feeling when you walk into a store only because their window display was practically screaming out to you and you just couldn\u2019t resist? Or when you enter a store \u2018just to browse\u2019, probably while waiting for your ride &#8211; and you end up buying loads because everything was just <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">appealing? We have all, at some point, been victims of the magic of visual merchandising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A store that has a strong visual merchandising strategy is making all your decisions for you from the moment you first get sight of it. From what gets you in, to what you see first inside, the path you take, the direction of your gaze, what you take for a closer look, what you pick, and what you buy &#8211; everything is carefully crafted by the ingenious merchandisers. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions?language=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every decision<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is made for us and all of it fits with our personality as a shopper. This also exponentially improves our experience by making it more exciting, convenient, and fulfilling.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_188946887.jpg\" alt=\"Visual Merchandising Store\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_188946887.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_188946887-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_188946887-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a retailer, focusing on the visual experience of your store, can prove to be very rewarding. Your window is the cheapest form of advertising &#8211; helping you bring in people who may have otherwise not thought of entering your store. Once they are in, every small aspect from your store\u2019s layout to how the products are arranged &#8211; all have an impact on your shoppers\u2019 decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-platform-to-showcase-brand-personality\"><\/span><b>A Platform To Showcase Brand Personality<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A major aspect of your brand\u2019s identity is the personality of the brand. Any brand strategy talks about showcasing this personality to the world. You pick out the character traits you can associate with your brand the best and combine them, making your brand very human. Personality elevates your brand equity and helps your audience relate to your brand. For instance, <a href=\"http:\/\/fabrikbrands.com\/what-your-brand-personality-says-about-you\/\">Nike&#8217;s personality<\/a> is seen as &#8216;rugged&#8217;, &#8216;spirited&#8217;, and &#8216;cool&#8217; among other traits. People are able to make a connection between that and their sporty, athletic side.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_771700018.jpg\" alt=\"Site merchandising\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_771700018.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_771700018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_771700018-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All successful brands that have created a dent, have a very particular personality attached to them. Seeing a personality makes your brand more \u2018real\u2019 in the audience\u2019s mind &#8211; making their personal connect stronger. They feel like they are a part of your brand too. Every touchpoint where your audience gets to interact with your brand, is an opportunity to put across brand personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your retail store is a great platform to exhibit this personality, and visual merchandising is the way of doing that. Your store is the face of your brand and the visuals decide how others perceive you. An off-white wall, minimalistic decor, and simple but convenient shelf arrangement can portray your brand as calming and serene. It is incredible how the same physical store space can be transformed into a vibrant, cheery space by painting one wall yellow and having colourful displays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"for-fresh-customer-experiences\"><\/span><b>For Fresh Customer Experiences<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When brand personality is combined with visual merchandising, it leads to extremely innovative and fresh customer experiences. In today\u2019s world, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/retail-vue\/customer-experience-an-opportunity-your-brand-cant-ignore\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not something any retailer can ignore. It has gone on to become an especially important way of distinguishing oneself from competitors, and staying ahead of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thisisstory.com\/\">STORY<\/a> is an incredible example of innovative retail experiences where visuals play a major role &#8211; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set in a 2000 square foot store located in Manhattan\u2019s 10th Ave. retail corridor, STORY is a retail concept that takes the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery and sells things like a store. That means every four to eight weeks, STORY completely reinvents itself -from the design to the merchandise \u2013 with the goal of bringing to light a new theme, trend or issue<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ve create 41 different concepts including Color, Making Things, Love, and Made in America, working with partners including American Express, Intel, and Target. Constants of its ever-changing model: a view of retail that goes beyond the transaction and a permanent space where the experience is everything and collaboration tells a STORY. With the brand vision of bringing a new \u2018story\u2019 to retail with concept stores, STORY completely captures the attention of any customer who walks in, creating a wholesome and extremely fresh experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BrU0djBhOVb\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-04-at-7.06.06-PM.png\" alt=\"Site merchandising - STORY\" width=\"750\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-04-at-7.06.06-PM.png 934w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-04-at-7.06.06-PM-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-04-at-7.06.06-PM-768x331.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer experience, however, also goes much beyond brand personality to a more functional aspect. Humans are visual creatures. A major portion of our experience is made up of what we see and how we feel about it. If you walk into a shop with a very complex store layout, untidy shelves, and tasteless decor, you would not want to buy anything from there &#8211; even if they have clothes that you\u2019d love. This is true of your shoppers too. As humans, we tend to deviate towards experiences that are at-least easy on the eyes &#8211; even if not particularly pleasing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"increasing-sales-by-making-shopping-convenient\"><\/span><b>Increasing Sales By Making Shopping Convenient<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-merchandised store is a shopper-friendly store. Customer experience isn\u2019t just made up of the aesthetics, theme, and structure of the store. The primary reason the shoppers are there &#8211; to buy something &#8211; must not be a herculean task. When product display and sorting is done efficiently, shopping becomes convenient. And when shopping is convenient, your shoppers will turn into buyers much faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A traditional definition of merchandising goes like this &#8211; \u2018Merchandising refers to the variety of products available for sale and the display of those products in such a way that it stimulates interest and entices customers to make a purchase\u2019. The phrase \u2018entices customers to make a purchase\u2019 talks about the one primary goal of visual merchandising. The core aim is to maximise sales. Understanding the psyche of shoppers and knowing how to place products in a way that it appeals to them is central to the merchandising story.