What ホームセンター店員 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
ホームセンターでは、住まいの手入れ、補修、改善などを自ら行う際に必要な商品を総合的、系統的に品揃えしている。したがって、販売商品は完成品よりも材料や道具が多く、一般家庭で使われる木材、建材、道具・工具、塗料、水道・電気用品、インテリア用品、エクステリア用品をはじめ、日用品、ペット用品、園芸用品、カー用品、アウトドア用品まで幅広く取り扱っている。
接客業務では、顧客のニーズに応じて適切な商品を選択し、相談に乗るとともに、その使用方法や用品の安全性について必要なアドバイスを行う。顧客のニーズや意見を吸収して、次の商品企画、営業企画に反映させることも重要となる。
補充発注業務では、通常、週の前半は担当部門・売場の定番商品や特売商品の在庫点検、発注を行い、週の後半は注文した商品を検品して陳列する。期間ごとに企画を決めて売り出す特売商品は、見やすく買いやすいようにディスプレイする。
大規模な店舗では、接客業務を行う売場担当者、補充発注業務を行う仕入れ担当者、商品や売場の企画を行う販売促進担当者など、専門の担当者を設けていることが多い。
現在では、省エネや防災などの目的のために手軽に作ることのできるキットも充実しており、顧客のニーズも多様化している。
