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

[BKop16]

I just used a shelf with tall clear fencing (from stationary). Lower the capacity to 5 each. It's going to be mixed and overfilled but whatever. I could order it but it probably won't get here till Dec if I'm lucky

I saw someone used 12" peg hooks and cut a label strip holder hold them. Glad that an entire team who works on this for a year couldn't get it right. Wonder what it will look like post layoffs.

Is this the thread to say putting together the Cocoa cart was a challenge? It's assembled but not stocked yet. So many pieces! I've done a lot of POGs, including with things like electric toothbrush models, but this was a different kind of beast.

Have to say though, I really does look cute. Hope it stays looking nice for a little while.

Editing to add that the TM who stocked it couldn't figure out how to use the elevated contraption that was supposed to go in the middle of the top shelf. So she pitched it. 🙁 Whatever. I did my part.

Can someone post their mini sea. table or what it should look like? Our darn computer sucks at loading vmgs.

I wish Target made better attachments/brackets for the LED signing in seasonal. Mines already falling apart 🙁

I didn't find the new reinforced magnets until after the set. Hoping to swap them out this week to see if it makes a difference. Also, not holding my breath that it will. I'm getting tired of top-heavy ISM that is not battle-ready.

we already had the signage start to fail around the hole the magnet went into with that insert cardboard.Wouldn't be surprised if someone hit it causing it to do that.

I don't think they really thought this signage through.

I am not so sure Target HQ is thinking *anything* through.

Why did Target decide to put Black Friday SPL set week of the 23rd when it should be set the week before? If we hadn't looked at the BF audit tool we would have been screwed on Sunday

We set all of ours minus two toy ones due to low %’s - I also love how a lot of them were back endcaps

We've always had SPLs set the week of Black Friday. We used to have to set endcaps by Sunday for a 4-day Ad and then reset many of them for the Black Friday 2-day Ad. Was incredibly time consuming planning all of that out and having to fake tie the 4-day SPLs when they came down so that Set on Time was still green for the week.