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_139906981.jpg\" alt=\"Site merchandising\" width=\"750\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_139906981.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_139906981-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_139906981-768x533.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well organised display of products puts the shop and the shopper in sync. What shoppers may want, the method they will use to search for something, and how they will navigate through the products are things every retailer should keep in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-merchandised store certainly pays off well. With the convenience of finding and shopping, average order values (AOV) increase exponentially &#8211; you end up selling much more to each individual shopper. It gets better &#8211; once a shopper is comfortable with a store, they keep coming back there. So by merchandising well and making shopping convenient, you can increase customer lifetime value drastically. Did you know that it costs <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/customer-acquisition-retention\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">five times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as much to attract a new customer, than to keep an existing one? A well thought-out merchandising plan certainly offers more than just a penny saved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"extending-the-magic-online\"><\/span><b>Extending The Magic Online<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual merchandising has now become a clear success strategy for physical retail stores. But with the retail ecommerce market becoming such an integral part of people\u2019s lives, merchandising is expanding as a requirement for this platform too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Site merchandising covers everything from the homepage of the website to the the different categories, how they are arranged and what is shown in each product\u2019s page. An efficient plan here could be what makes your ecommerce website stand out among the multitudes of other options your shopper has.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_448468885.jpg\" alt=\"Site merchandising\" width=\"750\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_448468885.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_448468885-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_448468885-768x519.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of elements fall under visual merchandising online:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"look-and-feel-of-the-website\"><\/span><b>Look And Feel Of The Website<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b>This is the most basic aspect. It includes the colours, the font, other design elements, and the basic structure of the website. Here is where you can experiment with bringing out your brand personality. Making this as uniquely \u2018you\u2019 as possible while, at the same time, making it easy for the shopper to navigate through is the sweet spot you must aim for. This component is key in deciding the user experience for your shoppers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"homepage\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Homepage<\/b><b><\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The homepage is the first impression your shoppers will have of you. You have just a few seconds to prove yourself as a place they will want to shop from. The homepage must be a balanced mix of information to understand what you are, an indication of the kind of products you sell, the value you have to offer them, and an easy way of navigating through your entire website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"site-search\"><\/span><b>Site Search<\/b><b><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Site search is the online equivalent of asking a store assistant\u2019s help. Just like how you\u2019d expect shop assistants to know the answers to where to find something, shoppers expect your site\u2019s search results to show exactly what they asked for. An <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">efficient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/products\/ai-powered-personalized-search\/\">site-search<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tool is essential for good site merchandising.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"product-videos\"><\/span><b>Product Videos<\/b><b><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being able to visualize the product in a video removes a lot of hesitation that some shoppers may have about shopping online.

A well-merchandised site today has relevant recommendations, good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/products\/ai-powered-personalized-search\/\">personalized search<\/a> results, and a well-designed site and homepage. These are, today, seen by shoppers as the basic necessities. A site without these are automatically disregarded, and the shopper moves on to a different retailer where these experiences aren\u2019t compromised. They make up the top of a site-merchandising checklist.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few other things that you can do in fashion retail to make your merchandising strategy even better. Having collections of products in your homepage catches the eye of your shopper and increases the chances of them browsing more. Seasonal &amp; theme based collections can help your shoppers find products relevant to the time of the year and for different occasions. You can also create collections of products that match a current fashion trend to engage with your style-conscious shoppers. In many fashion ecommerce teams, these collections are curated by the styling and site merchandising teams.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Collections-for-website.png\" alt=\"Visual merchandising online \" width=\"824\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Collections-for-website.png 824w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Collections-for-website-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Collections-for-website-768x489.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VueStyle is an AI Styling Assistant built keeping in mind these teams &#8211; aiming to make their work faster and more efficient.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VueStyle\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/products\/outfit-recommendations\/\">Style Curation Tool<\/a> is an AI-powered solution to make your collection curation processes far simpler.
