5 ideas for arranging window display for Valentine’s Day

Visual merchandising plays a critical role in a success in retail. It is a tool which can help us strengthen our brand and make the store look more attractive. One of the basic principles of VM is to systematically change the arrangement of commercial space.

Even small changes give the customers the feeling that it is worth to visit the store often, so as not to miss any news or special occasion. The rhythm of these changes is set by the calendar – it is worth to use the seasons, holidays and other special occasions to redecorate window display. One of such occasions is certainly a Valentine’s Day.

When designing a shop window, it is worth remembering that it should be a reflection of the brand. For example, balloons, which are fairly popular during Valentine’s Day, are quite a “cheap” way to impress the customer.  It’s hard to imagine that the balloons will decorate the store, where customers buy watches for 2 000 dollars. Balloons are more for younger environments and demographics like kids stores.

Visual does not have to cost a fortune. It will also not always be necessary to hire a visual merchandising specialist. Sometimes you can use your own resources, inspired by arrangements found on social media sites like Instagram or Pinterest. We also give you some display ideas and present interesting arrangements found on the web.

1. Watches were already mentioned in the text  – below we present a  very clear way to display and emphasize them.  A bit too much red color can overwhelm, but this idea leaves decent spacing between products as not to become crowded. Watches placed in red boxes are sure to catch your eye. (photo: mannequinmall.com)
