Prior to starting at Mainfactor, I knew much more about in-person retail, and it has been beneficial to have the opportunity to understand both ends of the spectrum. I have gained a lot of hands-on experience, including setting up online storefronts and creating product shells and filling out the information necessary in order to launch them as products on the storefront. I have gained an understanding of the importance of warehouse communication, and I strive to place purchase orders and comp orders in an organized and efficient fashion. I have learned about search engine optimization (SEO) and why it is important to keep an online storefront organized and up to date. I have gained experience in communicating expectations and roadblocks, and providing deliverables before deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>My internship at Mainfactor has taught me a lot about independence and when not to be independent. Since I started in May, I have gained more responsibility and understanding of the company\u2019s operations from the top down. This experience has very much strengthened my communication skills. I have learned how to frame my contributions, when to problem-solve, when to admit that I need help, and how to communicate that effectively. This experience has strengthened my technical skills, specifically using Shopify and Excel. I also have strengthened my attention-to-detail. SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), prices, titles, URLs, etc. can be significantly and negatively affected by typos or slight organizational mistakes, and I have noticed myself making less small mistakes as time goes on, and more importantly, noticing them during a final sweep before delivering anything to the client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-4 medium-pull-8 columns fox-sidebar\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-offset-1 medium-9 columns\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"footer\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":28586,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-28","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/28","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28586"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/28\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/tcornell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
