<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><u><i>My time At BHS</i></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In 2006, being out of w</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">ork for a while and my conference slowing being killed by every ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ response from every every job that I had applied for.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Then BHS offered me a 2day work trial and then a christmas temp job. In the January I was then offered a 30hour contract, By March I was working as Visual ass</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">ociate. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In 2008 I started their ‘Wanna Be Program’ (that was their management training program) working towards being a department/visual manager. As the recession began to tack hold fully the company management structor was restructured, resulting in 100s having to re-apply for their jobs, and as the number of manager positions with in tech store had been cut some were made redundant or put put down to sales associate. At the time I was not in a Management position, so my job was safe. unfortunately for any visual merchandiser that was not in a flagship store they were either put down to Visual associate or they took redundancy</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">By the time I left there I had worked on several major refits with in the company, Visual support with in model stores preparing for visits, I was training staff in my store and others in the region. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">BHS has give me a chance to grow in way I didn't think I would.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>The Compertion</i></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">O</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">ver the years the company has struggled to keep up with the fast growing and change competition not only with in shops but online. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remember doing competitive shops, Going to as many of the shops on the high street as I could- Primark, Debanhams, M&S, Topshop, H&M mothercare, new look, Bon Marche, Many because it kept me out of the shop and didn't have to persuade customers to open one of our ‘fantastic’ cards…. But back to the point, I found that all of these shops had the same or similar products at the same price point or with a average of £2-£3 difference. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Their merchandising was never anything special, - apart from a lot of the shops were a newer as some had had refits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u>Marketing.</u></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Topshop had Kate Mose promoting their products and Marks and Spencer hand Twiggy, BHS had... well not a lot, Shops that needed a coat of paint inside and a out, and lots, lots more. They rely more on returning costumers, through lollty and word of mouth, which in this century of social media, TV adds, You Tube adds and magazines, makes it hard to keep up. BHS was very left behind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can remember them doing a TV add for there 'Mega Event' shone in the eadd brake of Coronation street. All green and black, a computer generated add, as horrid as this is I'm sure that a year 9 student could put together a better add. Considering that there age range stretched through new born, young children, teenagers 20/30 years, through to 60s/70s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>The Stock and Branding </i></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Every clothing shop on the high streat has an age demographic which they are targeting ( For example Miss Selfridge 16-23 TopShop 24-29 Dorothy Perkins 30-40) Have such a wide range of departments covering so many ages sometimes it was as if BHS its self did not no who it was/is targeting. You would find workwear with its suits and smart dress targeting the 30-40 year old woman, sitting next to Flippy skirts and classic designed trousers targe</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ting 55 60 plus. We would merchandise the products beautifly, but still it always lacked definition, even as they brought in more brading with A3 and 1</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">/2 A3</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> signage to put on to fixtuers and wall freezes it could messy, and after thought as such. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u>The Home Department</u></i></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apart from the lighting section of the home department, which had a great selection of dated Crystal chandelles, and crystal table lamps, the products where lovely. It was only in 2009/10 that they started getting in more modern design lighting, but they still favoured the old 80s style.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u>The windows</u></i></span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Where their windows had mannequins with products that they had in in stock we had photo graphics mass produced for every store. (on occasions we would find that we would have a window graphic advertising something that we did not stock for.) It wasn't until late in 2011 that they began putting window displays with products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a pain as it was to Implement these graphics if it was done right and the graphics were not damaged the glass clean, floors swept the Minimal look worked well, looking clean and neat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It wasn't until around 2009/10 that stores started using the grip bars which aloud to create a deeper 3D effect with the graphics, this meant even more care with putting up the graphics as of they were not in the bar properly and you tried to hang them you risked the graphic ripping. </span></div>

<u><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Signage</span></i></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Signage was always, and I can imagen it properly still is a big thing. Every week there would be at least 2 delivers of window signage - a large one a smaller one and two FOFs there would be normally 4 different sets, this being that a lot of stores would have 4 windows, A3 black and white price points and photo graphics, wall images 1200x2400, price point cards for price pointing cloths on mannequins, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">FOFs for the shop floor, table top signage for the home department. Then there is the in store signage kits, sale red and white (or in some of the forgoten stores it was orange and black) Banners, A3 %off price points 'Items from £XX, shelf signage, and a black and white kit consisting of the same and more. (a Forrest per store.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It almost seamed like over kill. and on occasions you was as if all you could see was hang signage fixture signage and wall graphics. in some ways it was a good thing in old store that were screaming out for a re-fit or at least at coat of paint.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first Christmas with them as Visual associate In late september we got a huge delivery of signage, wall graphics, A3s, shelf signage, window graphics, FOFs, pillar wraps, enough freeze to go around the whole store. banners to hang and decorations. during the christmas season we received more window signage, window decals, FOFs and wall graphics leaving the ones we had received in september redundant. In the February it was time to clear out old signage, the Christmas signage that had not been used filled up nearly two bins. All the stores would have been the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Looking at stores then - when I worked for the and even now. most don't use wall graphics, they use small amounts of price pointing signage located on fixtures is its a sale section then you will find one maybe two banners hanging above, and hardly If any branding signage, unless it is in a shop such as Debenhams, then the shops with the shop rely on different fixtures and large fixed banners attached to the walls.