•We illustrate that parametric Bayesian updates based on observed sales data can be used effectively for demand learning.•We demonstrate that product assortment and prices need to be dynamically revised with demand learning.•We show it is profitable for retailers to give price reduction early in the sales season to accelerate demand learning.•We demonstrate that a retailer’s profitability can be improved by balancing exploration and exploitation of the market. |
