Visual Manager Duties and Responsibilities
Arranging a retail store in a way that maximizes profitability involves several tasks. We perused a handful of visual manager job descriptions to come up with the following list of core duties:
Monitor Visual Merchandising Strategies of Competing Brands Visual managers have to constantly monitor what their employer's competition is doing visually. This involves visiting their store locations and experiencing their floor layout through the eyes of the customer.
Strategize with Operations Team Visual managers develop their merchandising strategies off of the physical inventory of their stores. They alter the floor plan based on what is selling well, what is on sale, and what is in season.
Develop Designs for Merchandising Signage "Signage" is a key part of the visual merchandising process. Visual managers work with the design team to create marketing materials that are most likely to influence customer behavior.
Develop Training Programs One component of any visual merchandising plan is developing a training program that helps store employees maintain the visual standards set forth in the visual manager's strategy.
Implement Visual Merchandising Strategies Visual managers who are responsible for more than one store visit each location to help staff rearrange their store to the latest visual standards. They also guide sales associates through a training program that goes over the company's visual standards. Visual managers who work in-store tweak their strategy based on available inventory.
Visual Manager Skills
Developing and implementing a visual merchandising strategy takes an interesting blend of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Visual managers know the products their employer sells inside and out. They consider each product's size, profit margins, and sales success as they create their merchandising strategies. Visual managers also know how to conduct competitive analysis. A big part of their job is paying attention to how the competition is using visual merchandising to drive sales. When it comes to character traits, visual managers are strategic thinkers with a strong eye for detail. They possess strong spatial awareness to design merchandise floor plans. In addition to these traits and areas of knowledge, the following skills are needed to be a successful visual manager:- Conducting competitive analysis on rival brands to learn from their visual merchandising strategy
- Developing visual merchandising strategies based on season, current promotions, and inventory in stock
- Communicating and collaborating effectively with operations team to make sure all stores have enough inventory to maintain the company's visual standards
- Innovation in creating signage for visual merchandising campaigns
- Strategic in designing and implementing training programs to teach employees how to keep merchandise at company visual standard
Visual Manager Education and Training
Although education that exceeds a high school diploma is not technically a requirement, most employers want candidates who have at least an associate's degree in visual merchandising or business administration. Coursework includes topics like marketing, business organization, retail management, and economics.
Visual Manager Salary
According to Glassdoor, the national average salary for visual managers is $53,654. Those in the lower percentile make $38,000, while those in the higher percentile make $78,000.
