Buyer
I am the Men's clothing and accessory Buyer for two retail locations and a fast pace internet business. I forecast upcoming trends in the Men's apparel marketplace, negotiate with vendors and place seasonal buys that fit within our sales plans. It is my responsibility to write and manage all of the product content for the vendors I oversee including original product descriptions and blogs as well as all back office SEO and meta data imports. I plan, coordinate and communicate all marketing and newsletter content to our graphics department to consistently meet our revenue goals. I manage our receipt flow of goods, cut purchase orders, organize and analyze seasonal newsletters, negotiate vendor swaps, manage the markdown process and communicate and train our sales teams on our merchandising plans and standards throughout the season.
