Inside the World of a Retail Merchandiser

🛍️ As a retail merchandiser, your primary goal is to maximize sales and increase volume for both the retailer and the manufacturer.

🤝 You will have the opportunity to build relationships with store management to ensure proper stock levels, appropriate merchandise display, and favorable shelf placement.

📋 Before entering the store, gather all necessary supplies, such as writing utensils, notepads, and printed survey questions provided by your supervisor.

💼 Arrive at the back stock area, sign in, and grab a cart or u-boat.

🔍 Locate the designated area for backstock, potentially requiring a ladder.

📸 Take before and after images at various locations to showcase the impact of merchandising.

🗑️ Ensure all trash is cleaned up both on the sales floor and in the back room.

⏰ Time management is crucial for retail merchandisers, as they must complete initiatives within a 45-minute time limit.

📝 After finishing tasks, retail merchandisers record the time they sign out with the receiver to track their progress.

🛍️ While some stores can be completed in less than 45 minutes, large stores often require the full time limit.
