Two Driving Questions

   How can we use “Search and
    Send” as a sales driving force
    with regards to Cosmetic
    replenishment?
   How can sales associates
    efficiently check MyClient for
    replenishment needs?
Research

Employee    Interviews
Consumer  Surveys
  - Focus on females
Secret   Shopping
Employee
 Analysis
Search and Send
 Paper interviews with 9 open-
  ended questions

 Asked about:
  - Time of employment
  - Cosmetic line
  - “Search and Send”
  - Training
  - Employee emphasis
  - Incentives
Search and Send

 Most employees were familiar with “Search and
  Send”, but typically do not mention it to customers
  unless the item they seek is unavailable.

 Problem: The item is usually always available.
  Therefore, “Search and Send” is not being
  promoted.

 Employees believe incentives such as Macy*s
  money will encourage them to bring it up more.

Secret
Shopping
Search and Send

 1st Secret Shopping
  Experience:
  Omar Hernandez –
  Dadeland Mall

- Looking for MAC
eyeliner: in stock
- Lack of attention
- Asked questions
- Associate did not offer
the service
Search and Send
   2nd Secret Shopping
    Experience: Andrea Albanez &
    Yessenia Hernandez -
    International Mall

- Looking for Clinique foundation
– Product amount was not
available
- Specifically asked about a type
of shipping service
- “Search and Send” was
mentioned, but the associate
offered another product instead
of insisting on “Search and Send”
Search and Send

   Through this experiment and the
      results we gathered from the
    consumer surveys, we were able
        to determine that Macy*s
    cosmetics associates need to be
      encouraged to increase the
       awareness of “Search and
     Send” and make it a priority in
                 the sale.
