Kelley Sheaffer

Over the past six years I have built a loyal clientele of more than 150 clients as a personal shopper. I shop for a variety of families of all ages around the Upstate.

I worked as a Merchandising Assistant Manager (ASM) for Macy’s in the women’s RTW (Ready-to-Wear) departments. As an ASM, I was responsible for merchandising and new product placement, setting and maintaining visual aspects daily, weekly, and monthly depending on vendor transition, trends, and holiday seasons. I also completed weekly markdowns, sale sets, and assisted in merchandise fulfillment.

As a sales specialist, I was responsible for maintaining vendor standards and merchandise presentation. I was also responsible for customer service in my assigned area of Better Sportswear.

As the Clinique Counter Manager, I was responsible for the day to day counter sales, operations, and other related business. I was responsible for leading and organizing promotional events. I worked with the assistant regional manager to order and maintain on hand product.

As an ASM, I worked in multiple areas of the store over the years. The majority of the time I worked in the RTW (Ready to Wear) areas of Better Sportswear, Moderate Sportswear, Ladies Dresses and Suits, Juniors, Intimate Apparel, and Seasonal Merchandise (Coats and Swimwear). I also spent time in Cosmetics, Ladies Shoes, Accessories, and the Home Store areas. I had opening and store closing responsibilities, customer service relations, interviewing new associates and completing the hiring process, annual associate reviews, and implementation of disciplinary actions.

I originally started as a contingent weekend sales associate in Moderate Sportswear while in high school. Once I started college, I worked part time as a night and weekend sales associate in Intimate Apparel, Ladies Dresses and Suits, and Seasonal Merchandise. After college graduation, I accepted another position in the store as an ASM in early 2001.
