Creative and New Job trends - Visual Merchandising & Retail Management

Visual Merchandising

As the concept of large retail stores gains ground in India, the practice and concept of Visual Marketing(VM) is likely to grow exponentially. In the western countries VM receives highest priority in commercial planning of a product. As seasons change, the merchandise collections / planograms too change in a retail store.

When such changes take place the store too undergoes a transformation in decor and visual presentation to appeal to the consumers while announcing new arrivals in merchandise collection. This phenomenon of transformation of visual presentations and displays of merchandise accompanied by relevant thematic props, is still very new in India. VM and Displays have a storyboard effect communicating with innovation to the customer besides being a ‘Silent salesman for a retail store’.

Career in Retail Management

Indian retailing, though enjoys many unique features, is still done in a primitive way. Barring a few exceptions, Indian retailers, particularly FMCG retailers, are not in a position to implement world class practices of supply chain management. The concepts of Quick Response or Efficient Consumer Response are unheard of in Indian retailing.

Ways and means to strengthen the position of the retailing industry, doing away with the causes for the inefficiencies, therefore, are being taken up in an urgent manner. Such measures may include establishment of retailers co-operatives, merger and buy-out, use of technology to the greatest possible extent, setting up of non-store retailing centers and increase in franchisee network. So there is a rising need for man power to fill in these positions.
