How Do HD Aprons Influence SECN Recruiting Strategies?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the influence of Home Depot (HD) aprons on SECN recruiting strategies. Participants noted that HD employees are prohibited from taking their aprons outside the store, as they are either shredded or repurposed when no longer in use. However, kid-sized aprons from Saturday workshops are available, which can be utilized creatively for recruiting purposes. Additionally, gift cards can be obtained without requiring a monetary deposit, providing a potential incentive for recruitment efforts.

I just wanted to share my thoughts on HD...

On my 7 hour drive home from Wave 1 I thought about how HD employees wear an apron and how we wear our apron, so I went to my local HD when I got home and showed them the recruiting flyer from the SECN and the gal called the manager. They are not allowed to take those aprons out of the building - when they are no longer a HD employee those aprons are shredded or turned into rags. But the gal did tell me there were the kid sized ones from the workshops they do every Saturday. So if anyone can fit into a kid sized one or somehow attach it to the front of an existing apron - find a kid to take to HD on Saturday to get one!!!

Otherwise they did let me take some of gift cards (without adding any $$) - although she had to ask the manager about that too. So if they do say you have to put $$ on them - tell them you just want a cent on it. These might be good to have displayed or put in an envelope for suspense.

Either way I think tying the PC 'Tools' and HD 'Tools' to help around the house is a great thing!! Especially if you need to justify spending $$ on tools for the kitchen - you may then be able to pass along the $$ for the garage/shop!!

Just my thoughts!!

"I have the tools - now wouldn't you like to earn them for your kitchen too - and in addition a chance to fill either the garage or workshop with some great tools from the HD using a $10,000.00 gift card?"

Or something like that...
