During this time of most retailers now starting to re-open I thought it would be useful to detail some key Visual Merchandising tips to assist retailers post Covid 19 ;

1. Make an impact within your window displays to really welcome your customers back to your store ! Your window displays are one of your stores/ brands biggest advertising spaces – so create a scheme which reflects your brand image and will appeal to your customers.
2. Ideas for window display installations could also follow trends for celebrating and conservation of our planet ! Great inspiration can be taken from brand’s like Selfridges with their ” Project Earth and Thank you” concepts.
3. Consider creating interaction within your window and use QR codes so that customers can interact with you virtually via their smart phones.

Welcome to my new website !

After 14 years of running my freelance Visual Merchandising training and consultancy business I thought it was about time to give my consultancy business a website all of its own!

I have been working with Elena who owns Elenique Skin Clinic in Fulham London for almost four years now. My consultancy with Elena started prior to her opening her new business premises in 2016 with Visual Merchandising training. 

I now work with Elena to create her window and in store displays three times per year and March prior to lock-down saw us creating beautiful Spring displays – which are my favorite installation to date ! We created some beautiful cherry blossom trees which created the height needed in Elena’s windows and promoted the fabulous skin care range, Intraceuticals which is a brand Elena uses during her treatments.

Join me for a free webinar I’m running on behalf of Central St Martins UAL on 26th May at 12pm UK time.
