Perfect Petzzz Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know how much inventory to stock? We provide recommendations
based on location, the size of the mall, and past experience. We recommend reorders
based on sales volume.
How do I hire or interview employees? How do I identify the right
employee? How do I identify the employee who is good at selling? We cover these
topics and other important questions in our training. It's all based on what we've
learned from past operators.
Who do I contact if I have a problem with a product? We have a
customer support department you can contact at info@PerfectPetzzz.com. Everyone
in our office will be happy to respond to any problems you might encounter.
How do I get a good space in the mall of my choice? The earlier
you choose a space the better. If you have a mall in mind, contact them and then
contact us.
How should I dress for work? You are representing your business
and should dress appropriately. You do not have to necessarily wear a suit, but
make sure you feel you are representing your business well and your employees will
follow your lead. We advise a "no jeans" rule for you and your employees. We can
provide art work for you to make your own shirts for yourself and your employees.
Should I work normal 9 to 5 hours? How about my employees? It depends
on mall hours, but generally we advise that you pace yourself to be ready for December
and the holiday rush. Try to keep a good balance when scheduling employees and yourself.
Remember, you will be on your feet. A general guideline for employees may be 4-hour
shifts. The more you are there, the better you are able to control things but you
don't want to burn yourself out the first month. Keep in mind that most malls are
open 7-days a week, and they often increase their operating hours during the holiday
season.
Should I store Perfect Petzzz products in a storage space? At a
cart, your inventory is your display and you have no "back room" to store extra
inventory. Some malls do provide storage that you can rent, but many do not. Our
operators use everything from their cars or SUVs to their garages or extra bedrooms
for storage. Whatever works best for you to have extra inventory relatively close
by.
What types of records do I need to keep? Our operators keep weekly
reports of their sales and this helps us to determine how they are performing, and
helps to determine their product reorders. The most important thing to keep track
of is your inventory. We recommend that at least once a week you take physical stock
of your inventory and keep records of your sales. Eliminating shrinkage is the best
way to increase your bottom line!
Is customer service really important? By all means, one customer
that keeps coming back is worth a lot! Chances are, they tell their friends about
you and so on down the line. Before you know it, you have all the customers you
can handle just from good hype. The customer is always right.
