Visual merchandising in retail stores is a proven strategy
that helps to draw clients to a store, drive emotional connection, and increase
sales. However, visual merchandising alone will not be enough to march your
store to profitability. You also need the following:
Social media marketing
Today, almost
every person is on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. These
platforms allow you to strengthen the brand through groups and act as an easy
point of information access for the store.
Social media is
also a reliable platform for people who have used items from your store to
showcase the experience they got. Some people prefer reading reviews by people
who have used the items of interest before making a decision to buy.
Social media is
also very useful for influencer marketing. If you can reach and work with
industry leaders, it is possible to channel their traffic to the store and
convert it to sales.
Content marketing
From fashion to
tech products, people are guided by what they read before making a purchase.
Therefore, your visual merchandising tactics should go hand in hand with an
extended focus on building a strong brand through content marketing.
Make sure to
create high-value content around your brand and even individual products on the
shelves. Then, post this info on the store's website, social media platforms,
and even friendly sites as guests. Remember to also include a call to action
asking clients to visit the store and make a purchase.
A carefully
designed website
A company website
is like a reference point where clients and visitors should get all the details
they want about the store. The website should, therefore, be an extension of
the store’s visual merchandising work.
Make sure that
clients can get help and the latest info about the items on display. For
example, if a client wants to buy shoes on the display, the website should
provide info on picking the right size. It should also have an updated page
capturing the latest discounts in the store.
