i see, so store allocations are different then retail stores....interesting
Good job in breaking it down, dcortes23. For your store, sounds like you have an Urban Dealer or Urban Elite account at themost. Again, its what your rep think fits your store. The reps job is to try and differentiate each store in an area's assortment of Nike without too muchcrossover. That way the customer can support more than 1 store in a market.Originally Posted by dcortes23
The Nike Rep. has an amount of shoe she has to allocate within the stores that she is a rep for. So the rep has lets say 100 shoes and ten stores that he/she is a rep for. In order for everybody to have a chance to get the shoe the rep has to evenly allocate the shoes. So 100 shoes 10 stores each store will only get 10 pairs each. If the rep thinks this store will sell more than another store he/she will give the other store 10 more pairs. Which will leave one store with 20 pairs and now has to allocate 80 pairs for 9 stores. I worked for Platinum for a little less that 2 years now. And I ask the owner Paul why wouldn't we just order 40 pairs of every hott shoe. CDP xi/xii, purple foams etc. And this is pretty much what he said to me.
Hope this will makes sense and sorts out any controversy on how many pairs each store gets.
Here is the official sizes sold to the public at Platinum Southcenter, 8.5(2) 9-13 (1). Platinum Wear Tacoma, 9 (1),10 (1) 11.5-13 (1). Sorryabout only 5 pairs at Tacoma, but the best benefit of working at a shoe store is having your pair on lock. Owner held 3 pairs only for employees withseniority.Originally Posted by heelntoe wit my nyks
Thanks for the break down. Let's speak more literal. Do you know if your rep handles both Platinum and RPS? Do you know your Reps allocation between all of his/her stores? More specifically the actual allocation of Foams in the NW. As far as I know Platinum and RPS are the only stores to receive them. A "breakdown" of what Platinum has on hand [to the public] was posted on ISS. Are you in the position of confirming what is being offered to the public from your stores. Like all others I imagine you have a couple stashed away. Fine with me. I'd hope this would be put out instead of double-talk.
Sorry if I'm grilling. My interest lies in future releases. As long as a shop is straight up with me [withholding sizes or not] they deserve my business. 1/2 cents are hot and I need to know if Platinum is in my future......
