Marketing plays an important role in almost every industry sector. In its simplest form, it is about ensuring that customers' needs are met whilst maximising the profits of a company. A marketing manager's responsibilities can vary enormously, but will always have this as a central objective.
Daily tasks and duties will depend on the company size, structure and industry sector but may include:
monitoring and analysing market trends
studying competitors' products and services
exploring ways of improving existing products and services, and increasing profitability
identifying target markets and developing strategies to communicate with them.
Most marketing managers work 37 hours a week, between the hours of 9am and 6pm. As with many jobs with tight deadlines, they may be expected to work additional hours at certain times to ensure that targets are met. Some positions may require a lot of travel, particularly when working for an international company.
Salaries can range from around £25,000 a year for someone new to the role, to £40,000 or more for a senior manager.
A marketing manager should:
have knowledge of a wide range of marketing techniques and concepts
be an excellent communicator
be able to respond well to pressure
think creatively
be interested in what motivates people
All industry sectors employ marketing managers. Jobs are generally concentrated around major cities such as London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Liverpool. This is a popular area of work so competition can be intense.
There are no set entry routes, but marketing managers often progress into the role after gaining several years of marketing experience, possibly as an executive or assistant, or in a specialist role such as advertising or brand manager. Typically, employers look for graduates.
On-the-job training is complemented by professional marketing qualifications. These range from introductory certificates to advanced level qualifications.
A successful marketing manager may be able to progress to more senior posts such as marketing director or even managing director. It may be possible to work abroad.

Retail buyer
A retail buyer is responsible for planning, selecting and purchasing quantities of goods and merchandise that are sold in retail stores. Most buyers specialise in one product type, for example clothes, fashion accessories, food and drink, or books.
Typical duties for a retail buyer include:
analysing trends and consumer buying patterns
attending fashion shows and trade fairs to search out new products and suppliers
choosing product ranges, placing supplier orders and negotiating contracts
evaluating product quality and gathering customer feedback
writing management reports and presenting collections to senior retail managers.
Retail buyers usually work Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. However, it may be necessary to work additional hours to meet order deadlines. Retail buyers may spend time away from the office visiting trade fairs and shows, and sourcing and visiting new suppliers. Fashion buyers are particularly likely to travel overseas.
Salaries may range from around £12,000 to £50,000 or more a year.
Retail buyers need:
excellent commercial awareness
an understanding of what motivates customers to buy individual products
good analytical skills
creativity and the ability to recognise future trends
an interest in retail and their chosen product sector.
Around 12,000 people are employed specifically as retail buyers in the UK. Opportunities are available with High Street retailers, supermarkets, retail chains and independent retailers, department, discount and home improvement stores, mail order companies, internet retailers and television shopping channels.
High competition for jobs means that many entrants have a degree or a BTEC higher national certificate/diploma (HNC/HND). Relevant subjects include business studies, and retail and distribution. Employers of retail fashion buyers typically ask for fashion qualifications. It may be possible to enter the industry via an Apprenticeship in Retail, and undertake a buying or merchandising placement.
Many organisations run general store management training schemes for new entrants. This may involve working in different departments, including buying, to gain a solid business understanding. A few fashion retailers offer training schemes specifically for buyers. Retail buyers may be encouraged to study for professional qualifications.
In large companies, promotion may be possible to senior buyer, trading manager or buying controller. In some cases, it may be necessary to relocate or move companies in order to progress. With experience, buyers may be able to reach manager or director level in product management, marketing or merchandising.

Retail Manager
Retail managers are responsible for the day-to-day running of department stores, chain stores, supermarkets and independent shops.
They look after staff management, including taking on and training new staff, maintaining a good standard of customer care and increasing sales and profitability.
In large stores, there may be more than one manager, each responsible for a specific department.
Managers usually work around 35 hours a week, within the opening hours of the shop or store. This includes weekend work and often late night openings during the week. The environment is busy and often noisy, and the work involves standing, walking, bending and stretching.
Salaries range from around £12,500 for new retail managers, up to around £65,000 for managers of large stores.
A retail manager should:
know the company's products and procedures and relevant legislation
be committed to a high level of customer service
be confident, quick-thinking and able to lead and motivate a team
have excellent spoken and written communication skills
be able to take responsibility and make decisions
enjoy working in a busy, lively environment.
Nearly three million people work in retail jobs across the UK, so there are good opportunities for finding work. There are jobs for retail managers with national and international companies, and independent retailers of all sizes.
There are no set academic requirements to work in retail, but GCSEs/S grades may be expected, and A levels/H grades are also useful. Various useful specific qualifications are on offer, including national awards, foundation degrees and degrees. Apprenticeships may be available to start work in retail - many people start as sales assistants and work up through training and promotion. There is no upper age limit for entry, and mature applicants with relevant experience are welcomed.
Larger retail businesses have their own training schemes, including graduate trainee management schemes. Managers can study while working for retail qualifications such as NVQs/SVQs in retail operations, and BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Retail Management.
There may be opportunities for promotion in larger businesses to senior manager, area manager or a head office management position, though this may mean moving to a different location. Experienced and enthusiastic managers in independent shops and stores may be able to progress to similar positions in larger businesses.

