Moonday

Hey guys and gals. Happy Monday. We started last week a bit rocky but I'm happy to announce that we ended on a great note, up 24 percent! Yay! Some 'lost cause' classes jumped back after a while in the underworld and others that have really been carrying our department for the last month or so failed us this week. So in a speedy recap of our weeks numbers.....drum roll please...... On the winning team; athletic up 2,941%, casual up 113%, handbags and wallets up 113%, necklaces up 108% and earrings up 61%. Unfortunately every winner is accompanied by a 'loser' and we had a disappointing week with some other classes. Ghastly, boots were down 949%, travel was down 92%, belts were down 60%, GLOVES were down 22% and scarves were down 12%. And while intimates were on the whole down 29 we did very well in bras and panties; panties were up 349 and bras were up 25. So that's last week's break down.

This morning we got replen in the oversized envelope bag that we got back in last week, smaller sixes of the Nike wedged sneaker that only came in 8's, 9's, and a ten last week, and lace scalloped bras in four colors. Everything got put away and out onto the floor except for the bras. I will have to figure out how to get more bras onto the floor tomorrow. I filled scarves and some hats this morning and started filling socks. I  began the process of ridding back stock of the mess. There were some TOMS in a random bin, I placed those on the pegs. I filled sale with the sale TOMS because sale had been wiped clean from this weekend's shopping. I was able to find room to bs the Nike wedges that came in last week along with the ones that came in today and Janine reorganized the shoe bays to make room for the KB wedged Mary Janes that came in last week as well. My last two hours were spent at the cash wrap.

REMINDER: So we spoke about closing out WACC at the store meeting on Sunday, and Leslie I did read your post, but let me say again that WACC is our responsibility. The shoe lounge a-frames needed to get more attention last night and the holds should be pulled EVERY night. This way, they don't get overwhelming and daunting. I pulled holds from December 3rd! Not cool, that's 7 days worth of holds! Shipment has been light for the past few weeks and our department's organization is coming together so for the next 3 weeks we will be heavily focusing on 1. customer service 2. keeping our floor filled and 3. customer service. Lets pull in the reigns team!

kk. that's all for tonight.

Duces!
