In order to help customers find what they want quickly,it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly.This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.
Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:
1.New Releases Wall.
2.Film library.
3.Video Games.
New Releases Wall.Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases,and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store.The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits.When new titles come into the store,place them on this wall in alphabetical order.The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases.The New Releases Wall,including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves,holds about 350 titles.
Film Library.The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories.The films within each category are displayed alphabetically.Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:
Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles.A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.
Video Game.All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order.Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存),they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store.Therefore,video games are never displayed on the shelves.Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game.When a customer wants to rent a particular game,you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.