Work as a personal sales shopper
Personal shoppers, also known as styling consultants or fashion advisers, give customers one-to-one advice in all areas of fashion, from beauty products and make-up to clothing and accessories. Taking into account the client's personality, lifestyle, body shape, hairstyle, preferred colours, skin tone and budget, they use their product and fashion expertise to select items and give honest opinions. Typical tasks include:
booking in client appointments
conducting an initial consultation to learn about the client's lifestyle and determine what assistance they require
carrying out colour compatibility tests
accompanying clients around the store as they pick out items they like
highlighting new fashion trends
selecting a range of items for the client to try, explaining how different items, colours and accessories work together
promoting store credit and loyalty cards
dealing with stylists and wardrobe assistants looking for clothing for TV, film and theatre productions
updating client profiles for future reference
contacting regular clients when something new arrives in the store.
Hours of work are varied and can involve some evening and weekend work. There are part-time and freelance opportunities. Some personal shoppers have luxurious lounge areas in which to entertain clients, with private fitting rooms and refreshments.
Starting salaries are around £16,000 to £22,000 a year. With experience, this can rise to around £30,000 or more. Those working with celebrities or film stylists generally command higher salaries.
Besides general retail and customer service skills, a personal shopper should:
have excellent organisational skills
be a good listener and communicator
be discreet
be sensitive, diplomatic and supportive, in order to put customers at ease
possess a genuine interest in fashion and be naturally creative.
Many large department stores and fashion houses offer a complementary personal shopping service. These are usually in large city shopping centres or High Street stores. Competition for posts is high. Some personal shoppers work freelance or specialise in celebrity styling.

Retail Sales
The retail sales and customer services sectors offer a wide range of goods and services to customers. Some businesses specialise in selling a particular product, such as books or shoes, while others, such as department stores, sell many different products.
Retail sales staff such as retail assistants, checkout operators, shopkeepers, market traders and personal shoppers deal directly with customers.
Customer services staff may work behind a counter or in a contact centre or showroom, and are seen as essential in the drive to increase sales.
Wholesale staff work in such organisations as builders' merchants and vehicle parts operations.
Full-time staff usually work 37 to 40 hours a week, but shift work is common, and there is plenty of scope for part-time and flexible working. Most people in the retail sector work in clean, bright shops and stores in customer-facing roles. Many also work behind the scenes in offices and contact centres. Some jobs may involve travel to visit different stores, suppliers and customers.

They must usually be able to work well in a team and enjoy working with people. Managers, shop owners and other professionals need organisational and people-management skills. IT skills and skills with handling money and finance are often necessary.
Many jobs in this sector do not require educational qualifications, but some employers may ask for qualifications ranging from GCSEs/S grades to A levels/H grades and degrees, or equivalent qualifications. Retail courses are available in colleges and universities throughout the country.

Sales Training
I have been involved in sales for my whole life, from selling KFC when I was sixteen to right now when I’m selling Natural Training every day.
There were a few defining sales moments in my life that helped my growth as a sales professional. They tended to be when I was in what I call “grass-roots” sales jobs. By grass-roots selling I mean that I was in direct contact with the market. I saw market forces at work and the whites of customers’ eyes as they contemplated parting with some hard-earned cash.
I’m university educated but I didn’t learn anything about selling in university. I’m not sure anyone ever does. I didn’t really get involved in the whole typical uni scene. I worked 30 hours per week most of my four years at university. While the other students at RMIT in Melbourne were downing jugs of beer at The Oxford Scholar or campaigning against up-front fees, I was in my first real sales job. This job involved spruiking.
Grassroots Lesson #1: TalkingFor those not familiar, spruikers are the annoying people who stand at the entrance to retail outlets holding a microphone and talking in excited tones about the current special deals. Spruiking probably originated hundreds of years ago first in traveling salesmen (Snake Oil Cures 101 Illnesses!), then circuses such as during the PT Barnum days (“Roll-up!) to the modern version that you still see today at fruit stalls all over the country. It is the spruiker’s role to regulate the flow of customers into the store, ensuring that there is lots of new business for the store owner.
The spruiking job proved to be a great insight into sales. A velvet-tongued bloke called Jim with a company called “Voicepower” (say in appropriate TV announcing voice) gave me all the training and regarded me as one of the finest young “spruikers” he had. This was due mainly to my “no fear”, overly confident personality. Jim loved me because I would take on retail assignments that I knew nothing about while other spruikers stuck to products they knew.
One hour I could be standing at the front of a handbag shop, and the next hour it might be a travel agent. It was about triple the hourly rate of any other job I could have got at that stage, but it was really hard work. Basically you have to repeat the same lines over and over for four hours.
I loved it though, because I felt in control of how well the store would fare. I would glance into the store, and the owner or manager would give me the thumbs up whenever they wanted more footfall. I would then pull out all my best lines, and give it some large with the energy, and minutes later the store would be full again and the owner would have a big smile on his or her face. Brilliant.
Looking back now that really helped me to understand marketing at the grass roots level. I wasn’t sitting around in a boardroom trying to second-guess customers. What I said, and the way I said it, was honed every minute of every day by customer response and reaction. I learnt the power of good headlines, about getting to the point and talking in benefits rather than just features. It felt great.

