Visual Merchandising Course

The aim of the IDI Visual Merchandising Specialization Course is to create professionals in visual and fashion design, able to design exhibition spaces, showcases and concept stores, in order to guide the end customer's purchasing behavior. Maximizing the profitability of a store's exhibition spaces is possible through the clever arrangement of the products in space and with a play of light and shadows that enhances and underlines the strengths of the brand.
The purchase of a product, particularly in the fashion sector, is an action that must generate an emotional and sensorial experience. Indeed if the first visual impact is positive, the mood of the customer be positively influence the buying experience, leading to its loyalty and potential return for subsequent purchases. Customers are constantly changing, as are consumption and purchasing needs and problems; the same products are renewed, especially in the world of fashion design, without counting the communication initiatives of the competition. For this reason, promptly adapting the sales strategy of a store is of fundamental importance. The visual figure is in charge of managing this constant change, anticipating or following from time to time the trends of the moment, given that the commercial marketing strategies aimed at increasing sales pass mainly through visual and sensorial communication.
Synergically involve all the senses of the customer, suggest it and persuade it to purchase. Visual merchandising must have a background characterized by a passion for design and communication, fashion or interior design.
