Sweat, strategy, and sneakers: How I turned a summer internship into a sportswear slam dunk!🤾🏻 Two months at Under Armour store has been a whirlwind of innovation, customer insights, and sales savvy. 🫵🏻Here's a peek into my summer internship: - Dove deep into customer interactions, uncovering the pulse of the premium sports apparel market - Geeked out over UA's tech: HOVR, Flow footwear, and ISO-Chill apparel - Crunched numbers on sales and customer satisfaction - Spearheaded a project on boosting in-store experience and conversion rates 🗽The highlight? My project on enhancing in-store experience and conversion rates. Using surveys and one-on-one interactions, I: - Crafted a BCG matrix revealing performance apparel as the high-growth, high-market-share star - Identified women's apparel as a rising star with promising growth potential - Implemented a stair-step model to boost conversion 🏹Key strategies included: - Upskilling staff knowledge - Optimizing product variety and store navigation - Increasing customer engagement frequency 👾The ripple effect? Improved customer satisfaction, increased trust and loyalty, and a higher conversion rate with more browsers becoming buyers. 📽️But the real MVPs? The employees. Their industry wisdom and passion for UA's mission is the secret sauce that keeps customers coming back. 📍Key takeaway: Align with the company vision, master your sales pitch, and always put the customer first. That's how you win in retail! This internship provided invaluable insights into the inner workings of a Retail Store. I'm grateful to Piyush Khatri (Store manager) for creating such a supportive learning environment. I want to thank Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), for making this happen, especially PRABINA RAJIB ma'am, Rajeev Sharma sir, Gurpreet Kaur and Archana Shrivastava ma'am.

I never planned to become a merchandiser. During my studies I visited the Nike campus in Hilversum, and fell in love with the fact that it felt like a… student campus. A relaxed atmosphere, people meeting outside, and no business suits (my nightmare). So I decided to apply for an internship, and through a combination of luck and skill landed a role that kickstarted my career. I had no master plan to work in merchandising when I chose to study Behavioral Economics: I was interested in how people make (ir)rational decisions in the economic environment. Only later did I find out I had learned skills and knowledge I would be able to use in the retail industry. But what if things had gone another way? I am passionate about technology, could I have pursued that instead? Do I have transferable skills that are valuable elsewhere? A few weeks ago I spoke with Carl Hajal, a Software Segment Manager at Vention. They help manufacturing companies automate their production floor, and Carl is responsible for the growth of Vention’s software products. I learned that Carl is an expert in his field, an inspirational leader, and overall just a great person to talk to. I also learned, and was amazed by, how much our jobs have in common: 1️⃣ Playing the intermediary between Product/Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Planning (and several other functions) 2️⃣ Being the customer expert called into both account or client conversations and product development strategies 3️⃣ Translating technical product marvels into inspirational end-user stories Of course, the product at the center is different, but does that really matter? Functional expertise can be built over time, but the core abilities needed to do well are more deeply connected to our strengths, talents, and passions. It was enlightening to see how many transferable skills I have built up over time. Knowing this gives me peace of mind that our potential in the marketplace is much broader than we might think at first glance. What are your transferable skills? How can you apply them in a different team, function, company, or industry? #Merchandising #TransferableSkills #CareerDevelopment PS. Did this make you think? Reach out to me! I am a product merchant in sports & fashion retail, an advocate for personal growth and an introvert figuring out how to thrive professionally.

If brands are your ecosystem, stores are your oxygen. Ever since my first tryst with Retail via a B-School summer internship with a global sportswear giant back in 2017, the very thing that has fascinated me about Retail is the golden opportunity to interact with customers at a personal level, something that’s invaluable as a Marketing professional, and arguably, which online surveys or listening sessions could seldom match. I had the opportunity of spending 5 days at H&M’s bustling Connaught Place store in New Delhi, learning about several functions that go into the making of an anchor store, visual merchandising, product lines, fashion trends, and precious consumer behaviour insights.

My PSA for the day...for interns. If you are starting an internship at a manufacturing or really any company out there please wear proper shoes. Flip flop/slides are NOT appropiate shoes. This is especially true if you are in a manufacturing site. I get that you are only there for the summer, but accidents can happen and appropiate footwear can save you from injury. If you see one such intern, please pull them aside and speak to them confidentially. I had to do this once with our department intern. It turns out that the flip flop were the nicest shoes this person owned and they were trying to look professional as best as they could. I gave them some ideas of where to go to get some cheap items. They were very thankful for the confidential conversation and ideas. The following week they were dressed appropiately for the office. Some ideas: - clearance section of Walmart or Target - 2nd hand stores - Salvation Army or Goodwill stores #Internship #2024Interns #Engineering

I am thrilled to share that I recently completed my internship at United Colors of Benetton India. Entering the fashion industry to do market research, I was eager to understand what a typical clothes buyer thinks. What makes him decide to buy clothes, how much does he spend, which brands does he consider, how often does he buy, and what are the preferred channels of buying? These were some of the questions I sought to explore. During my internship, my research focus was on consumer behaviour within the fashion industry. My contributions included analyzing data and reporting on various aspects of consumer perceptions & attributes associated with different fashion brands. I was particularly interested in learning about the buying habits and spending patterns of various customer cohorts, and I identified suitable customer segments for the company according to its market positioning. I look forward to applying these learnings and insights in future endeavours! #InternshipExperience #MarketResearch #FashionIndustry #ConsumerBehavior #UnitedColorsOfBenetton
