Merchandisers have been practicing the art of positioning their products and wares since the invention of commerce.

From Christmas window displays, to the warm neon glow of signs in an 80s-era mall, or even to your first lemonade stand, visual merchandising has always had a place in society. But for merchandisers, it isn’t all about physical spaces anymore. Merchandising techniques have adapted to online spaces and channels in ways early town square sellers (and customers) couldn’t possibly have imagined.

All thanks to the wonders of technology.

In an era where shopping has predominantly moved online, digital merchandising has become a cornerstone for retailers to captivate shoppers’ attention in the absence of physical shelves and window displays. But in a busy marketplace, with an abundance of competition, merchandisers are fighting to make their mark. As a merchandiser, how do you stand out? What can you do to captivate your audience and turn them into repeat customers?
