Job Description

Work Activities

  • As a Visual Merchandiser, you will design and create window and floor displays for retail outlets. Your displays are used to encourage and promote sales, and make stores attractive places in which to shop.
  • The work of a Visual Merchandiser usually starts a long time before the display is needed. Typical projects might include dressing the window of a clothes shop or re-creating a fully furnished room on the floor of a furniture shop or department. Visual merchandising is sometimes known as retail display.
  • Most large retail chain stores have central design teams who plan and co ordinate displays for all their company's shops.
  • Most of their time is spent in a drawing office/studio, usually based at company headquarters. They plan designs according to the image or 'look' they want to create for customers.
  • However, in some organisations, you may have the responsibility to design a display yourself.
  • You''ll begin by choosing an appropriate theme (usually a seasonal event, such as Christmas) and then measure the display area to be used. These measurements may be used to make scale drawings.
  • You will then decide what the overall colour scheme is going to be, which props you need, and how the display is to be arranged. You may also make any props that can't be hired or borrowed.
  • You'll arrange lighting to make the displays stand out.
