Robert Roe Blog # 3

Happy Halloween, fellow interns!


I am excited to announce that at Robert Roe we are making moves - starting to carry new designers and bring in even more looks! It has been such an exciting process so far. I have gotten the opportunity to express my creative side via helping with the website layout and in store design. I really look up to my boss for how confident and excited she stays despite the roller coaster of emotions and trials that come with opening a new store. Being the only employee and intern, I feel like I have a lot of responsibility in the best possible way. I want Robert Roe to succeed so badly, and I am thrilled to see the progress we are making.

Right now we at Robert Roe are figuring out what kind of smaller, non-clothing items we can bring it to sell around the holiday season such as candles. The minute I heard Naseem wanted to carry any type of candle I was thrilled - I am a total candle girl! Love them. I have my own favorite brands of candles that I instantly suggested to Naseem, and we are continuing to search because we want the very best for Robert Roe! It is difficult to find the perfect balance between a reasonable price, beautiful designer, unique quality, and clean packaging that would make the candle brand a perfect addition to Robert Roe. While it may seem like a simple and quick process to find a new selling piece for the store, it really isn't! We aim to carry only the best at Robert Roe; we want to bring a whole new side of fashion to McMinnville! We made a commitment to carry unique designers and pieces and we will continue to do so!

I am really excited about the new experiences and opportunities that are happening at Robert Roe this upcoming month! On November 12th Robert Roe will be a spot for the Women of Willamette event. This is an organization that recognizes and brings together local female professionals and independent business owners to discuss and celebrate accomplishments as women in business! I am thrilled to announce that my boss, Naseem Momtazi will be recognized for Robert Roe. She is truly an inspiration and someone to look up to as a young female making her way in the fashion world!  On November 14th Robert Roe will hosting an event for the Young Professionals club - which is a Linfield organization! As an intern I will get the chance to help plan and orchestrate these events at Robert Roe.

As always, I am trying to pump up our facebook bag and Instagram! We have just started using FourSquare at Robert Roe in hopes that customers will check in and spread the word! I can't wait to see what new opportunities this will bring about.

Thank you for reading!
