Weekly Directives

We ended the week -35%. OUCH. Overall the store was down 20% so not great business. Maybe it's the weather!? Either way, lets turn it around this week!

Successful classes: 152 hats +50%... that's it.

Opportunity classes: everything else.. haha. Mainly handbags/travel which is becoming the same class (151) -30%, 312 boots down -91% (damn you returns), 157 scarves down -57%.

DIRECTIVES:

• Big frame switches happened today. Now all the casual out stock shoes are near the bathroom upstairs. The socks came down into the shoe lounge. The second frame in the shoe lounge is now tights. The sun glasses will go where the belts are, under the mirror. The belts will then go where the tights used to be, behind the bras. 
• Move chain link bag from downstairs to an entry way table top. 
• Setting up sale for 30% off which is happening over the weekend. Re-vamp of sale, putting out fresh sale product, pulling all the sale jewelry together. 
• Shoe lounge audit, making sure all display shoes are out, cleaning the SL, making sure everything has a lanyard tag. 

Now that inventory and holiday is over we really need to observe our floor placement and how much of everything we're putting out. Needless to say, WACC had the biggest shrink. We need to be hyper aware of our jewelry quantities. We also need to make sure we're processing all our boxed shoes with lanyard tags, along with every display shoe. 

TUESDAY : I was unable to finish my frame switches. I got through almost everything except the belts/sunglasses. I would start with the sunnies. I left them in the FR (I apologize, I ended up leaving a hour late because I was on the phone with IT.. it took forever..) Like I said, most of the sunnies in quantity are bagged. All the piecey ones are in that box. I asked Charley to have Jael start on the sunglasses, so I'm not sure what she did or did not get to but I guess you'll see that when you come in. Please pull fresh sunnies from backstock to replen the peg wall. The tights downstairs I didn't want to move off the frame because I realized I would not have time to finish (it was 5:30.. and I hadn't even done trash, then IT called a few mins later).

Friday Abby and I are invisible to work in backstock all day. I'm super excited. I'm going to come up with a game plan for organization back there to make processing/filling easier. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

thanks!!
