Merchandising & Ecommerce Leader | Brand Builder | Retail Buyer | Merchant | Category Manager | Plus Size Fashion Advocate | Sports Enthusiast
True merchants make excellent leaders! 1. They understand the importance of internal and external relationship building and nurturing. 🟢As a merchant, you are the cross functional leader of your "pod." You are the expert in merchandising, but you need to be able to strategize with your planning partners, translate your plans into actionable line plans for your sourcing and design partners, communicate your grow/maintain/decline to visual merchant and ecomm ops partners, etc... As a merchant, you are responsible for developing mutually beneficial strategies with your manufacturers to pass along the best intrinsic and cost-savings value to the customer. You need to understand the components of the products, factory ins and outs, and the logistics of getting the finished product from overseas to your DC. 2. Merchants understand the value of a dollar. 🟢As a merchant, you are responsible for the P&L or OTB of your category; constantly performing SWOT assessments. How can you do more with less? How can you get more of what's working and get out of what's not working? How can you work with manufacturers to adjust a product already in production? You understand that selling out of a trend product (in some cases) is better than the potential missed opportunity. 3. Merchants strategize with the best of 'em and understand when it's necessary to deviate. 🟢You are forever living in three time periods at once - hindsighting the past, working on the current assortment, and planning for next season. You are balancing between your good-better-best pricing and your core-fashion-trend buckets. You understand your strategy, but use real time data to pivot, if necessary. 4. Merchants understand their customers. 🟢You get to intimately know who's shopping you thru quantitative data (product/category selling) and thru qualitative experiences. Experts at analyzing a data set, but thoughtful enough to validate "in the wild." Shop the stores, shop the website, talk to associates, talk to customers, and follow the same celebrities and influencers customers follow. 5. Merchants understand the market. 🟢You understand what the competition is doing, what they are good at and what their weaknesses are. You also understand world events and how they may impact your job of getting the right product, at the right time, at the right price and in the right place for the customer. 6. Merchants understand the value of developing the next generation of talent. 🟢A true merchant understands the need to pay it forward. A true merchant has had great mentors and wants to be that for the next generation. Quite frankly, being able to train and motivate a merchant team makes the merchant look better in the long run. This means that the ship keeps sailing on vacation. This means that you can take the meeting with planning because your team is handling the ecomm ops meeting taking place at the same time. True merchants make excellent leaders! #merchants #retail #strategy
It's been an uphill climb for Abercrombie & Fitch Co -- they seemed bogged down for quite a while, a recovery from the Mike Jeffries era (someone who unfortunately is once again in the news). It looks like fiscal discipline and good inventory management are helping them make real inroads -- but I notice that both Wm Blair and S&P Global Ratings analysts mentioned strong merchandising. It does seem like a steady line up since their former chief merchant took over as CEO. More here:
The turnaround of Abercrombie & Fitch is finally here
