Retail Smart Guys’ Post

Estee Lauder is one of the most famous cosmetic and beauty brand in the world, and it all started with one woman who took actionable steps to achieve her goals. Dreams can only go so far. Eventually, you have to take that all-important first step. When you do, make sure you give it your best effort because that will make all the difference in the long run. Building and running your own business isn't easy, but it won't always feel like work if there is passion behind your goals. And when you are working for yourself, it's you who will be directly reaping your efforts' benefits. #retailsmartguys #retail #retailadvice #retailconsulting #retailsales #retailInventory #managementone #retailorbit #retailstore #retailsolutions #retailservices #mondaymotivation

Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be... If your brand were a celebrity who would it be? The old ‘describe your brand in three words’ method can get tired quickly. It can be more helpful to think of your values in terms or personal attributes. And more fun to pick which famous person embodies those qualities.  Of course big brands get to collaborate with famous faces who personify their brand – Clooney and Nespresso, Beyoncé and Balmain, er, Bacon and EE. But that doesn’t mean you can’t choose a ‘face’ for your business.  Are you the Meryl Streep of brands? Pure quality and class with enduring appeal? Like Tiffany & Co? Or Tom Hanks, the Coca-Cola of celebs: relatable, classic and universal. Or Ru Paul, perhaps – bold, confident and trailblazing, like MAC cosmetics. Maybe your brand is like Ricky Gervais, provocative with a wicked humour – how has he never worked with Marmite? Giving your brand a face can help you better understand your competitive strengths and make your business more human.  You might even nab that collab for real one day.

You have been given a target to achieve. And then? What do you do? --------- It is important to take these in consideration: ↳ If there are any events in your remit during that month, what it is the turnover you forecast during those events? ↳ Are any new products brought in for those events that can create a waiting list? ↳ Are any relevant appointments with your regulars and VIP clients been set up already? What is your forecast revenue for each clients? ↳ Are any collection pieces pre-ordered for specific clients that are due to be delivered in a specific month? What is the takings from those pieces? ↳ Do you have any special orders made for clients? When are those orders delivered? ↳ Are any city events that will bring more traffic to your remit that you can forecast the need of best sellers replenished on time, ↳ Any launch of a new product which is also heavily marketed on social media? ↳ A new capsule collection launched? How many clients do you have on your waiting list for specific peaces requested? ↳ Are there any orders from tailoring made for VIP clients? ------- Don't just focus on the grand total. Focus on the how by planning ahead. ------- I worked in the retail fashion industry for over 25 years for some of the most interesting and leading fashion brands: MIU MIU, Prada, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana, Casadei. During those years I evolved my leadership skills and led the organisations to success. I don't claim to know it all, but I know I can contribute to the success of your remit. ------- #careers #coaching #retail #consultancy
