Visual Merchandising Displays' Effect on Consumers
International Business & Economics Research Journal – October 2013 Volume 12, Number 10 Visual Merchandising Displays’ Effect On Consumers: A Valuable Asset Or An Unnecessary Burden For Apparel Retailers Yolandé Hefer, University of South Africa, South Africa Michael. C. Cant, University of South Africa, South Africa ABSTRACT Several consumers think they only purchase products when they go shopping, however time and time again they purchase the experience of shopping as well. The experience of shopping is highly influenced by the visual merchandising displays (also known as feature areas where merchandise is presented) used in store. Much has been said about visual merchandising displays and the effect it has on consumer behaviour. The way products are displayed and promoted in apparel retail stores can have a vast impact on consumer responses and how much merchandise the retailer sells. The main research question explored the effect visual merchandising displays have on consumer behaviour. Explorative research was deemed to be the most appropriate for this study and qualitative data was collected. Focus groups were used to collect the first round of data, where after naïve sketches were used to support the findings. The focus groups and naïve sketches were analysed by means of thematic analysis. The findings indicated that the visual merchandising displays guide consumers in the direction of the products they are seeking and that it also guides their decisions. The participants agreed that their buying behaviour is influenced on a subconscious level, based on the eminence of the visual merchandising displays, as well as their personal preferences and gender. Keywords: Visual Merchandising Displays; Retail Industry; Apparel Retailers; Consumer Behaviour; Subliminal Influence; Gender INTRODUCTION question that apparel retailers often ask is whether the visual merchandising displays used in stores are beneficial for their customers.

INTRODUCTION: Sales Promotion Division in a Retail Store and Marketing/Brand Communications Division in a Brand Company The retail store is usually organized into five divisions: Sales Promotion, Merchandising, Management, Finance and Human Resources. All of these divisions work closely together by sharing information and resources. The Sales Promotion Division is the division responsible for marketing the store brand and product in order to attract the target consumer and drive brand recognition and awareness. They also build market share, sales volume and profit margins through visual merchandising techniques and marketing programs. The phrase “sales promotion” does not necessarily denote merchandise that is sold at a reduced or markdown price. Rather, it indicates that the store brand and/or product is being featured, promoted, or advertised in order to attract the attention of the store’s target consumers.

The Efficacy of the Design Charrette As a Tool For
THE EFFICACY OF THE DESIGN CHARRETTE AS A TOOL FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING by JULIA REED (Under the Direction of Pratt Cassity) ABSTRACT Community involvement in the process of city planning and design has become an increasingly important topic during the last 50 years. This thesis examines the community design charrette as a tool for cooperation, consensus and resolution of problems facing American cities today. The University of Georgia (UGA) Center for Community Design & Preservation (CCDP) conducted forty-nine charrettes in the state of Georgia between 1998 and 2006. The success and failure of community involvement efforts, such as charrettes can be linked in part to a community’s level of readiness and existing level of social capacity. Research for this thesis includes an analysis of communities, based on responses to a charrette follow-up survey. In-depth study of four participating Georgia towns resulted in several noteworthy and significant findings.
