What makes a great merchandiser?

Here are some things you should be aware of if you're considering pursuing a career in field marketing:

  1. It's critical to have effective interpersonal and communication abilities. Merchandising necessitates communication with a variety of people, including team members and customers. You'll need to establish connections with store members and be able to problem solve at times.
  2. You must be organised and have good time management skills. Being able to prioritise assignments and fulfil deadlines is essential because merchandisers sometimes work on several projects and campaigns at once.
  3. You ought to feel at ease carrying out independent work. Merchandisers frequently travel independently, put together promotional displays and operate alone. You must therefore possess self-motivation and the capacity for initiative.
  4. You will require flexibility and quick thinking. Field marketing can be unpredictable, and you might need to adapt to shifting conditions or unforeseen difficulties. The key is having the capacity to think quickly and come up with innovative answers.

It’s not all hard work

By that we mean, a job at Dee Set is not your typical 9-5, and we like to think we offer our colleagues more than just a wage as part of their benefits package.