Retail sales
Retail outlets are flourishing globally. With business expanding, there is a need for resource allocation. Newer talents and proactive staff is required to manage the outlets. Malls and shopping complexes seem to be crowded all throughout the season, thereby stepping up sales. Apparel industry is doing boom time business and hence the job opportunities here are plenty. Shopping for need has become easy, as the front office staff and customer sales executives are ever ready to display the dresses in vogue. There are opportunities for Brand Managers and Purchase Managers.
Jobs in apparel industry relate to front office executives, who are the face of the business. This is a one-point interaction and they can guide the potential customer towards selecting a dress. Assistants in sales are located at all pivotal areas and they possess excellent communication skills to understand the needs of the customer. Hard selling techniques do not work in sales, in the apparel industry, as the customer is a very informed person.

Retail Sales
I would like to tell you a bit of a story so you can relate with me better. I have been trying to find a good online business for a while now. I thought that all hope was over until I decided to try my hand at retail marketing. I am now well on my way to making huge profits from retail sales.
How did I decide retail sales were what I needed to do? Well, I found this blog about someone that was basically in the same situation that I was. The author was trying to break into retail sales for some time, and after searching through tons of different products he finally found what worked for him. It takes a lot of drive and determination to make any business work, and you have to stick with it. If you are trying to get into retail sales one of the first things you must do is find products that you can buy wholesale at a great price, and pass those great savings on to your customers. They will thank you by coming back again, and again. Buying at a low price will also allow you to start out with opening day sales, and after your limited time offer runs out raise the price a little. You will generate tons of sales this way.
Ok, so those were just a few tips, and suggestions that I have found helpful to me. I hope that this article was at least helpful in some way, to someone. Just stick in there, don't give up, and most importantly treat your customers with dignity and respect, and they will keep coming back for more!

Retail selling
Retailers face an intense competitive environment. With the growing availability of retail space there are more stores joining the marketplace. At the same time there is also a great deal of money to be made at the retail level.
Consumers have more disposable income to spend, and have become accustomed to experience shopping as a form of recreation.
Here are some strong selling strategies that can be used by retailers to produce more sales.
Retail Selling Strategy #1
Display the original retail price, or manufacturers suggested retail price, next to your price. Make the two prices very clear so that shoppers will realize what a great bargain they are receiving.
Retail Selling Strategy #2
Offer free promotional items. If you want to increase your retail sales you should strongly consider using promotional items. Promotional items should have a high perceived value, such as a free DVD or CD. Give them away with every purchase over a certain amount. You can offer a higher priced value giveaway for larger purchases.
A clever retail idea is to figure out what your average retail sale is, then offer a give away for sales higher than that average. This strategy should increase your average sale since people will want the giveaway.
Retail Selling Strategy #3
Offer a loss leader. A loss leader is a product which you sell to bring attention to your store. If customers are used to paying $1 for a pair of socks, but you sell them for .05 each, you will have customers lining up to buy them from you.
You will be losing money on the socks, but think of how many other items your customers will buy once they are in your store.

The Bureau estimates that companies will need nearly 2.3 million retail salespeople by 2014 and almost 1.8 million cashiers. High-growth jobs in retail also include those who work in merchandise display and who are purchasing managers.
The Flexibility of Retail Jobs
There's truly never been a better time to get a retail job. In addition to the unprecedented number of job openings, retail work has a number of benefits and opportunities that are simply not available in other industries. For example, when you're taking the first steps on your career path, store jobs provide incredible flexibility. You can choose to work part-time or full-time, depending on your schedule and circumstances. Similarly, temporary positions abound during peak seasons, such as mall jobs during November and December or retail jobs at resort destinations during the summer.
The flexibility of retail jobs extends to the type of company for which you wish to work. Perhaps you would enjoy working in an independent boutique, for example, or maybe you enjoy the atmosphere of a "big box" retailer. It could be that mall jobs entice you, or perhaps you like the idea of working for a national or international retail chain. Because retail jobs are so ubiquitous, the choice is completely up to you.
Learning on the Job
Aside from the flexibility offered by jobs in retail, these positions offer education and training that you often don't find in other fields. Large companies may have intensive training programs specifically tailored to the position you're filling and to the company for which you're working. Although you may begin in one position, you can easily earn opportunities for advancement and training in a variety of other retail fields.
While smaller companies often rely upon on-the-job training for their new employees (rather than structured classes), you most likely will have the opportunity to learn a wide variety of skills. For example, if you are hired as a sales clerk in an independent clothing boutique, you may find that you have the opportunity to work on merchandise displays, to help design in-store promotions, and even to accompany the owner to market to select fashion for upcoming seasons.
Financial Benefits of Retail Jobs
Because there is such a great demand for those pursuing a retail career, employers often offer a wide range of financial incentives and benefits to their employees. From health insurance, tuition reimbursement, and retirement plans to parental leave, paid vacation time, and employee discounts, retail jobs can be as financially rewarding as they are satisfying.
