Despite a decade of inflation, I still dig your supply curve

This sentence is for David and Andy!

So, guess who has been applying her econ. readings to real life! Yes, me. So I never mentioned it, but I started taking an Econ class online at Pima so that I can get a head start on classes that I'll have to take at the UofA for business. It just so happens that what I've been studying in the class fits in perfectly with what I'm doing at Gadabout! It's crazy how everything in life eventually comes together. But I will share my econ insights with you...

One of my earlier Gadabout projects was creating a product knowledge manual that included descriptions and planograms for every product that Gadabout sells. I produced seven manuals: one for each location and one for myself. Yesterday Megan and I went to the Sunrise/Kolb salon and re-arranged ALL of the product shelves so that everything went according to MY planograms!!! It was really exciting to see everything that I'd planned out on paper go up in real life. After we were finished, Megan quizzed me on what I'd learned about strategic product placement and I was able to ramble on and on about why each product line was where, and how it affected the consumer. Oh man you would've been proud. Just as an example, Gadabout has their own line of haircare called G-Line, which is now placed right next to the front counter in a case, that way it is the first thing that customers see when the walk in and they are even forced to walk by it, which will hopefully result in increasing sales of the line.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, which is the next major holiday for the salons (again giftcards are gonna go like crazy), so that is the focus for the rest of the week. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing, but I know it will have to do with Mother's Day.

Well now you know about the exciting econ-filled week I've had thus far; I'll be sure to fill you in on my next applications of the study.

Oh BASIS BASIS BASIS....
