Conclusion
#rom this store 8isit in Su"erdr&5 I learnt a lot o3 thins about 8isual merchandisin$
#irstl&5 I et to 6no2 more about 8isual merchandisin such as the 2a& the& decorate the store
interior5 the table and store 3i-tures the& used and the strateies the& add in to the store
decoration$ 'esides that5 I also learnt about the im"ortance o3 dis"la&in in a clear5 neat and tid&
2a& to dis"la& di33erent t&"es and colors o3 arments$ #or e-am"le5 the 2a& the& dis"la& all the
colors and siIes toether is to brin con8enience to customer so that the& can et 2hat the& 2ant
easil&$ @ther than that5 "ri8ac& is also im"ortant so Su"erdr& dis"la& 2omens2ear and mens2ear
se"aratel& to brin a com3ortable sho""in en8ironment to the customer$
% ood decoration 2ill create a ood sho""in en8ironment to the customers$ ,here3ore5
Su"erdr& had "ut a lot o3 e33ort in their store interior such as the lihtin5 2all decoration e8en
the ceilin desin and man& small detailin on the rac6 and table$ I thin6 that i3 the interior
desin is ood enouh5 "eo"le 2ithout intention to 8isit the store 2ill chane their mind and ta6e
a loo6 in the store$
'esides5 2indo2 dis"la& is the most im"ortant element to i8e a ood im"ression to customers
because 2indo2 dis"la& is the main dis"la& since it is the outer o3 the store$ Su"erdr& did a 7uite
ood job that the& "ut e8er& "roduct the& are sellin at their 2indo2s and did not create a mess&
loo6 as 2ell because the& used a lot o3 di33erent 2a& to dis"la& their items$
Ne-t to 2indo2 dis"la&5 store 3ront is the im"ortant element too$ Su"erdr& has a ood store 3ront
because it is o"en air so it can let customers to see throuh the 2hole store$ 'esides5 their storeDs
sinboard is bi and clear enouh to i8e im"ression to the sho""ers$
Nonetheless5 their store la&out is still ha8in the room 3or im"ro8ement because it is too narro2
to 2al6 throuh at some area in the store because o3 the small store area$ @ne o3 the reasons that
small area is a bad "oint because Su"erdr& has too man& di33erent "roducts$ 4ence5 some minor
item such as accessories is hard to notice because the& "ut at a hidden "lace$ >-ce"t this "oint5 I
thin6 that Su"erdr& is a reall& ood store in 8isual merchandise$