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It always seamed that they were trying to hard to make a statement with the company with all the wall graphics and photo A3 signs. little is more. Especially with signage other wise it just looks messing, I hated having to put it all up as at time it seamed as thought the product was lost with in a sea of signage.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I dread to think how much money was wasted on signage that was never used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A little over kill. Do you think we had a promotion on?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">FOFs:</span> These things were the bane of my life. I know if anyone really knew what FOF stood for it could be Follower Of Fashion, for me it got called Fucking Odd Fixture.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The old style ones were basically a metal frame which you slotted in two pieces of card, which if you were not careful would fall out the moment you turned away, if the card didn't full out it would be the graphic falling off the card or both.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Later we received a new design, this one was a a metal frame with and the graphic would slip behind a perspex sheet. the down side i found with these, were that it was a two person job, one on a ladder feeding it in and another making sure it diid not get stuck on the screws or nicks on the inside of the frame. If you tock the perspex out - which you were meant to, you risked braking it. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Pros of FOFs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For highlighting high volume Fashion, such as jeans, shirts,t-shirts, Coats.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">They are a great way of highlighting and directing people to a certain section or brand.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">They uesd to be used to hightlight ofers events.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">and 'As seen in/on' (as for BHS it was always 'As seen in') </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Cons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Because of their size you lose space for one fixture.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">always used to fine that people tripped of the base.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">With the old style they would full apart.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">They would create bind sports if not placed right.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I dont think I can say that I saw another shop that used this type of signage fixture. perhaps because it is a little old school looking and would make the sales floor cluterd.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I </span>have recently returned home from a trip to Venice, Italy. the Old City was perpearing for the Venetian Carnival Seeing people walking the streets in the evening in their ball gowns and masks was spectacular Due to the tidal canals all shops put in flood defences at night, Some stores even go as far as wrapping the feet of the mannequins at night to protect them and the products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I could not resist taking some pictures of the shop window display. If you follow me on Instagram You might have already have seen them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Please excuse the darkness on some of the pitchers as they where taken at night, as well as I am not sure of some of the names of the companies, I forgot the make a note of them.)</span><br />

Needed something bright and summery but its a little early for easter. So on walking through the shop I found four of the Fraggle Rock costumes.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I</span>t is that time of the year again in retail, between new year and pay day and all is slow.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a trip to Southend I decided to take a look in BHS and see how things looked after Christmas. Being early on a Sunday it was very quite in shop (and on the high street) the shop at first looked reasonably tidy, well merchandised, and till you look past the products, its the season of red and white signage and its out in force on fixtures and stuck on the walls. yes A3 signage suck on the walls, something that was forbidden when i was there. The dividing white walls that split up the large floor space within the marked out walk ways and presented well but the down fall is the remainders of double sided tape still attached to the wall to gather dirt.- nothing that a scraper and baking soda or vinegar wouldn't budge.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At this time of year I can under stand not having mannequin groups at the front of the store as sale mercy tends to take the space, but this store needs something to distract the view from the badge and brown gondoliers that, especially as on the left side of the store you have Dorothy Perkins concession which is made up of rails and 6 ways fixtures and tables and dose put the store to shame.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I under stand that it can be hard to make the store look immaculate like the res of the year, but the little things can make a huge impact, clean walls and fixtures, signage placement and fixtures being used.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even with the window graphics advertising January sales, you would not at first think that the store was in sale mode. Like a lot of the shops they have kept their mannequins in the window withs with new seasons stock.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In side the place is lovely, In the centre there is an escalator that takes you up to the first floor which is the home of Burtons. All their sale products are on rails, and all price pointed in their relevant sections. as you enter the store it is spacious and bright and continues to the back of the store to a small shoe and accessorise section.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The whole shop is layed out very elegantly not crowed with fixtures and they are not over filled.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">W</span><span style="font-size: 15px;">hat a dramatic change compered with before Christmas.</span></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are less fixtures as you first enter the shop, making it easier to move around, as well as less tables with products piled on. This is posible due to low stock, but still it looks so much more pleasant.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This visit was mid day so the glass atrium was doing its job of allowing maximum light into the store.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite being so much tidier, it is still laking an impact or focal point as you enter.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The lower floor is home to mens shoes and home. The lay out here rearly changes, the shoes are organised by sized and reasonably tidy. If you enter the store on this floor, the first thing that you see is the wall at the bottom of the escalators which is a main focal point but unforchantly has not yet been used to its full potential.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am loving the windows of Next on Fenchurch street, with the bright yellow pitcher frames and rails drawing you in to the items. a beautiful pale blue background with blue neon lights reading 'hello' '2015' 'spring' allowing the items on the mannequins and props not to be overpowered. Along with the black and white floor the whole stretch of windows looks very classy.</span></div>
