“I would highly recommend Alan Wescott as a dedicated mentor. He is completely passionate about his work and has liased closely with me on the possibilities of starting a unique retail outlet in the UK. He came to meet me in person, face to face, visiting all the current unique outlets I was interested in knowing more about. He highlighted the current trends and movements I should be focusing on to ensure I was starting the business with the correct visual and customer appeal possible. I have been able to draw on Alan's expert retail experience (from all over the world) and he has taught me to consider different aspects/approaches of the retail business sector that I couldn't have done alone. Alan continues to be, and always will be, a valued member of my decision making process in business. ”

How can you use visual merchandising for effective crisis management?
The one most important tool available to all VM's in all shops and stores is lighting. It is never mentioned and is the most important but misunderstood piece of equipment available. When times are tough and energy costs are so high, it is even more important to maximise your opportunities. Highlight merchandise displays correctly, bring colour to life, help customers navigate their way through the experience. Lighting plays such a vital role in attracting attention, whether that be by colour, shape or price or promotional point. Eyes will travel to the brightest point of light, if you want your customers to focus on something, light it up. Lighting used correctly will stimulate the senses and increase commercial uplift in sales.
