Intro
• When the giant nineteenth century dry goods establishments like Marshall
Field & Co. shifted their business from wholesale to retail, the visual display of
goods became necessary to attract the general consumers.
• The store windows were often used to attractively display the store's
merchandise.
• Over time, the design aesthetic used in window displays moved indoors and
became part of the overall interior store design, eventually reducing the use of
display windows in many suburban malls
History
• In the twentieth century, well-known artists such as Salvador Dalí and Andy
Warhol created window displays.
• In the beginning of twenty-first century, visual merchandising is forming as a
science.
• Nowadays, visual merchandising became one of the major tool of business
promotion which is widely used to attract customers and increase sales.
Tanishq
• Tanishq is planning to add regional art and craft elements exclusive to the
location of the store.
• As part of in-store branding and visual merchandising, the brand plans to
dedicate a wall/ display space to the local art and craft, which will be different
from store to store and will be exclusive to respective location of the store.
• As part of a recent work, at Tanishq’s Garia outlet in Kolkata, the brand has
added elements like kantha work, alpana art, POP rosette collage etc, which
have been integral parts of Bengal’s culture.
Local Art at Tanishq
• “We have already started introducing these elements since early this year but
only at our flagship stores. Now, we plan to make our every second store to
represent these design elements, through which the local population can
connect with the brand. Tanishq has been a jewelry brand that has connected
with all strata of shoppers and we believe that these local elements in retail
design and VM will strengthen the bridge between the brand and its loyalists.”
– Rajan Amba, General Manager & Head – Retail, Tanishq,
• Tanishq has a strong network of more than 250 stores across the country.
