Ever wonder about the process of creating inspiring window displays? Or who changes the floor plan and mannequins every time you visit your favorite store? Visual Merchandising 101 is a class for anyone who is interested in starting a career as a Visual Merchandiser, anyone who is a retail business owner and wants to improve their revenue or brand identity through strong merchandise presentation, or anyone who is simply interested in learning about this sometimes mysterious profession.

Cristina here, a Visual Merchandise Manager who has worked for Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and IKEA. I'm offering up over 10 years of my knowledge in Visual Merchandising to help you begin your career or improve your retail business. Experience with both luxury and big-box stores gives me a wide perspective on how to visually translate the brand identity of various retailers and meet different customer expectations.

I started my career in 2010 with no experience and worked my way up from Visual Merchandiser to Visual Lead, to Visual Merchandise Manager, and you can too.

What you'll learn in this class:

Role of a Visual Merchandiser
Merchandising fundamentals for apparel
Merchandising fundamentals for accessories
Color Theory
Mannequin Styling
Floor Plan Fundamentals
Window Display Fundamentals
Job Opportunity & Portfolio Tips

In a retail climate with unrelenting online competition, it is more important than ever before to employ strong visual merchandising techniques in a brick & mortar store.

You do not need any prior knowledge or experience to take this class. All you need is a computer with access to the internet and either PowerPoint or a free account on Canva.com.
