On Friday we visited Southpark Mall again at 9:00 a.m. We knew that the merchandise would be cleared out a bit because of the Friends and Family Sale so we began replenishing items. We were able to put out a lot of back stock. Afterwards, Tony worked on rearranging the clearance while Collin and I reset the Havana table. We added a leather Ottoman and suitcases and worked on folding the knits with two pieces of folding paper. After folding the table to perfection, we helped Tony move sale hand knit sweaters to the clearance rounder. Tony assigned me to arrange Havana dress shirts in a waterfall formation on a circle table slightly behind the Havana display. I used the dress shirts from back stock for the fixture and made sure to use the standard in sizing (one XXL, two XL, two L, two M, and one S). After hanging up more sale wovens, Collin and I headed to lunch. After eating, we started redressing mannequins in order to more visually represent a display. After everything was set correctly, Tony took Collin and I around the men's department at Belk and asked us to tell him what we think of when we see particular brands. We continued on to other stores in the mall, looking at window displays and acknowledging what the store's target market is. As we ended back at Belk we briefly discussed the placement of registers in a store and how certain positions can have a negative or positive effective on either the store or its customers.
