Speaker #3: We're also seeing a impact on the positive profitability of each customer that comes in the store . know , so we're we're You we're leveraging the traffic that we because it's going to do have take longer to get traffic to come back stronger with conversion .

Ian Bickley: And frankly, is the sort of positive experience that we're having in our brand channels right now, I believe, is primarily product-led. Okay. When you look at Outlet 2.0, in some ways, it's a great we visited two of them. And it's a great concept. It also, in some ways, provides for some consumers who have lost kind of their full-price store a way for them to still see and touch kind of full-price items. And I'm curious what's kind of been the response to consumers to seeing kind of full-price items in the Outlet 2.0 stores. And when you look at it, does that become a bridge given that a lot of there's been a lot of closures in the full-price stores? Yeah. No. Listen, great question.

And frankly, is the sort of positive experience that we're having in our brand channels right now, I believe, is primarily product-led.

Speaker #3: And we're also seeing that, the more time that these outlet and two-point stores have to work through sort of the new system, the better they're performing.

Eric Bader: Okay. When you look at Outlet 2.0, in some ways, it's a great we visited two of them. And it's a great concept. It also, in some ways, provides for some consumers who have lost kind of their full-price store a way for them to still see and touch kind of full-price items.

And when you look at it, does that become a bridge given that a lot of there's been a lot of closures in the full-price stores?

Speaker #3: And frankly, we're already seeing certain things in Outlet 2.0 that we feel we can take to other can stores without having to do the full sort of outlet.

Speaker #3: 2.0 , you know where where we can where we can get some . We wins also are planning to do more , follow , you know , ups visiting .

Speaker #3: We're going to be visiting a couple of the stores with the team next week . We're also planning to do some customer intercepts .

Ian Bickley: Yeah. No. Listen, great question.

Speaker #3: know , it's very much a a test . And learn to So , you your question specifically approach about full price product . seeing very know , we're encouraging reaction to customers on the limited assortment of , you know , heritage product and select IP that we put into these stores .

Ian Bickley: I'll first talk about Outlet 2.0, and then I think I'll talk more broadly about sort of distribution and how customers can access the full-price product and brand experience. Look, on Outlet 2.0, it's early days. We launched seven pilot stores this holiday season. I would say that the qualitative feedback that we're getting from our teams, as well as customers, has been very positive. Positive about sort of the overall store environment, positive that it's more brand-enhancing, positive about the customer journey in the stores with much clearer destinations and heroing of lifestyles and different products, stronger visual merchandising, also supported by in-store imagery.

Speaker #3: We think more potentially potential there . there's But you know , again , I think that's improving to the sorry , impacting sort of the impact we're having on you .

Speaker #3: profitability of each The customer . More broadly on sort of how customers can really access , you know , our brand proposition , you know , clearly Vibe.com is is today probably our most important vehicle .

Speaker #3: we're And really , you know continuing to customer , upgrade the experience . There to really , you know , represent the best of what Vera Bradley can be .

Speaker #3: And , you know , we we also , are you know , looking very carefully at our at our price overall full brand fleet .

Ian Bickley: And what we have seen, again, at a very, very high level, and recognizing it's early, is even with sort of the very strong focused assortment, editing of the assortment of SKUs, we've seen sort of performance in line with stores that have 35% more SKUs. We're also seeing a positive impact on the profitability of each customer that comes in the store.

Speaker #3: But we have to , you know , get more confident I think in the before we start making big commitments . business There .

Speaker #3: So we're in the meantime we're leveraging our outlet channel and also , you know , we are putting another big onto our focus wholesale accounts , especially our specialty accounts .

Speaker #3: I mean , those , you know , as I said in the the last first call , quarter , you know , it's it's it's specialty retail and wholesale that actually are the ones that helped to build Vera Bradley into , you know , a nationwide brand .

Speaker #3: And , you know , we still feel very strongly that with those strong relationships we have there , focused you know , we're which , on building , that they can continue to play a very , very important role in our transformation .

