Meet Adam Amornyard, Senior Director of Global Merchandising. See what "Come As You Are" means to Adam. "To me, 'Come As You Are' embodies authenticity and inclusivity, values that are central not just to Crocs as a brand, but also to my approach in my role. It encourages individuals to embrace their true selves without the pressure to conform. In my work, this motto inspires me to foster a culture where creativity and diverse perspectives are celebrated. I believe that by allowing people to bring their unique ideas and backgrounds to the table, we can drive innovation and connect more deeply with our customers. This philosophy is especially important in merchandising, where understanding different consumer needs and preferences can lead to more relevant and engaging product offerings. Moreover, it aligns with my passion for mentoring the next generation of merchandising leaders. I strive to create an environment where emerging talent feels empowered to express their ideas freely, knowing that their contributions are valued. Ultimately, 'Come As You Are' reflects my belief that when people feel accepted, they can achieve incredible things together." #EmployeeSpotlight #ComeAsYouAre #Merchandising #CrocsInc #Culture

“We’re making such a bet on Asia due to the opportunity,” Michelle Gass, president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. told Inside Retail Asia in a media roundtable in Bangkok. Gass, who took on the CEO role in January, said the company’s three key areas of growth for this market are new stores, same-store sales and e-commerce. Levi’s plans to significantly increase its store number globally over the next five years while growing same-store sales in its existing stores. Nuholt Huisamen, MD for East Asia Pacific at Levi Strauss & Co, explained that the company has taken a new approach in the region, shifting to an ‘owned and operated’ strategy, rather than working with local partners.

Musings from Dennis #152. Shopfloor learnings. No matter what we read from the books or strategies we develop for our retail marketing and licensing plans, nothing beats going down to the shopfloor to see what is really happening. My Aussie colleagues call it Retailing but here in Singapore we use the term Retail Checks. They mean the same. Hours are spent walking down the aisles or visiting the shops or stores - looking at our own IP product presence, how the pricing competes with the competition, how much shelf space does our brand occupy vs the others; how our quality compares with others in the market and the value it delivers; are our licensees bringing to shelf approved product at the sampling stage (sometimes licensees cheat). How is our visual merchandising doing and how are other brands presenting themselves, what trends do we spot. Does the product pricing tally with the store positioning? (I once observed customers making purchases of products under $20 when the buyer insisted we bring in those lovely Disney Princess dresses to retail at $80 to create a brand positioning for them but not meeting customer demographic needs - thus not surprisingly the licensee was unjustifiably delisted months later due to poor sales because of the wrong customer base there). It is time consuming and takes a lot of brain energy but the learning curve goes up really fast. I always recommend executives to carve in retail checks into their busy schedules, say on Fridays during lunch with an extra hour or so to walk the ground - and see what is out there.

I just completed lululemon's Merchandising on Forage: * Completed a job simulation where I assisted the lululemon merchandising team in planning for inventory of lululemon's shorts capsule.  * Created a pivot table to display $ and units of lululemon Shorts shipped across the globe and in key regions. Summarized these findings to assist with inventory management and financial planning. * Created a line sheet for the Spring 2022 shorts capsule at lululemon and summarized the SKU count for all channels. * Checked sales from the previous day and compared metrics against prior sales and calculated full-price sell-through to assist with real-time decisions to appropriately manage lululemon's inventory. * Evaluated lululemon's two major competitors’ product-type business strategies by analyzing each brand, ranking their product categories and reviewing the assortment, color stories, marketing, and promotions they offer. I then summarized my findings for my manager. Check out the simulation here: https://lnkd.in/gn8nYfXy
