marketable in a certain amount of time, perhaps for only a season or because of market trends as far as what people are most likely to purchase during a specific, given time frame.
Just some random thoughts... Might be okay, might not. Just thought that I would give it a shot.
What I posted might give you some helpful ideas, though. I hope that it does!
Thanks!
