When it comes to sales – whether for FMCG or Consumer Durables or other consumer products companies, meticulous strategy and planning go into remaining on top of the game. Integrating a reliable visual merchandising software is one common strategy.
Amongst the practices commonplace, yet differentiated and effective, in the retail industry, visual merchandising is right there at the top of the list. Well executed floor plans, attractive, three-dimensional displays, special packaging and posters, and right product placement – all to pique customer interest and maximize their sales. Companies are vying against one another to grab the same set of eyeballs to drive their sales at retailers up and get the cash registers ringing. Retail and sales strategies to drive topline are incomplete if they don’t boost of a well-conceptualized visual merchandising campaign to garner the desired attention for the products and offers.
As effective as it is – Visual Merchandising – both campaign design and execution, come with their set of challenges.
