Hello Everyone,
Well today is day three of my internship. As I'm sure none of you know, I am interning for Michael Kors in New York City in the Corporate Retail Department. I started a week ago, on Wednesday and have been traveling back and forth from Villanova every Monday and Wednesday. Tiring, yes, but totally worth it. It is only my third day, and it might just be the honey moon stage of my internship, but I love it! The very first day, I went to a sample sale and got a pair of awesome heels for $20, that are normally $165 from the new collection. I knew this adventure was going to be good, when the absolute first thing I did was go shopping. As the day went on I met more and more people, who were all very nice and I was put right to work. The first thing I worked on was filling orders for the retail outlet stores. What was interesting about that is that you don't just send the store what they request, instead you have to look at everything from the average weekly sales, to the sales of last week, even statistical stuff such as the variance, to determine how much they will actually need. I thought that was pretty interesting. Ever since that day, I have been working on the layouts for the certain stores and how they will layout the clothes within that specific store, and I am also updating the system with the certain price discounts the items get once they go to the retail outlet stores. I am sure there is more to come, and I'm excited to see what else I am put to do!
That right there, was a brief overlook of my duties as an intern for Michael Kors, and for it being the first week, I am loving it! It's great to see the "behind-the scenes" of each retail outlet store, and I'm learning how they all work. As for the blogging, this is my first one too..so I hope it wasn't that boring. I am on the bus ride home (2 hours) but I am getting ready to take a nap because its been a very loooong day! Have a great night!
