I like, I like! Good job Anni.I The blog looks great! So Anni already knows but I had some difficulty getting into my house yesterday. I didn't get in till after 11 and blogging was the last thing on my mind. So I'm going to try and recap what happened yesterday but I'm struggling just to remember today, so bear with me. Yesterday we got the most shipment I've seen in a while. We got about 8 boxes of boxed shoes, the double zip Ecote boot and the BDG platform sneakers. To be honest that's all I can remember, SORRY. But, I got you guys on today. We got replen in the printed cotton panties, some random onesie lace bras and panties, a new color in TOMS, an e.l.f. eyeshadow kit that comes in two color palettes, replen in some knee high socks and a couple more of the acid wash back packs we got in on Monday. As usual the first couple hours were spent processing, back stocking and placing shipment. Yesterday Cedric introduced me to the proclarity report. It is a report that compares the sales for each department and their classes from day to day each week in comparison to the year before. This morning he printed it out for me so that I could see which classes were contributing to us being down 9% so far. The numbers indicated that we were drastically down in gloves, scarves, socks, sunglasses and boots. So I committed my day to filling and placement in the hopes of improving numbers. I began with socks. I went back to last weeks numbers and the velocity report and pulled all the velocity socks to the a frame and filled them as much as possible. Once that was done I moved on to integrating scarves back into the noticeable spots on the floor. For the most part our scarves were on the backs of vignettes. So I got some onto tables and those that were on velocity that we didn't sell much of last week I pulled from hiding in back stock and on the floor into accessible places. In the process I also pulled small sale items like socks and hair accessories into sale in preparation for the 20% flash sale. Tomorrow I am going to focus on gloves. They need to be reorganized and though we originally turned the a frame around to showcase the most popular gloves, Andy suggested that we make sure the side with the '2 for 20" texting gloves is facing the front of the store. So I have to fill but also move the gloves so that the gloves with the buttons and the striped ones like them are on the same side as the texting gloves. This is the plan for tomorrow. I hope the sale goes well tonight. Good luck to those of you working tonight. Till tomorrow.
P.S. Nandi and I were talking about sunglasses being down and we're pretty sure it has to do with the fact that we have a limited number hidden downstairs on the men's a-frame. I will talk to Anni and/or Morgin about this tomorrow.
Good Night
