  • Utilization of strategic merchandising to beauty trends and analysis of client demographic data lifted the store profit by 1.3 million over the previous year.
  • Created a training strategy that focused primarily on the use of digital tools to capture client loyalty and educated employees on client purchasing history. The addition of these new training behaviors elevated the average dollar sale by 1%, and loyalty acquisition increased by 6%.
