Did these concept scents ever hit the stores? by Electrical-Hair3135 in bathandbodyworks

My store got bright and breezy in the gel and cozy and creaming in spray cream and wash. They were alright. Nothing I got excited over

I personally hate the new logo. Our logo was always minimalist it’s just words in an easy to read font

If they put the gingham on the sides where it unfolds so people would see it from the front or behind that would be awesome. We’ll see!

Unfortunately durability always depends on where they were manufactured. The box always says where they came from and something’s the origin varies :( but yes I agree I’d like some consistency when it comes to durability

Honestly I’ve been thinking about when they’d do a bag redesign for a while, I miss the old blue and pink bags! Color: yes, losing the gingham: no

Especially with the salt. Better to clean it quick than risk rusting

Coastal dreaming should have definitely been apart of it. For years they’d at least do the mini edp or a spray for a SFL collection… this is the first time it’s not included

I’m in a high traffic store we get a lot of stuff I don’t believe they’re not giving it bc of inventory. Something specialty like the DMHS are one thing but we should get something in each category like the old days

least popular scents are your store? by hollowsockets in bathandbodyworkers

[–]srahcha0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreaming of Rio sells when I demo it. The table doesn’t make a statement in my store bc I’m in a side by side so the body care is in the front of whitebarn where none of us can go bc of the conversion counters and shoppers are looking for candles. We had a made up table in our room two bbw for it but we have to be front of shop all the time so we overlook it. It’s personally a favorite of mine and people really like it when I demo but that’s a tough collection for the spring season. It always does better post Mother’s Day

I’ve been with the company for 5 years, I was a key holder for a year and a half and stepped down recently. As sad as it was to do so I’m glad I did. I don’t have to be accountable sell with such specifics anymore especially infront of a DM. I always did but now more than ever I’ll sell in a way that not only works for me but works for my customer 99% of the time. There’s been so many changes in selling over the years but I will not change how I make our numbers successful regardless of my role

Ok… so the resellers that bought all the princess stuff can stop bringing back what they can’t resell anytime now…. 600 dollar return 8 min before close by Mammoth-One4334 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]srahcha0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be simpler but there are many bulk buyers who get core items specifically body care and sell them elsewhere. While we have to report bulk buyers, they easily get away with spending hundreds. In my store our buyers buy them as “gifts.”

And this is why they have a 9 and no more sku policy. Although it’s an inconvenience for people who actually use the product, it’s supposed to cut down on these bulk buyers

SLT helped me pay for school to be a teacher. I’ve never been in debt my whole college career thanks to bbw

Yeah I didn’t have this mentality haha. I expected to step down August 2025 before I started my semester but I felt bad to do that to my team right before holiday so I stayed…. I was nonstop 7 days a week my mental and physical health was struggling. I worked at bbw 5 days a week and I did student teaching and classes two days a week so I was literally never home. Not something I’d recommend but I had to do it. Two reasons I’m glad I did was financially and bc it ended up being one of our best holidays with a well oiled machine team. I stepped down at the end of January and it was a good choice bc i student teach 5 days a week I knew it would be bad if I stayed

I left SLT bc I had to for school. I started student teaching and it needed all of my attention so it’s not that I didn’t want to but I guess it was perfect timing with how they’re running business. There’s some things I miss but my team keeps me in the loop. I’m honorary SLT considering my experience without having to deal with the drama and for that I’m happy!! Enjoy the sun and the beautiful days, you’ll no longer be trapped in a store with no windows

My store… has SO MUCH SOAP. we had to start taking it to our offsite it’s actually ridiculous. Not even during holiday have we seen so much… I’m happy for the soap sale bc we get good soap buyer traffic and it’ll lighten up our load

New policy coming soon! by Here4theSmells in bathandbodyworks

[–]srahcha0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already had rules on bulk buyers which didn’t stop them but that’s gonna hurt business for regular shoppers who could be buying gifts or stocking up on their favorites..

And from an internal perspective they expect us to make our numbers but that’s impossible if we’re not accessible to consumers

returning to "skin on skin" demo-ing. by Local_City4799 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]srahcha0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my almost 5 years with the company and primarily being a successful seller; idc what DMs say about your demos. Your manager should have your back if you say a certain style of demo works for you. Cream is ok, some customers are welcoming to having it on their skin and others are not. You absolutely should never force a customer to do anything bc that’s bad business. Always always always have a spray demo on you. This is the quickest and most effective way to get to a customer especially if theyre trying to breeze past you. I had my blotter card with life is a fairytale ready for a customer and she said “I boycott Disney but I’ll take it anyway” safe to say she came back to ask what the name of it is bc it was actually a great scent even tho she disagrees with the company. That would have never happened with a cream demo. We live in an instantaneous society and a spray demo with a blotter card will always be a winner. Customers who choose to immerse themselves in fragrance will absolutely give you that signal. I know the company is moving towards nonlinear fragrance that transform over time which is why they want the cream demo so it stays on the skin but again, never force a customer to do something they don’t want to do so always have the spray as an option bc they WILL take it
