What's it like to be a Visual Merchandiser?
Visual Merchandisers create visual displays in retail stores to enhance the appeal of products and increase sales.

They must also be knowledgeable about the brand’s market and products, as well as how to best maximize spaces to create the most appealing displays possible.
Tasks and duties
- Creating product displays in stores that attract customers.
- Executing a visual merchandising strategy that is aligned with the brand and target audience.

How to become a Visual Merchandiser
