The ongoing trade conflict initiated in early 2025 between the United States and Canada, characterized by reciprocal tariffs of 25%, has significantly disrupted business operations and profitability, notably impacting OMIS Store's financial performance. These tariffs have introduced substantial challenges, including increased product costs, strained supply chains, and reduced profitability for products heavily reliant on cross-border trade. OMIS Store, with significant exposure in these markets, must swiftly adapt by identifying and leveraging alternative growth opportunities and mitigating negative impacts.
In this presentation, we will clearly demonstrate how OMIS Store has been affected by the trade war, particularly focusing on reduced sales trends, profitability erosion in key product categories, operational inefficiencies, and the identification of promising international markets unaffected by these tariffs. Through straightforward, easy-to-understand Tableau visualizations, we will provide OMIS Store executives with clear insights and actionable recommendations to strategically adapt, reduce costs, and capitalize on emerging market opportunities.
