MY MACY'S

"We have been very encouraged by early results from our My Macy's district structure in capturing new sales opportunities in pilot markets over the past year. In fact, of the company's top 15 best-performing geographic markets in December, 13 were My Macy's pilot districts. We are moving quickly and decisively to expand this model to all of our markets so we can pursue sales-driving opportunities as we position ourselves to capture share in every local market."

Vendor Challenges 2009

At the Macy's vendor meeting top suppliers were advised on three key initiatives:

• Align your organizations to match Macy's new districts and regions.
• Invest your dollars in sell-thru at point-of-sale, not in sell-in.
• Re-allocate your resources and invest in the field to drive sales.
