Why is VM Important?• Visual Merchandising helps to engage and inspire
shoppers• To encourage shoppers to buy more of the products
you want them to buy• To increase your sales, margin and return on space
Visual Merchandising is communicating with the target
audience in windows and stores by attracting, connecting and
engaging with customers

Making a Good First Impression• Looking in, can you see the store or just a window
display?• Is it clean? (dust, dirt and cobweb free)• Are all posters and products current and still looking
fresh?• How is the lighting?

enters your store• Suggest the type of merchandise you carry• Promotional vs Institutional Displays