Speaker #5: Yeah . I agree . I also think there's somewhat of a lagging indicator . But we'll see . Final question actually one two questions here .

Speaker #5: One one on inventory . It was really impressive job reducing inventory . How should we be thinking about the opportunities I guess to capture capital and working get more productive going forward with the inventory .

Ian Bickley: We also are planning to do more follow-ups. We're going to be visiting a couple of the stores with the team next week. We're also planning to do some customer intercept. So it's very much a test-and-learn approach. To your question specifically about full-price product, we're seeing very encouraging reaction to customers on the limited assortment of heritage product and select IP that we put into these stores. We think there's potentially more potential there. But again, that's, I think, impacting sort of the impact we're having on the profitability of each customer.

Speaker #5: And you know how long of a journey how do you think it can be to go young ? Go . find that younger A little , customer ?

Speaker #5: a that's historically , That's it seems it takes a few years to start moving of average age down . I think that kind you .

Speaker #5: .

Speaker #3: Yeah . Great I'll let Marty handle the first part on the inventory and then maybe I can talk about sort of question . the , you know , your question about the younger customer .

Speaker #4: Thanks for the question , Erich . On inventory , we the definitely see opportunity improvement . There . And to our , you know , from a productivity standpoint .

Speaker #4: And think we we're on than track through planning our processes that and other activities where we're to kind of taking on move that into the than 2 to 3 range .

Speaker #4: You know , over the course of the next 12 to 18 months .

Ian Bickley: And we also are looking very carefully at our overall full-price brand fleet, but we have to get more confident, I think, in the business before we start making big commitments there. So in the meantime, we're leveraging our outlet channel. And also, we are putting another big focus onto our wholesale accounts, especially our specialty accounts. I mean, those, as I said in the first call last quarter, it's specialty retail and wholesale that actually are the ones that helped to build Vera Bradley into a nationwide brand.

Eric Bader: Yeah. I agree. I also think there's somewhat of a lagging indicator, but we'll see. Final question. I'd say two questions here.

Speaker #3: If you look at know the bag , you know , 100 we sort of where iconic have that quilt through lining , you know , the reversible tote , which were introducing for spring is really phenomenal .

Ian Bickley: One on inventory. You've done a really impressive job reducing inventory. How should we be thinking about the opportunities, I guess, to capture working capital and get more productive going forward with the inventory? And how long of a journey do you think it can be to go and find that younger customer? Historically, it seems it takes a few years to start moving that kind of average age down. Thank you. Yeah.

Ian Bickley: And today, our turns are less than two, but we have seen, we're starting to see the improvement in turns this quarter, and we think that we're on track through our planning processes and other activities we're taking on to kind of move that into the greater than two to three range over the course of the next 12 to 18 months. Great. And look, Eric, I think on the younger customer, you're right. It will take some time. And look, I think first and foremost, we have a significant opportunity in front of us, right, to reengage with our loyal customer who is still the biggest and most important part of our business. We have an opportunity to reengage them with the brand, bring back lapsed purchasers.

And today, our turns are less than two, but we have seen, we're starting to see the improvement in turns this quarter, and we think that we're on track through our planning processes and other activities we're taking on to kind of move that into the greater than two to three range over the course of the next 12 to 18 months.

Speaker #3: And , you know , a we way saw an with the hundred bag , right ? Which we weren't to have as much product as we wanted to have .

Speaker #3: We didn't have quite the right all able even focused that , you know , marketing . saw twice But the penetration of of Gen Z customers on that bag that we've we have across other products in the range .

Ian Bickley: Great. And look, Eric, I think on the younger customer, you're right. It will take some time.

And we saw in a limited way with the 100 bag, right, which we weren't able to have as much product as we wanted to have. We didn't have quite all the right focused marketing. But even that, we saw twice the penetration of Gen Z customers on that bag that we have across other products in the range. And that, for me, is super encouraging.
