Visual Merchandising is commonly known as VM!!! What’s VM, never heard of this term, does it exist? How come it is related to Retail?? What Courses, people are doing it for it? So such questions arise when we come across the very important word in Retail “VM”

Visual Merchandising is all about “Detail in Retail”, the look & feel of the store which possibly gives the best ambiance to customers. The customer convinces are seen while placing each merchandise on the floor & also while styling the mannequins. The Customer is given all together everything under one umbrella, from a basic apparel requirement to all the accessories to be used for styling oneself.

Window displays play a vital role in retail stores. As windows are seen at the entrance of the stores, Customers get ideas about products available in-store, new season trend, upcoming campaign & much more to add…!
