Senior Visual Merchandiser at Homes r us
  • United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi
  • July 2012 to July 2014

Visual merchandisers are in charge of creating attractive visual displays in retail outlets. These guys make shops look the way they do, using their creativity to enhance the aesthetic appeal of window displays, walkways, counters and in-store displays.

The main objective of visual merchandising is to increase sales and buyer attention, capitalising on the human tendency to ‘window-shop’. Displays are frequently changed to promote new product launches and reflect festive or seasonal themes, such as Christmas, spring or summer.

Most visual merchandisers are employed by retail chains and large department stores, such as Marks & Spencer, Topshop and Harrods. Some are employed by agencies that provide contract services to various clients who do not have an in-house team. Other employers include promotions and event management companies.

An interior designer should be licensed and affiliated with one or more of the industry's professional organizations. He or she acts on your behalf, as your agent, to see that the selected choices are used and that the work begins and ends in a timely manner. A professional interior designer relieves you of the stress of dealing with the contractors and takes full responsibility if there are problems.
