Question

Explain the characteristics of visual merchandise

Answer 1

Visual merchandising is an art & it defines the artist in you. It mainly involves being extremely patient and still keeping up the pace at your work. You need to go hand in hand with the operations team, which also means, a knack to know how to increase your sales with the best of the display methods you showcase. It does involve a lot of risk, a risk once taken right will build your confidence over the next displays you start.

Let me give you an example:

Always start your day with basic hygiene, like- taking a floor walk. (see how a gym works out for you now? ) It shows the patience you have to check every nook and corner regularly before your customer flow starts.

Good listening skills are a must! why?

There will always be a reason behind what a team member from the operations side has. Let’s say you may want to display only 6 sets of the merchandise you have & the OTM (read-operations team member) suggests 8 in terms of selling. There needs to be a common ground you can settle on based on customer demands. This would only add a feather to your cap and a bonus point to the OTM.

So it requires soft skills & take my word for it, everyday you will learn something new!

All the best :)
