WEEK 4

Monday: In the morning I filled out memo return sheets. After the clients views the fabric memos, we sent the memos back to the vendors. I called vendors about pricing and availability.  I went through the list of discontinuing patterns for Michael Jon.

Tuesday: I called vendors about pricing and availability. I went through the list of discontinuing patterns for Michael Jon again. At the end of the day, a sales prep from Schumacher presented to the interior designer about their new fabric collections.

Wednesday: In the morning I went with Sherlene to a client meeting. She wanted another opinion for the client. I called vendors about pricing and availability. I went through the list of discontinuing patterns for Michael Jon.

Thursday: Rachel and I organized another shelve in the accessory room. Amy, another interior designer on staff, needed assist in picking the accessories and art work for her job on Tuesday.

Friday: I was headed to the office, but Amy needed assist at her client house. I began to organizing their playroom so that Tuesday’s job would go quicker.

The company markets their services with TV commercials, facebook, client referral, and ads in magazines. The company targets are toward high end and low end clients, as well as walk-ins in the residential and some commercial clients. Both Marsha, the owner, and Marla, the manager, deal with the marketing. Check out Yessick's website or their facebook page.

This is Amy Monsees. She is the interior designer that I assist this week and until Tuesday. She is NCIDQ certified and is member of ASID. I enjoyed working with her this week and look forward to working with her on the job on Tuesday.

As a retail showroom, I am wondering if Yessick's publishes completed projects in addition to the ads they take in various magazines? Do they do any pro bono work, or get involved in community initiatives that would give them an identity that would help attract clients of various socio-economic levels? I am also wondering the percentage of income based on client design work versus purchased goods from their store? Services versus products. You engaged in a good balance of activities this week supporting both designer and client needs this week.You are becoming an important contributor to their process. What about strategic planning? What about accounting? Would like to know more about their role at Yessick's.
