Agree about re-doing pegged parts of sets when ISM finally arrives. That's why I haven't done either of the shave POGs yet, assuming that at least some of it will have new something or other.
This is why it's worth it when I take a few minutes to straighten up my clearance shelves. When it's left a mess, no one wants to hunt through what's there. But when it's kept sort of neat, it sells down better. That said, I'm glad I'm not in Style. Hard enough with GM merch.
Those are ulta fixtures. We received a box as well and do not know why.
Every single backer paper in men’s and women’s shave change.. it was fun having to demerch the entire POG just to fully change the paper and overhead signs. We are also missing trays in women’s shave resulting in product not fitting correctly because it’s meant to be a floating shelf that did not materialize.
DId those 2nd shelf calls for that pouf bin? or did you improvise?
Same. We don't wrap the manual razors, but most the refill cartridges are put in different kinds of cases. Such a pain.
And this is why I leave both the shave POGs until near the end. They're both reverse sets and that gets tricky with the ISM. Some sections end up being set standard anyway. Looks like you have a different kind of self-pusher for the shelf of razors above the basket shelf. We use the black ones with the higher front and the razors are always popping out the back.
We have a lot of TMs who are cross-trained for truck and price change and POG. The DBO model worked really well for my store and even though it's gone, there are a lot of us who learned how to do all that. So the TLs who write the schedule might schedule a TM for an extra shift (we have only 3 or 4 trucks a week now, although they're huge) if there's an overwhelming load of PC or POGs.
But are the bins on pog now? Last I checked it was tall pushers called for there
Our store improvised since the pushers didn’t withstand against our inbound team who would just shove the shavers in, breaking the pusher and making them go haywire.
They are not. We put them there anyway
That makes sense. our store never successfully created DBOs OR any that we did create left long ago or promoted away.
I like the idea, might steal it
A lot of stores got ahead weeks ago when the workload was light. We set sports a week early. Got into cosmetics early, done by Tuesday. Set and pushed mini Wednesday/Thursday and set personal care Friday and a little Saturday.
We got into Sports early as well. But we weren't allowed to set Mini before Valentine's Day ( you said Wednesday/Thursday which were the 12/13th). So we set CB2/mini immediately after valentine's. When set workload has been light, we've stayed plenty busy with pricing and inventory auditing. I should mention we're part of a pilot for sales floor accuracy. Maybe that has been a factor.
This is how we do it at my store too (although I can't say what was started when). As soon as they drop in and we have the label strips, POGs are being worked. Especially like it when the POG can be set before the new product arrives so there's no shuffling it up into the steel or sitting on a pallet taking up space in the back.
