generally as your stock turnover increases so does your gross profit margin so this question does not make a lot of sense. To improve STO you could a) decrease average level of stock b) increase your cost of goods sold by having more sales. The problem is a) has no direct effect on GPR and b) has the opposite effect from what we want.

The only scenario I can think of is that you source a cheaper supplier or a lower cost per unit of stock. This will improve your GPR. If you also manage to stimulate enough sales so as to offset the lower cost price per unit, you might be able to increase dollar value the cost of goods sold enough to lower Stock turnover. Note that in reality people dont do this.

explain how the business could improve the STO. also explain how this strategy could improve the GPR. any ideas?

This question doesn't make much sense as outlined above. However, I can sort of see at where its heading... I guess.
Before I say anything, I doubt this question could ever come up, because STO has no direct impact on GPR.

The business can improve STO by extra advertising and promoting its stock. In doing this, the stock would be in higher demand and hence would be liquidated more quickly. As a result of this increased demand, the business may elect to increase the average mark-up of stock, which would cause a subsequent increase in GPR.

I hope that is right
