PUSH /

A merchandise push is completed by the PROCESS Manager and involves physically moving merchandise from
performas, hanging or folded, into a staging area with the focus of getting it pushed from the backroom to the floor –
with a timed expectation for execution.

Pushed merchandise can be stacked on carts, pulled to rolling racks or staged in the “In & Out” section to be placed
on the floor.
Once a push is staged, the PROCESS Manager can work with the team or delegate the task of physically pushing
the merchandise to the team.
Merchandise “pushes” should always be time-bound assignments. The PROCESS Manager needs to set clear
timelines for when a push is to be completed.
Pushed merchandise is not necessarily size or style focused. It could mean taking the entire inventory of an item in
the backroom onto the floor, specifically when a promotion on an item is happening.
If there is space and capacity on the sales floor, a push of merchandise from the backroom should be done. Later
work with the merchandise on the floor to use the extra sizes or styles to fill nesters and/or double expose.
