What is merchandise?

Merchandise jobs involve managing the selection, presentation, and promotion of products in retail or wholesale environments. People in these roles work to ensure that the right products are available in the right quantities and are attractively displayed to maximize sales. Common merchandise positions include merchandisers, buyers, planners, and visual merchandisers. These roles require a mix of analytical, creative, and communication skills to analyze trends, negotiate with suppliers, and create engaging displays.

What are different types of merchandising jobs?

Merchandising is a collection of strategies to encourage customer buying habits and increase sales. Merchandising jobs include the supplier who provides products to stores, the distributor who resells products to customers, and the merchandisers who design product displays for in-store and e-commerce sales. As a retail merchandiser, you handle marketing and promotional activities for brick-and-mortar stores. As a visual merchandiser, you set up product displays and organize floor plan layouts, and as a fashion merchandiser, you focus your efforts on apparel and accessories.

What are some common challenges faced by merchandise professionals in maintaining optimal inventory levels?

Merchandise professionals often face the challenge of balancing inventory to avoid both overstock and stockouts. Fluctuating consumer demand, supply chain delays, and inaccurate sales forecasts can complicate this task. To address these challenges, merchandise teams use data analytics, regular communication with suppliers, and collaboration with sales and marketing departments. Staying flexible and proactive helps ensure shelves are stocked with the right products at the right time.

What is the difference between Merchandise vs Retail Associate?

AspectMerchandiseRetail Associate
Primary RoleManaging inventory, product displays, and stock levelsAssisting customers, sales transactions, and store operations
Work EnvironmentWarehouses, stockrooms, or back-end retail areasFront-end retail stores, customer-facing areas
Required SkillsInventory management, visual merchandising, organizationCustomer service, communication, sales skills
Common CertificationsNone typically required, but inventory or merchandising courses helpCustomer service certifications or sales training

While both roles are integral to retail operations, merchandise focuses on inventory and product presentation behind the scenes, whereas retail associates engage directly with customers to facilitate sales. Understanding these differences helps job seekers identify the right career path within the retail industry.

Job description


YOUR ROLE
As the Merchandise Leader, you are the Merchandising Team Leader's right hand in ensuring your store is always rocking AEO Brand Visual Standards. Your expertise lies in executing effective Floorsets, marketing and merchandising updates; plus, you ensure the store is always "guest ready" through effective replenishment. You have a keen attention to detail, you are passionate about visual standards, and you love working with your team to #getthejobdone. Most importantly, you represent our company values and bring your REAL self to work every day.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  • You have a passion for merchandising: You support driving an outstanding guest experience in partnership with the Merchandising Team Leader by ensuring your store is always representative of AEO Brand Standards.
  • Floorsets are your "thing"! You drive killer Floorset execution by training and coaching the Floorset team, setting clear productivity goals, and ensuring all areas of the store are effectively executed to Floorset standards - from uppers and bustforms to tables and wardrobers.
  • You're a merchandising innovator: You ensure your store stays in tip-top shape by #owning day to day merchandising, sell-through adjustments and replenishment. You have a keen eye for merchandising opportunities and are always ready to game plan with leadership and take action!
  • You've got a "teamwork" mentality: You support the Merchandising Team Leader in ensuring the team understands how to maintain AEO Brand Standards through merchandising, adjustments and replenishment so your store is always looking #fresh!
  • You're a people person: You ensure the merchandising team's #1 priority is always the guest experience. You make it a priority to champion a culture of recognition and you love to celebrate wins with the team!
  • Integrity is your middle name: You ensure store safety standards are maintained on the Salesfloor and in the Stockroom. You're committed to shrink-reducing strategies and you always adhere to AEO policies and procedures.

YOU'D BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF:
  • You love AE and Aerie products!
  • You love organization and have attention to detail; priority-setting and time management are your strong suits.
  • You have flexible availability - you're there to get product moving early in the morning, late in the evening and on the weekends.
  • You have strong retail merchandising and visual skills and you have a history of retail work - #practicemakesperfect.

OUR ASSOCIATES LOVE AEO BECAUSE:
  • They work with REAL people - there's nothing like your #AEOFamily.
  • They're given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement.
  • They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new Floorsets!)
  • They participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
