Monday 6/20/2011

Meredith and I arrived at 8:00 a.m. expecting to get right to work on the vast majority of mark-ups that had to be done, only to find upon arrival that Avanel had already done them all on sunday. Tony then had Meredith and I go do the mark-ups in the Big & Tall section. Meredith and I started out scanning everything to make sure all the price points were together and in the right place. We quickly discovered that there were many different price points, and very randomly selected merchandise in each price point. Tony instructed us to mark everything with it's new price and then to set the Big & Tall shop with the knowledge we had learned so far, which was very good practice and was exciting because it was the first time we had been making placement decisions on our own. We started out making sure all of the 40% sale merchandise and 50% sale merchandise was all together. It was difficult at first to make everything fit but we finally got everything together. We then made sure all the full price merchandise was together and presented very well. After we went over to sportswear and helped set a couple fixtures and helped customers.
