Abstract:
Visual merchandising is the presentation of product in a scene of diorama that
renders the theme of collection provided by retail brand and suggests its
spectator how to use the product on the merchandize. In Ethiopia most retailers
use similar store and display setup strategy in their clothing fashion retail shop
and that organization of elements used in the displays and store are just used
without consideration to approach customer’s sight. So this research primarily
focuses on developing visual setup to improve the existing manner of store setup
and display presentation methods those being implemented in Ethiopian fashion
stores with the aim of producing simplified and explanatory store design using
three elements of visual merchandizing, light, racks and layout. The research
study includes existed selling strategy of fashion retailers in Bahrdar, product
category, and customer information in Joni fashion. Explorative research was
deemed to be the most appropriate for this study and qualitative data was
collected. The research concludes of each elements used to set up the store as a
whole co-relate to each other so as so draw or to put off attention.
