Job Analysis and Specifications EOC- Week 6


An ideal job for me would be visual merchandising/image controller. In this job I would have to deal with developing, delivering and communicating visual concepts and strategies to promote brands or products. Working as a visual merchandising designer who works in head office, I would collaborate with other departments to create annual visual strategies and promotions. Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future” – Robert L. Peters When you walk into a retail store, whatever it is, and if there's a sense of entertainment and excitement and electricity, you wanna be there.
          I would have many responsibilities in this job like, conducting research on current and future trends in design, meeting with business, sales managers and retail managers to discuss sales strategies, identifying and sourcing props, fabrics, hardware and lighting, maintaining a budget and negotiating with suppliers of visual materials, and assembling or dismantling visual displays in windows or in-store.If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them – Bruce Lee” I believe that I would be good for this type of job because I would try new ways to get the attention of shoppers. My main objective would be to increase sales and buyer attention, capitalizing on the human tendency to ‘window-shop’. Displays are frequently changed to promote new product launches and reflect festive or seasonal themes, such as Christmas, spring or summer. It is important to keep up with what is going on. “People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'” -Philip Green
