Visual merchandising trends ring the changes for those of us working in this sector and we all have to reflect what is going on to stay current. But what are the visual merchandising trends for 2017 ? There are some things that you just have to see and how we present ourselves and our products can inspire, amuse, and be thought-provoking. That's why its called "visual merchandising" and now this area is a great hub of creative people and sublime creativity. When I tell anybody about Shimmerwalls and our ability to create pictures from small sequins, I can usually see the lack of that person visualising what I am trying to describe- maybe that's just me and my description abilities. Invariably I whip out my phone and show examples of our work before I have even finished my verbal description. Visual merchandising and those of us in this industry try to provide all types of retailers with an interesting angle to show off their goods to the best advantage. So what are the visual marketing trends this year?
Creativity Some retailers windows are destinations in their own right, especially in the run up period to Christmas. With a professional and personal interest I love looking at the creativity that goes into making the high streets look festive and interesting. Even more during a difficult retail market the shoppers need to have their attention piqued and the retailers must frame their edited selection with an interesting backdrop. Throwing literally everything in the window is no longer an option. The retailers now know who their target customer is and are actively selling to that person. That takes creativity as some retailers will have a larger VM budget than others or place more importance on it. Colour Every year there is a colour of the year which can inspire us, have a look at the link to see Pantone colour of the year which is Greenery 15-0343. We took this theme of nature and translated it into our shimmerwall called "fronds" which we are currently showing at the Ambiente Fair in Frankfurt shimmerwall at Ambiente Fair visual merchandidng trends http://ambiente.messefrankfurt.com/frankfurt/en/besucher/willkommen.html This entry was posted on February 13, 2017 by Shimmerwalls.
