This week Jo (another intern) showed me how to do clippings. All articles, stories and coverage on New Look will be sorted into different sections which are: Irish coverage, Mentions, Womenswear, Womenswear mixed, Accessories and Footwear, Accessories, Menswear, 915 and Idol. They would then get separated into sections as well as by date, all the Dec 10 and Jan 11 was put together. All the DEC 10 clippings will get sent off. This will all be marked and tallied. If coverage was low at any point we could then argue that maybe there was not enough samples or the right samples was not sent out or too much time was being spent on other stuff. New Look would then have to back up the answer to the questions with reasons as to why.
Returns to store piles up A LOT
A mountain of returns. There has been times when there has been twice as much returns and times when there has been hardly anything.
Returns on a daily basis. Sometimes 2-4 times per day. Sitting at a computer typing in returns and putting it in the correct excel spreadsheet then placing them in the correct totes can be very tiring and boring. You may get back samples which will be booked in through Fashionsoft and returned to the showroom.
Lets hope next week there will be less returns. x x x
