Windows and merchandizing are more than simply the arrangement of products on the shelves. It is an integral component of the business image. It should be considered when you design your logo, business cards, brochures, letterhead, packaging, and product mix.

Is it Important?
Yes. It’s all about enhancing the
customer’s experience and maximizing your sales so that the customer returns.
So, you need to know your customer!!
Does it cost money? Yes, but . . .

Sidewalk or Passing Vehicle?
• If sidewalk – displays can be smaller and more intricate but the focal point should still be at eye level
• If a passing vehicle, displays need to be larger and the use of banners becomes effective
• Either way you have 3 to 5 seconds to catch their attention
![Page 27: Windows, Signs and Visual Displays Stewards of Your Brand€¦ · •If they stay longer, they spend more •70% of shopping is done after 5 pm •Keep lights on until 10 pm •Open](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050518/5fa25e394c72f158231cda3b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cautionary Note
• Posters covering the doors and windows, hand lettered signs, scotch tape, lack of lighting and untidy displays send a message that your business isn’t serious.
• If the window portrays “bargain basement” the customer will expect bargain basement prices regardless of the products in store

The Planning Process
• Create a focal point
• Use lines and shapes to plan your design
• Will your layout be horizontal or vertical
• Will the products be arranged in straight or curved lines, in a pyramid or circular shape
![Page 34: Windows, Signs and Visual Displays Stewards of Your Brand€¦ · •If they stay longer, they spend more •70% of shopping is done after 5 pm •Keep lights on until 10 pm •Open](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050518/5fa25e394c72f158231cda3b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Visualizing Your Space
• To experiment with this draw a rectangle roughly the same size as your display space
• Sketch geometric shapes to get a sense of an appealing layout
• Large triangle = represents an arrangement of giftware
• Long vertical rectangle = would represent signage placement
![Page 35: Windows, Signs and Visual Displays Stewards of Your Brand€¦ · •If they stay longer, they spend more •70% of shopping is done after 5 pm •Keep lights on until 10 pm •Open](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050518/5fa25e394c72f158231cda3b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Know Your Customer
• Merchandising is also about understanding the way customers shop
• You need to create an environment that attracts the customer, is comfortable to shop and encourages the customer to return
• Creating a retail store display that will grab customer’s attention can make all the difference in the world

Create a Retail Environment that:
• Communicates an image, lifestyle or value system for the product and your business
• Draws customers in because it reflects their own image, lifestyle or value system- OR one they’d like to adopt ̶ that’s what
they are responding to
• Select an image, and the message you want your products to convey
![Page 42: Windows, Signs and Visual Displays Stewards of Your Brand€¦ · •If they stay longer, they spend more •70% of shopping is done after 5 pm •Keep lights on until 10 pm •Open](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050518/5fa25e394c72f158231cda3b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Putting It Together
• Look at other windows and store displays for inspiration
• Be on the lookout for props at flea markets, antique shows and yard sales
• Use two colors, with a third as an accent
• Use many units of the same item in rows or groupings
• Create small groupings at different levels
• Use “pyramid” formations
• Use props that connect with the theme of your product line and the image you are trying to create

Focus
• Whatever display design or fixtures you use for your retail store displays, remember to keep it simple.
• Slatwalls are easy for any customer to locate when they are trying to find and to quickly understand how your products are arranged.
• Always have a major focus point for every display, whether it is in a shop window or on a back wall.

Stores with Handmade Products
• Merchandising is storytelling with handmade goods
• Materials and fabrication
• Celebrate the artist
• Flaws and all

Visual Balance
• Colors that are lighter toward the top of the display along with smaller products
• Darker shaded products that are larger in size should reside in the lower parts of the display
• Horizontal balance creates an atmosphere of order and comfort
![Page 57: Windows, Signs and Visual Displays Stewards of Your Brand€¦ · •If they stay longer, they spend more •70% of shopping is done after 5 pm •Keep lights on until 10 pm •Open](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050518/5fa25e394c72f158231cda3b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Visual Balance
• A grouping of many items on one side of he display can be balanced by one heavy item in just the right place on the other side
• We all respond emotionally to visual stimuli
• A lack of balance creates an impression of instability and anxiousness
