The answer is…not a chance. Particularly for a retail Store Manager.
I’m pretty adept at using much of the new technology that’s available today. Couldn’t live without my BlackBerry (I know, I know some of you think an iPhone would be a better choice). I love my huge computer monitor, my big laptop, my tiny laptop, my highly sophisticated digital camera, my iPad and my Wii. It’s all great stuff!
But nothing beats paper when it comes to organizing your day, week, month and year when you work in a store environment; or when you need to be able to see a bunch of things all at the same time and when you need to refer to different pages…going back and forth constantly; when you need to take notes during an interview and the list goes on. You can see what I mean here (and don’t miss the $10 off coupon code: ORG3612): http://www.dmsretail.com/dmsretailer.htm
Hand held electronic organizers have their place in the world, no doubt. And everybody loves gadgets. But they’re just not the best tool to meet a Store Manager’s needs. When it comes to practical everyday use, they’re not that great. We’ve interviewed a lot of people – many Store Manager’s included – about their preferences and…paper wins! Suffice to say, paper is better for retail Store Managers.
Here are some things (27 things, actually) a busy Store Manager might want to note in their Organizer/Planner:
3 year sales history, other store data like square footage, gross margin achievement, $ per square foot, employee requests for time off, scheduling notes, employee roster with hire date, review date and a coded hourly rate so you can do a schedule without carrying all kinds of reports and binders around,employee contact information, emergency contact information, supplies required, shipment dates and details of short shipments and damaged boxes, merchandise reviews – what’s hot and what’s not – for use when giving feedback to buyers and allocators, daily weather conditions, top performers and their KPI’s, payroll hours and wage cost tracking, store conversion rate, average sale, gross margin per square foot, issues with non-performers, appointments – both business and personal, marketing promotions, sales targets, sales achievements, repairs and maintenance to-do’s and who to call for what, information regarding potential candidates, interview outcomes and references, motivational quotes. And, of course, you always need some empty space for stuff that we didn’t assign space to…like doodling (we all do it), jokes, other to-do’s.
