STORE VISITS
PRODUCT MERCHANDISING
Our Ambassadors are exceptionally talented Visual Merchandisers, blending artistry with purpose to create alluring displays that magnetize customers. Equipped with a keen understanding of current trends, our Ambassadors transform the retail space into a dynamic landscape that eloquently balances form, function, and brand identity. Each detail is thoughtfully considered, resulting in a harmonious blend of style and strategy that not only captivates customers but also optimizes sales.
MANNEQUINS & SIGNAGE
We work closely with the retailers Sales and Visual teams, leveraging relationships to optimize mannequin representation, placement of signage, and acquisition of additional display fixtures to amplify the sales potential in every square foot of the retail space.
STAFF & CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
To cultivate a strong feedback loop between customers, sales staff, and brands, our Ambassadors engage directly with sales staff and customers to gather first-hand experiences, observations, and feedback. This information is then meticulously analyzed and transformed into actionable insights for brands. The feedback can inform the production or design process, supply chain management, pricing decisions, marketing strategies, and more. It creates a continuous improvement cycle that ensures the agility to adjust offerings to meet the evolving consumer expectations and market trends.
STOCK MAINTENANCE
Our Ambassadors extend beyond creating aesthetically pleasing display layouts. A vital part of their job entails restocking products to maintain steady availability and managing the back stockroom in an orderly fashion. They spend time dealing with inventory, ensuring all products are represented and in sufficient numbers on the shop floor while neatly organizing surplus stock in the backroom. This back-end work is crucial to mitigate the risk of product shortages, and contribute to a seamless shopping experience for customers.

Our Ambassadors are expert trainers. Partnering with retailers, our team hosts morning training sessions to relay your brand messaging, product details, and selling features.
We turn retail staff into ambassadors for your brand, by bringing important product and brand knowledge to the team of sales associates that interact directly with customers.
