Ciao,
Marica
Here the 14 questions:
1) Where do you see the future of visual merchandising 10-15 years from now with the increase in online retail? bit.ly/mgvmeqa1
2) With e-commerce becoming more mainstream, how do visual merchandisers keep brick and mortar from going under? bit.ly/mgvmeqa2
3) What is your suggestion about VM lifespan, will online kill our job or it will remain the same?bit.ly/mgvmeqa3
4) Is the job of a VM still relevant for an online shop? How? bit.ly/mgvme4
5) How do Visual Merchandisers adapt to e-commerce without the skills of a graphic designer or photographer? How do we adapt in general? Will brick and mortar have a comeback? bit.ly/mgvmeqa5
6) What do I have to study in order to start a career in visual merchandising?bit.ly/mgvmeqa6
7) As I’m going to graduate from an architecture school next year and I wonder if my BA degree allowed me to work as visual merchandiser? bit.ly/mgvmeqa7
8) Can you tell us a good place or courses to learn more about visual merchandising, please? bit.ly/mgvmeqa8
9) What do you think is happening with luxury VM? bit.ly/mgvmeqa9
10) Any suggestion to display records and music items? any difference between the music store and concept store? bit.ly/mgvmeqa10
11) Can I ask about connection VM and window display? Does window designer have to work as Visual Merchandiser? bit.ly/mgvmeqa11
12) My question is very nuts and bolts…6 months into a rethink and revamp of a museum gift shop. I’ve transformed the exterior w paint and garden but have clunky tired shop fittings ( jewelry counters etc) with no budget or approval to remove .need ideas or a starting point! bit.ly/mgvmeqa12
13) What are the main differences between the VM language for male customers and female ones?bit.ly/mgvmeqa13
14) My question is can you do VM remotely? What do you need to do as a task? bit.ly/mgvmeqa14

Hello Marica, thank you for making all these very helpful videos about visual merchandising. I'm a fashion merchandise graduate and I'm going through plenty of interviews with brands. I have a question and i wish you could help answer this for me: As a visual merchandiser, what can we do to current collections in store and the collection that arrives on the day itself to increase more sales on occasions like Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Thank you! :)

[@MaricagiganteVM]

Hello Cherrie! thanks for your comment :) Products rotation is crucial in these case: remember that the front areas of the store are the most relevant in terms of sales but also new collection must be positioned in a place that is visible from a sale area. Sales area will be with really high density and really packed, instead, the new collection must be really well displayed and tidy. this contrast will do 2 things: 1st identify in customer minds the value (and price also) of each sector, 2nd by having the first area "messy" and packed and the second shining and very tidy, the customer will be attracted by that as our brain look for tidiness. hope this help with your doubts :)

Thank you Marica for you answer. Last month, I went through 3 rounds of interviews with HM for the role of Visual Merchandiser. First round I had with HR & Store manager. They really emphasized a lot on working culture and scenarios among team works. Final round was with country VM manager. She didnt' really ask me much, still focus more of my capability of handling stress in fast pace fashion environment. And now they are checking on my character referees and old internships' bosses. I have never seen any companies that doing such an intensive background check up. I did use the answer you gave me to show them my point of view towards the impact of VM in fashion retail. Hopefully I will be selected. thank you once again! :)
