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

In the dynamic home furnishings market, excelling in merchandising is key for companies to stay ahead. Mastering product knowledge, consumer behaviors, channels, timing, pricing, promotions, and replenishment is crucial for driving value and gaining a competitive edge. I recently found an insightful article on McKinsey & Company Retail Insights that, although focused on fashion companies, is highly relevant to all product categories, including home furnishings. Given the current economic landscape and unprecedented uncertainties, understanding and adapting to shifts in the merchandising model are vital for retailers and brands. As Merchants, navigating these changes and reacting strategically can pave the way for stability and growth in our businesses. The article highlights six significant shifts in the merchandising model: - Less is more during economic uncertainty - Consumer demand for newness and storytelling - Increasing importance of sustainability - Evolution and convergence of distribution channels - Data and insights are essential assets - Challenges in finding good talent For further insights on strategies to address these shifts and capitalize on them, I recommend reading the full article. Stay informed, adapt, and thrive in the evolving landscape of merchandising. #RetailInsights #Merchandising #BusinessGrowth

What is Meant by Merchandise? Many people believe that merchandising is simply about a T-shirt brand launched by an artist or creator. If you think that way, you are mistaken. There are many types of merchandise, such as: Promotional Merchandise Corporate Merchandise Event Merchandise Branded Merchandise Souvenir Merchandise Seasonal Merchandise We can broadly divide merchandise into two categories: Branded Merchandise Promotional Merchandise Branded Merchandise: Any company or organization that sells these products as their primary product line is dealing with branded merchandise. Example: Gucci, Rolex, and Louis Vuitton sell luxury and richness. They use watches and leather bags to convey luxury. When you purchase a Rolex watch, you receive a watch, a cloth, a tote bag, and a box—these are branded merchandise. Promotional Merchandise: When a company uses any type of product to promote their main business line, it is considered promotional merchandise. Example: Asian Paints gives away 5,000 T-shirts to painters in their workshops in major cities to advertise their brand. A fun fact is that Marvel and Disney initially used T-shirts to promote their films. Over time, people grew to love these T-shirts and showed interest in purchasing them. As a result, these T-shirts evolved into branded merchandise. Today, they still receive 30 to 40 percent of their revenue from merchandise licensing. In summary, while both branded and promotional goods help increase a company's awareness, their goals and effects are different. Branded merchandise focuses on selling goods that represent the company's image and values, often generating significant revenue. Promotional merchandise offers free gifts to raise awareness and attract new consumers. Businesses looking to strategically use items for marketing and sales must understand the differences between these two types. #merchandise #promotionalmerchandise #brandedmerchandise #gucci #rolex #Louisvuitton #marvel #disney #asianpaints #printondemand Image credits: Open AI

Visual Merchandising is not a one-size-fits-all strategy; with strategies varying across FMCG and lifestyle brands among others. At #LFTG, Shammi Raghuvanshi, VM Head at Reliance Retail, told us that in the FMCG industry, effective communication is key, considering a multitude of categories and SKUs to showcase. Also, while pricing takes the spotlight in FMCG brands like Big Bazaar - Future Retail, creating an ambience is vital for exclusive brand outlets like Shoppers Stop, Raymond Limited and Blackberrys Menswear Lifestyle brands demand a meticulous approach with a focus on in-store display, navigation, planograms, window displays, and cluster presentations, whereas FMCG outlets prioritise quick customer access and efficient billing. Shammi listed global challenges for VM Heads, including concept approvals, delivering exceptional customer experiences, maintaining brand consistency, and ensuring profitability. He added that the role of VM has evolved drastically in the past five years, now directly contributing to revenue. VM is not just about display; it's about driving sales through strategic merchandise placement. The dynamics of VM continue to transform, reflecting the ever-changing retail landscape. #VisualMerchandising #RetailStrategies #VMHeadInsights #RetailTrends #VMMeetup #LessonsFromTheGround
