To accurately report sales within UQ Cadence, products need to be categorized in commonly accepted industry terms. You will find different levels of categorization depending on the product's Primary Category. This article discusses Socks.
This category includes socks that may have additional features and benefits to the customer, for example compressive or padded sections to ease the pain of plantar fasciitis or bunions. However, if the primary function of a sock is to provide compression or bracing, those products will appear in UQ Cadence reports within the primary category of Injury Prevention/Recovery.
Information regarding other Primary Categories can be found here:
- Footwear Categorization
- Apparel Categorization
- Injury Prevention & Recovery Categorization
- Other Product Categorization
