Paul Fredrick’s Post

6 weeks in – what I’ve learnt 6 weeks ago I left my busy Leeds Head Office job and set up JKC – my merchandise planning and consulting business. 6 weeks in here are a few things I’ve learnt.   #  The Linkedin community are a really encouraging and supportive bunch. I’ve had calls with strangers who have generously given me their valuable time to offer advice and encouragement   # Most good ideas come when you are not at your desk. Getting out and about every day is not only good for your wellbeing but also for your business.   #  Many people don’t know what merchandise planning is – “not quite, that’s visual merchandising – more to do with planning and analysis”.   # Explaining the relevance and benefits of retail merchandising to those who have never worked with a merchandiser is tricky. When you know you know!   #  Most people don’t reply to direct messages (I used to be one of those people).  Thank you to those who have.   # Don’t underestimate the power of your existing network. The people who have worked with you know your work and your worth.   There have been a few “down” days and unproductive days but most have been full of new people, businesses and challenges and I’m loving it!   If you are a product business and want to discover the benefits of retail merchandising in a flexible and affordable way, connect with me and we will take it from there.

The summer is off to an exciting start with the wave from White Claw! 🌊 Behind the scenes: Unveiling a new store in Monroe, New Jersey, involved a seamless takeover strategy before the holiday rush. Picture this: a striking 12ft tall and 6ft wide White Claw Seltzer Co sign positioned strategically at the end of the aisle, flanked by cold beer doors. The meticulous alignment of the three sections of coroplast was key to creating a captivating design. This successful endeavor was a true team effort, showcasing the synergy between the merchandiser, salesman, and art department. The result? An awe-inspiring display that leaves the owner saying, “Wow” every time he lays eyes on it. This project not only secured prime real estate within the store but also fostered a strong bond with the owners, solidifying a lasting partnership.🤝 #whiteclaw #seltzers #teamwork #takeover #signage #pos #salesandrelations #relationshipbuilding #newjersey #selfdriven #quickturnaround #accountrelations #gobigorgohome #summertime #4thofJuly #fourthofJuly #newaccount #brandawareness #marketingandadvertising #summer2024 #beach #merchandising #primeplacement
