JYSK introduces cotton alternative in bed sheets 🛏 On 25 June, three new series of bed sheets came for sale in all JYSK stores worldwide: EDITH, VANJA, and VIVIAN. So, what is so special about the new series of sheets? Well, 35% of the material composition in these sheets will now be from lyocell, which is a fabric made from wood pulp from eucalyptus trees. 🌳 But how will it feel to have a bed sheet containing tree fibres? 🤔 💬 “Customers will not notice any difference in the quality of the bed sheets with more lyocell. In fact, the sheets will feel just as smooth and soft on the skin. It has good breathability, and offers long-lasting durability, making the sheets ideal for everyday use,” says Berit Stokholm Christiansen, Senior Category Manager, Duvets, Pillows, Bed linen & Sheets. But why actually introduce lyocell in bed sheets? Lyocell is a good alternative to cotton and offers several advantages for textile production. The most common plants used in the production of lyocell are crops like bamboo and eucalyptus trees that use less water and chemicals than cotton. 💧 💬 “One of the things we focus on in JYSK is the raw materials used for our products, and we are always looking for new materials that can be incorporated into our products. Lyocell is an interesting alternative to cotton as the amount of water used in the production process is lower than for cotton production,” says Berit. #proudtobeJYSK #cotton #fabric

Did you know that we have a JYSK store inside our Head Office? 🛒 Or at least, it looks like a store. 👀 It’s our Test Store, designed to determine the optimal placement of products in our assortment. 🪑 💬 “All our product categories are updated twice a year, and we use the Test Store to practically check how our products fit into the space in our stores to see if we get the right result. We have a system with useful data that we rely on for space planning, but it’s essential for us to test it in real life to ensure the correct placement where the space is utilised in the best possible way,” says Katrine Veggerby, Project & Team Leader, Space Management at JYSK. Additionally, it’s important to consider the visual design when placing the products. They need to be visually pleasing in terms of shape and colour, so they’re presented in the best possible way to our customers. 💬 “We also use the Test Store to work with new ideas for developing new space solutions. When the final space plan is created, it’s sent out to our stores for the store staff to implement. If they can implement it correctly, that’s when we know we’ve done a good job. We succeed when they succeed,” says Katrine. The Test Store is a crucial part of the process of managing space in JYSK stores around the world. The process involves close collaboration between the Space Management and Purchasing departments, with the common goal of presenting our products in the best possible way to provide a great customer experience. ✨ See the Test Store below. 👇 #proudtobeJYSK #retail #store #spacemanagement #visual

Significant change to stores with new Powerline 🛒 The Powerline in our stores has been updated and will be different in the future. Instead of solely relying on campaign offers, it will feature some of our “Everyday Low Price” products as well. 🌟 The Powerline runs down the middle of the aisle when you enter a store, making it an ideal spot to display some of our most popular products. 👀 💬 “Previously, we prioritised showcasing our campaign products in the Powerline, but when the prices returned to normal, they were not as attractive. With this change, the products in our Powerline will always be attractive as most of them are part of our Everyday Low Price selection,” says Carsten Weinkouff, Executive Vice President of Retail Development, B2B and Customer Service Centre. Due to market instability and inflation, despite its recent decline, many retailers have been very aggressive on pricing and placement of their products. We wanted to respond to that in our own JYSK way, and therefore we set up a test of the new concept in our stores in Croatia. ✨ 💬 “Counting the hours saved in every JYSK store results in significant savings. This allows employees to spend more time on customer service, which means greater sales potential,” says Crystal Qingxia Wu, Regional Head of Sales for JYSK in Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The changes have had a clear impact. Sales went up and the feedback from our stores in Croatia was positive. That’s why JYSK has decided to make the change in all stores. 🎯 #proudtobeJYSK #retail #store #powerline

Türkiye shows huge potential in first JYSK year 🚀 It has been almost 14 months since Türkiye was introduced to “harika bir teklif” - Turkish for “a great offer”. 🛒 Four stores in, the Turkish adventure is progressing nicely after an educational beginning. 🙌 💬 “It’s always interesting to open in a new country. There’s a lot of trial and error, when it comes to the assortment and what the customers in a new country react to. So, it’s been a great learning experience, and I’m very confident in our future in Türkiye,” says Mikael Nielsen, EVP Retail. The confidence is based on the current sales figures and the fact that the customers in Türkiye are embracing the Scandinavian style. ✨ 💬 “Our products have been really well received, and especially homeware and decorative articles are selling very well. We’ve been like a breath of fresh air, it seems,” explains Expansion Director, Mikael Albæk Kristensen. #proudtobeJYSK #retail #expansion
