Working at Oxfam Stowmarket gives me the freedom to try out my Visual Merchandising Skills and Try to Promote our stock. I moved the Scarfs around, This is where the necklaces used to be but since they have been switched, Three scarfs were sold in just a few hours, This Display is Colourful and attractive, appealing to the customers to brighten up these dull Autumn days!
At the moment we have a bag sale on, all marked sale bags are £1.99, This is a great way to clear old stock to make way for new fresh stock between seasons.
When the shop first opened I used to display the jewelery like this, but when I went away back to University it somehow became pushed to one side and ignored, thus the customer ignoring it too! The display will help impulse buying while the customers are browsing at other things.
This is our shoe corner, consisting of a wall and a free standing unit we can more around. This means the shoes can be hung on the wall or sit on a shelf, or On the unit. The shoes are part of out accesorie category and this is the part of the shop which I want to improve sales on.
Hangers are used in the windows, I used this idea once and since everyone has liked it and it has been a perminant thing, However over time the windows should change, I feel I need to re think the space and do something completley different.
We tend to mix some homewears and the clothing together, using the same colour.
Recently having had a mass of donations of beauty and health, So bubble bath sets, lots of candles, even one of those funky themometers. I have created a section due to the lack of glass wear out I could do this.
Doing the Visual merchandising at Oxfam is Great, So much freedom and very much enjoyable!
