Key Responsibilities
Customer Engagement
Welcome customers warmly as they enter the store, ensuring they feel comfortable and attended to. Your role goes beyond answering questions; it involves building genuine connections by engaging in conversations about their style preferences and lifestyle needs.
Styling and Product Guidance
Assist shoppers in exploring our merchandise by offering styling suggestions that suit their personality and occasion. Whether it’s helping them curate an outfit or highlighting the season’s must-haves, you’ll ensure they leave with a product that makes them feel confident.
Driving Sales
Work towards achieving both personal and store sales targets. This involves not only showcasing our products but also actively promoting new arrivals, limited edition releases, and upcoming store promotions. Your enthusiasm for the brand will naturally translate into better sales performance.
Visual Merchandising
Maintain appealing store displays and ensure all products are presented neatly and creatively. This includes rearranging stock, setting up mannequins, and refreshing the store’s visual appeal to align with the brand’s aesthetic.
