3. ❑ Remember That Color Is King
Color is powerful, and it can make or break your visual displays. If the colors coordinate well, the display
can be a success. Consider using contrasting colors, like black and white, and monochromatic colors--
both create intriguing, eye-catching displays.
Wherever the eyes go, the feet will follow. So use color to catch the eyes of your customers and draw them to your displays.
❑ Create a Visual Marketing Focal Point
Examine your display from the customer’s point of view: the top, the floor, both sides. Often the focal
point is positioned too high for the customer to see. Always check your displays to ensure customers can
easily view the hotspots and merchandise.
❑ Merchandising Tells a Story
What’s in it for customers? Tell them. Use powerful, sales-enabling signage to display the advantages of
buying the product.
❑ Expose Customers to the Maximum Amount of Merchandise
A well-designed, impactful display exposes the customer to as much merchandise as possible while
avoiding a sloppy mess. The more products customers see, the more they buy but at the same time keep
it clutter free.
❑ Use Empty Space Wisely
There’s a space in all retail stores that is the most underutilized. Make sure you are utilizing the space properly.
