What 衣料品販売 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

洋服を中心とする服飾用品雑貨を販売する。
 来店客が気持ちよく買い物できるよう、店を美しく保つことは販売の基本である。商品がそろっているか、きれいに配置(展示)されているかなどをチェックする。売れ筋の商品をディスプレイし、来店客に店の個性をアピールすることも重要である。
 販売する商品の特性を常に把握し、素材・色・形その他の流行を十分知っていること、顧客にアドバイスする立場上、販売員自身がその店の商品にふさわしい着こなしをしていることも大切である。
 ファッションアドバイザー、ブティック店員あるいはスタッフとも呼ばれ、店舗によっては、単に商品を売るだけでなく、顧客の好みに合わせて品物を選び、服飾の組合せを考えトータルファッションとしてアドバイスできることが重要である。
 固定客づくりのため、名簿を作成してダイレクトメールを送るなど、来店回数を増やすための業務をすることもある。ホームページやSNSなどでコーディネートの提案を行うこともある。
 経験を積むと、商品の仕入れや在庫管理を任されることもある。その際は、在庫の管理まで含めて与えられた予算内で、より売上に貢献でき、利益の高い商品を仕入れるよう求められる。
