Wednesday 5/11 Plans

Good morning! Today we have a fairly larger delivery across our five stores. 

Gahanna 6 racks

Reynoldsburg 8 racks 

Lancaster 8 racks 

Grove city 12 racks 

Canal Winchester 12 racks 

First priority walking in - check for condensing. If a product is not utilitizing space well, we should replace it. For example, an end cap only holding three to four plants. We should move that and put on something new, fresh, with a high $$ amount. 

Watch your toss, and encourage sales. I don't expect you to make sales, but if a customer is asking for something, take them to that item and speak positively about it. 

Customer : do you have any begonias? 

Ideal response : yes we, come look over here. We have these which are 4.99 per 8 packs, or we have these pretty baskets over here, or we even have these gallon buckets. 

Finding and knowing the names of the plants is becoming ever important. If you don't know, try to ask someone close to you to help. 

Also, we need to be making sure that all of our interactions with Meijer employees are POSITIVE INTERACTIONS. We should be respectful, professional, and business minded when working with employees. Of course you make your buddies and then you can change your behavior a bit, but we do need to keep to these standards whenever possible. If they ask a question, try ro get an answer. If they make a suggestion, try to go with it. A lot of times they have a good idea of how things will sell at that store even if we don't. If you are unsure, call me. 😊

Lastly, it's game time right now. We need to be staying on task. Work your displays from highest priority to lowest priority and get the best and prettiest product on ideal locations and move the stuff that doesn't sell well. If you have items that aren't selling (been here a few weeks, big drop in sells), start to slowly wean them off the tables. Each visit, toss one that doesn't look good. If you'd like to do this, just shoot me a text and reference the item. I'd like to keep a check on what items are still in store.
