Tuesday

Well, today started out with implementing images into a sample table for manufacturing. Then arranging our split orders to get to the head office to be sorted through from the warehouse. Getting that task sorted out was a nightmare...lol It took forever to get everything worked out. Once the warehouse had all my orders ready I booked a courier to pick them up and had the courier deliver the boxes of garments to the head office. I more than likely will be packing what I received from the warehouse and sending it to our international boutiques tomorrow. I then put together 100 press kits, 5 press banners, 10 show cards, and 350 look books together to send to our overseas agents to use to promote the brand. What I have definitely learned from this internship is to always follow up. Constantly checking that people are doing what they promise to do and that shipments are coming and going. As far as tracking shipments, making sure faxes and orders have been sent or arrived, phone calls are followed up etc. It seems like a never ending trail of follow up, especially with orders and samples coming from the manufacturers. I also worked with Bec (national sales) by putting together a run sheet for the style night that we are hosting tomorrow night at the Bondi store. The purpose is to show the national stockists how to style the garments, so they can use it as a selling tool to their customers. It will be from 5pm-9pm Wednesday. So a long day tomorrow about 7am-9pm:( But it will be fun and a great experience to be a part of!!!:) The style guide that Hannah and I created will be used as examples of the styling tips that will be demonstrated at the style night. It will be for the stockists to take home and help jog their memory of what was shown at the style night.
