Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How should sporting goods stores handle seasonal inventory in coverage planning?

Coverage should reflect peak inventory levels, not averages. Ski shops may have $500K more inventory in November than June. Ensure coverage matches maximum exposure.

Why is key person insurance important for specialty sporting goods stores?

Specialized fitting expertise (ski boots, bikes, golf clubs) builds customer loyalty and referrals. Losing an expert fitter can significantly impact sales and reputation.
