Thursday April 11th Today I met with 2 different people and was able to learn and accomplish two of my goals. I first met with Jymme from the merchandising department. One of my goals was to learn how to present the collection of merchandise to a team. Cheryls is getting ready for the Fathers Day and Summer Merchandise Style Out. I was able to help be a part of getting this ready. The Style Out is a time for all employees from Cheryls to view the collection and become familiar with the products prior to selling them. It gives employees a chance to ask questions to the merchandise team about key items, taste new flavors, learn about the sale promotions, and see size and dimensions of the containers etc. I was able to pull samples of all the products that will be featured in these summer catalogs. We display them on cabinets in our merchandising area. Photos below. I also met with Annalisa who is the Senior Merchandise Planner. She is in charge of working on the assortment plan of items for a specific collection and putting projection forecast for units they plan to sell of each item. One of my goals was to learn how to put an assortment plan together. She showed me a Christmas assortment plan she is currently working on. She starts by looking at best sellers from last year and what items are necessary to sell again this year. She also leaves room for new products and “test” products as part of the assortment but projects those at a lower qty. The entire assortment plan totals up the sales plan that they are given from finance department. |
