French term or phrase: la clarté de l'offre
This is from a fashion brand's in-house newsletter laying out the brand's objectives for the coming year.

One of these is: Améliorer la clarté de l'offre

The other two are:
- Augmenter le prix de vente
- Homogéneiser le parc de magasins

Thanks for any ideas!

agree  B D Finch: I agree that it is best to avoid using "offer" and, though "product range" initially seems to be an interpretation too far, it is hard to see what else is meant by "l'offre".
