MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

[Retail Girl]

On another note, has anyone else received communication to remove all sign stanchions and the Starbucks banner from the entrance area? We were told it was a corp decision, but I think it's just our DTL being picky.

We received the same communication.

New signing strategy coming up in softlines!! I wish I could say more at the moment, we'll have to wait and see how it goes!

There was a grid that stated what should be placed where for each week regarding the front of store stanchions. My STL sent it to me.

Also, anybody do the Pinterest flags?

One comment - utter fail.

Monday, I checked if the December 18th Merchandise Update had posted for the pinterest list, but all I could find was November 11th.

Did it post today?

It did. It wasn't available on Monday, but it was available as of Tuesday. The link in the email is broken (it was for me), so you have to go to the Merchandise Update on workbench and click on the link from there.

The ones at my store were put up recently. We're out of stock on many of the things with those flags. Winning!!

[Hardlinesmaster]

No shirts here, as of yet. Gtc's to my super signing on the flags. We are empty on a lot of items too.

3 shirts came in the box with the Line Stanchions. Those go right to the APetl.

At least 2 pages of the Pinterest list was for items we didn't carry. If we were just temp out of product, I still put up the flag.


Built all the black Friday bins today. 3 people, 2 hours to build. Found it was really fast to open ALL the boxes, sort the parts out, then build in assembly line fashion.

 

[Rosquo]

We got 1 medium, 1 large and one xl shirt. I imagined more of them when I saw them on the monthly signing report

 

[metaldoggy]

We got three bags of t-shirts but there were two t-shirts in each bag so a total of 6 t-shirts. They were in the stanchions box.

 

[DoubleGreen]

We got 6 shirts in our box of stanchions. I got those and all of the bins finished on Wednesday night.

 

[Snookie]

What were the shirts for, exactly? We got ours, but I have no idea what they were meant for.

The people managing the line.

 

[Snookie]

Indoors or outdoors? Because I think our normal red and khaki stood out more indoors when we were wrangling the line around aisles in A...I would have rather have had a balloon or lightweight sign we could tote around. The other girl who was managing the line and I just about lost our voices over three hours worth of time.

 

[kangkang]

how many bin clusters you guys keeping?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

how many bin clusters you guys keeping?

We only kept 3 bins & all the corners.

 

[kangkang]

question again. whose responsible for header pricepoints in incaps and the shippers that scattered all over the store right now?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

My signing person was off on Sunday. So I did remove all the bf signing on all the end caps in the store. Then, I did the shippers in mmb. My etl-hl did the bins. My electronics person push movies & video games to home locations & flexed in certain areas, back stocked the remaining. I did the furniture focals, because the Nolan stuff was on sale. It's a team effort to get the store back to normal.

 

[TargetOldTimer]

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Christmas signing is down. Time to rebuild the store!

I need a vacation.

If it's like previous years, you drop them in the compacter.
