Visual merchandising is the practice of displaying your product and organizing your store to drive sales, elevate your brand, and provide a positive shopping experience for customers. It covers: the store exterior, interior, layout and display.
Here are four tips for Creating an Effective Visual Merchandising SOP:
If your products change often, or if you’re always looking to evolve your brand image, your guidelines need to reflect that. Every store needs to be kept up to date with the latest brand movements and ideas.
That new line of products you’re rolling out? Where should those be placed within each store? Where specifically should the product go?
And don’t forget about seasonality. How should the layout of the store be altered for specific seasons or holidays ?
Overall, make sure you keep procedures crystal clear for what should be displayed, where, and when.
Are you worried that your descriptions for the store layout may get misunderstood? Add digital visuals to your guidelines to help with clarity on how exactly things should be executed and how they should look.
By using a digital imagery of how the ideal store should look, you can help ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of the overall goal.
Not all stores are equal. While a standalone location may have more space to house all your products, a shop in a mall might be smaller.
In your visual merchandising guidelines, make sure to explain how to handle space variations between each store. Which products should be placed together if space doesn’t allow for them to have their own sections? Which products should you display more of if you have extra space?
