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

They've at least gotten better since I joined Target. Used to be 2 or 3 weeks out. Now it's 4 to 10 days.

Not for me.

And they wonder why we have INF's.
They'll be asking for Halloween in 2 weeks.🤣
Just a thought, but I think the merchandise should not start flowing till mid week the week the pog's are due.

Last week on the Target app they were advertising Halloween. They said something like “Get celebrating Summerween!” And it showed you what’s to come for 2025. It was wild.

We received our first Halloween PJs last Friday.

The problem is mostly during BTS because so many of the key items are dually located. So when that crayola pallet comes in and gets trapped in the steel the system can still generate massive SFS orders for it because it has a tied location in Stationery. At least during the other seasonal sets the fulfillment logic waits for a sale, a POG tie, or the set week to end.

Not even halfway through BTS set and have people with a school list going through.

first day we set back to school 'ugh back to school already?' then I catch them shopping it. lol

Like lady you said something about it, but now I find you buying notebooks

So for those doing the Guided Pog Process, how were the pre-ties for seasonal? Spot-on? Had to make adjustments?

I only came across one Intended Location terribly wrong other than that I’m unsure as I didn’t pre-tie

Did they suggest the aisle numbers for you - or did you still have to think about them when it comes to seasonal? I know for us we try to use all of the numbers in the block between the two main aisles that stay. Hoping we can still do this instead of corporate suggesting the numbers that don't make sense.

Unfortunately I’m unable to answer that one. I know my TL had so sit down and map them out and we still ended up omitting and aisle for this set. So we go from F75 to backwall F77
