Clothing and Novelty Buyer Intern

As the North Dakota State University Bookstore's Clothing and Novelty Buyer Intern I contributed in buying/vendor meetings for merchandise and novelty products. I profoundly assisted in the ordering process as a means to help create successful product lines and to maximize profits. In the absence of management I took leadership initiative to assign tasks and projects. I also strengthened my prioritization skills by analyzing departmental needs based on inventory stock levels, as well as supervised site merchandising by adding new product, imagery, and descriptions. I constructed a buying budget based on last semester figures, and priced merchandise based on planned gross margin and retail reductions. Additionally I created marketing plans and designed displays for both in store and e-Commerce. • NDSU Bookstore Sales Lead – Visual Merchandiser – Specialist prior to internship | May 2013-November 2014
