pog

As a Presentation TM, I've always had a weirdly hard time explaining exactly what my job is to people outside of Target, and even to new hires at Target. That Target has its own jargon for common retail terms doesn't help, and that my retail experience is almost exclusive to Target helps even...

I have a presentation schedule (BR and PUR) but I don't know what BR and PUR are. appreciate it if someone could tell me if they know.

Who is actually responsible to do the pulls for a POG? Twice in the past week I had a whole bunch of OOS and Pulls drop into my batches. The first time my TL pulled then and there were about a dozen DCPI that were also OOS. It happened again yesterday but there were about 20 OOS and 150...

These always seem to be stuck discontinued for the longest time every year. Planning on just either marking them down to the lowest % or just defecting them out.

The last two revisions of our mini table in Beauty, it's a pog for a focal instead of a mini table, with no explanation. I tried to chatbot it this time. Did I miss some kind of communication?? We're an Ulta store and Target always seems terribly confused about what pogs we will and won't have...

Do POGs automatically tie by the date in the system whether or not a TM ties it? I have noticed lately that I get all these pulls all of sudden for a POG that drops in the system along with a bunch of OOS. I also noticed sometimes the POGs are tied BEFORE the merchandise comes in so the POG...

This is a thread for the best "I told you so" moment at work. You don't have to have actually said the words, knowing it works just as well. In my case it was a lighting display planogram. It showed all the lamps I had to build neatly lined up. The planogram didn't look right to me but the...

Hey guys, I’ll be finally be scheduled to work at the new store I’ll be working at, and we don’t open till April. I’ll be working there for 2 days next week then gonna be there all week the week after. I’m assuming planorama takes only a couple days not an entire month? What do we do after we...

Never set a Beauty transition before. Started last week with 1 and 2 foot pogs. Last night, did Nail Care. It was a beast. What are your tips and tricks for a first timer? Initially I had some trouble understanding the fixtures, since they are unique to beauty, but once I put them together...

What products have you noticed that are complete fails of Design, either by lack of function or unintended messaging or extreme breakability? I'll start. I have not seen a single one of these deer that is not broken

Is any other store showing multiple revisions for 0 hours yet there are definitely changes?

Anyone else having issues when you pre-tie on time for a transition but the freight coming in only shows either the old location or no location at all. What gives? We are getting toys this week and its more work trying to sort them on pallets. No box have the pre- tie locations on them. It's...

The other day a fellow TM (who used be a TL which is weird) set a POG that dropped over 80 items in OOS. Naturally he left it for me to pull because my TL said "he didn't have time to pull it". This is just lazy on his part and told my TL if it happens again I am going to not pull it. This...

Hey Team! Been working through the loose ends of the Baby Transition. Over the years its become more evident that the baby displays need to be secured. For our inline displays we used zip ties which work great, however as a older store with the Hitching Posts for Travel Systems, im trying to...

Maybe it's just the first few POGs I've done with the Personal Care transitions & revisions, but the label strips seem to be a lot better in that the product spacing is more realistic. Product is fitting very nicely, with the indicated number of facings. And just getting label strips is great...

Some, not all, of our seasonal pogs, sprinkler and hoses for example, have a new set for 2/12, but the pog number is invalid. Anyone else having this issue? It wouldn't be such an issue except that the footages change.

Looking ahead to try and figure out a good time for taking some time off, I was checking into when my end caps expire and when aisles come up for revision or transition. OTC end caps were last set December 18 (or thereabouts) and expire February 5 and the aisles are mostly due the week of March...

Sorta hoping there's someone lurking here who has influence on how POGs are designed. Doing the Allergy transition a few weeks ago got me thinking about it - why do I need to have 10 facings (that's right, 10) of the same medicine, same size package? And that's for the Up & Up equivalents to...

where can I see photos and names of the fixtures (accessories) that are used for the planograms?

After working on so many POGs just lately and noticing how goofy they can be, I'm wondering how they're figured out. OTC uses a lot of those self-pusher contraptions and when I was setting yesterday, I had a couple of places in one POG were I set three facings instead of the two indicated on the...
