Former TK Maxx employee reveals secret codes you need to know to get a REAL deal

Former TK Maxx employees described the best way to bargain in-store, as they revealed they use “secret codes” on garment labels to show if items are discounted.

Former veteran Daniel Baker told Channel 5’s TK Maxx: How are they? customers have to look for specific numbers on the labels of their preferred products to close a deal.

On the show, which aired at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Daniel explained that items labeled “two” meant they were real bargains and sold for a higher price from a different brand.

Meanwhile, other employees have uncovered the tricks behind discount discounters’ success, from polishing coat hangers to placing the most popular items in the back of the store.

‘Each tag has a number. The really exciting thing for a client is number two, because that means these are real shares that are selling at a higher price elsewhere,” Daniel told the documentary.

He explained that the three main codes are “one, two and seven”.

“For TK Maxx, one product and two represent a ‘closed buy’ that is not sold by any other brand,” Daniel continued.

Seven was packed, so it was packed a year ago, just like the Christmas crackers bought in January for the following year.

On the show, which aired at 7 p.m. on Sundays, Daniel explained that items labeled “two” meant they were real bargains and were sold at a higher price for a different brand.

“They’re surplus stocks and stuff,” he added.

The former employee explained that the “number one” items are good value for money, but they are not business.

“Get your money from the first type. “Just the volume they produce may mean they can consider it more economical,” he said.

“The real luck you seek is definitely two and seven.

“It’s also part of the treasure hunt when I walk into a store because I keep saying ‘oh, there are two guys, that’s the point,'” he added.

“Some of our products are designed for us, and some are designed by us,” TK Maxx said on the TV show.

“A small percentage come from previous seasons or timeless classics.

Another tip all TK Maxx employees know is to polish coat hangers so they don’t squeak.

“New deliveries of thousands of items arrive several times a week, and our staff often list this rapidly changing inventory by size and category, creating the ‘treasure hunt’ experience our customers love.”

And the former senior salesman explained that the sum of these hidden numbers is nine. However, he added that some of them are not used and not all of them attract the attention of customers.

The brand often uses tactics to attract customers.

Former team leader Jodie Evans, who worked at TK Maxx from 2010 to 2015, said in the documentary: “We used to have products that went off the rails. If you have three small sizes, we can put one at the top. † † one in the middle and one at the end.’

Explaining the tactics behind the plan, Daniel said, “We just wanted to have one of everything on the shelves because that meant that when[customers]saw it, they were determined to buy it there and then.”

Another tip that all TK Maxx employees are familiar with is waxing coat hangers.

“You can easily slide items off the rails without that dreadful squeaky, squeaky noise you hear so often at many retailers,” Jodie said.

Everything has been thought of at TK Maxx, down to the store layout.

“They put a lot of things people really want in the back of the shop,” Daniel said.

The seller explained that customers had no choice but to cross shelves full of other products to find the products they were really looking for.

The longer it takes to get the products, the more time they spend in-store and the more likely they are to leave with other purchases.

Tony Morgan, former head of visual merchandising at Selfridges, said in the documentary: “It’s about the journey of finding something, searching, putting it in your bag, and taking it home.”
