Do you know how powerful visual merchandisers are? They can directly influence a customer's purchasing decision with their creative skills. The same products look different with a visual merchandiser's touch, eventually retaining that 'newness' every store aspires for and every customer hopes to experience. Indian retail is yet to fully realize the potential of visual merchandisers and how their creativity can impact the overall business. The illusion of bad to rad and old to gold is what this group of creative souls can bring to the retail table! Do you agree? #VisualMerchandising #RetailIndustry #CreativeSkills #BusinessImpact

All corporate employees should be required to work retail first. …… When I started my role at Cotopaxi as the visual merchandising manager, there was no visual merchandising department. For the first few months of my job, I wanted to work the sales floor. It was imperative that I get to know the product, the customer, the space, the fixtures, and the overall Cotopaxi experience. After all, the retail store is where the brand lives and breathes. Most importantly, during that time I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with the retail staff before moving into a full leadership role. If you haven’t worked a customer service position and your company has a corporate and retail presence, I highly recommend getting some floor time. You will gain an even greater respect for the sales associates. They are the front line workers— not only are they experts on product knowledge, they often take on the burden of handling unavoidable encounters with the general public. Most customers are great, but not all are best behaved. It can be a demanding job in ways you may not expect. I formed a connection with the retail teams in those initial months on the sales floor, and that connection continued and sustained even as more and more stores were built. In order to develop a program from scratch it required building a new foundation of standards and best practices. Teams were expected to execute and maintain these new visual directives. This took a lot of training and practice to form a strategy that was successful and consistent across multiple doors, especially without the aid of mapping software. It was a very manual process and there was a constant stream of communication. Being hands-on and showing the “why’s” rather than telling the rules was always my method to teaching. I’d like to think we had a mutual respect. The retail fleet grew from five stores when I started to twenty stores when I finished. The timing never feels great with a lay off, but it was especially hard right before a seasonal flip and being the only visual merchandiser for the entire company. My immediate thought was, “what about the retail teams? I can’t leave them hanging.” And then I remembered the foundation that we built together. The teams have shown me time and time again how capable and empowered they are to create consistent and compelling visuals. If I am proud of anything, it is working with the retail teams— learning from them, and in turn watching them learn, grow, and do great work. ❤️ #retail #leadership #opentowork #visualmerchandising #management #training #collaboration

“All corporate employees should be required to work retail first.” You truly don’t know what it’s like to be hands-on, customer facing, unless you experience it. And it can change the course of your ability to show up and succeed - because a brand’s central identity is about elevating their consumer’s experience.

Let’s talk about the entrance 👀 The entrance isn’t about your loyal customers, it’s about the customers that always walk by and never walk in because they don’t know if your store is “for them” The entrance should be the “IMAGE” of your business. So as a visual merchandiser we are tasked to do this job of grabbing a potential new customer’s eyes before they even walk in. We all know Fall/Winter we see more neutrals, more greys/blacks, and a whole lot of outerwear. So step into the consumers shoes and think 🤔 “I’ve walked past a lot of stores today and it looks like they are all selling the same thing, so how do I decide which place to spend my hard earned money????” That is why Visual Merchandisers are essential to the retail industry. This is why I love my job and I am so passionate about it. I get to set the tone for that new customer that doesn’t know what they are walking into. I am setting that entrance to grab potential customers that may have thought our store wasn’t for them. Below is a video of the entrance of the store I work for. The first was beautifully done to let you see the “Many Shades of Grey” and the next was how I added that “Pop of Color” to show that this season doesn’t have to be drab and you can still experiment with color combinations during the Fall/Winter! #visualmerchandiser #visualmerchandising #merchandiseplanner #merchandisecoordination #visualcommercial #visualmerchandisersareessential #fashionmerchandising #retail

Retail isn't just about making stores aesthectically appealing but also adding value and giving them functionality to improve CX. An opportunity exists in the field of space planning and space optimzation.

What is better - a Jack Of All Trades 🤡 or a Master Of One 😇? In India, our professional upbringing often molds us into Jacks Of All Trades, a notion vividly reflected in roles like that of a visual merchandiser. The expectations are high, requiring a unique blend of skills ranging from aesthetic flair and digital visualisation to material translation, vendor management, and even physical endurance for overnight installations. It's a comprehensive skill set, demanding mastery across various domains, including cost-effective practices and bargaining skills. Contrastingly, international standards often celebrate the prowess of specializing in one's core competency. Rather than burdening a single visual merchandiser with a plethora of responsibilities, each function is dedicated to a specialist with a profound skill set, ensuring unparalleled quality in every aspect of visual merchandising. Reflecting on my experiences collaborating with diverse international brands, it's evident that this tailored approach brings superior outcomes compared to a more generalised one. Specialisation enhances the quality and efficiency of each function within visual merchandising, setting a benchmark for excellence in the field. #visualmerchandising #retail #india
