Lily Ferguson

I was responsible for the Online marketing for the

British heart Foundation.

I was given flexible hours to work; within having set deadlines each week. I would come into the store to take the pictures and if my manger had any trouble or needed some help with other jobs; However as it was a digital job I was working mainly from home.

My role involved taking photos using my camera (camera not required I just thought it would look more clean on the photo), of clothing and products that people had donated. Specifificlly dressing maniquins in the clothes donated, take front side and back views of the clothing, the brand lable, texture of the fabric and how it was needed to be washed. This allowed me to understand the importance of imagery for a customer when looking first glance at a photo when uploaded; and the information of the clothing.

I would sometimes suggest to the team some ideas to further the product views; from bringing lighting, supplies to create the photos to be more clean and clear for when uploaded to the site.

As well updating the website and maintaining a digital presence. Looking at new trends that will lure customers. Selecting clothing that are trending to sell online for the company (e.g.well known brands).

Overall I enjoyed learning about the website used for this company, the steps taken to make an online trending prescence for the company.

I worked alongside a photographer in the Gallery SW3 Studio.

The role was to look after the customers I went on shop errands and manage the living area space where people would wait for there photos to be taken. Give out free proseco if wanted. As well as afternoon tea.

I worked along side a women who had worked at the gallery for some time shadowing her. Learning her stratergey; from making customers feel welcome to the photo taking to the editing and selling process.

I worked as a waitress making and serving drinks. I was responsible for cash handling.

I helped maintain store cleanliness and organised stock.

My hours would be regular and I would do extra hours if asked. Work on weekends if neccesarray.
