Free People

Merchandising Ideas for Retailers

I’m a big fan of Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters.

I’m a big fan of a 4′ cross-bar, and not the 2′ bars that you see here.

That being said, I love this presentation.  They’re following a lot of rules that I would adhere to. I.e. Lightest to Darkest from left to right.  Tops above bottoms and so on.

They’re also doing a lot of things I likely wouldn’t do, especially garments hung too high, and too much space between the shelf and the hanging garments. But…overall ‘This store is really fun and interesting!’

I love the denim on hooks. I love the clothing stories  that are being told.  I love the natural woods.  I love the shelf over the hang bar and the custom hangers.  My favourite stores are not ‘perfect’ stores.  They’re ‘interesting’!

Accessory Wall

I really hate slat wall!  It’s probably my biggest nightmare!

Here … ‘The Wall is interesting’.

The necklace holders are made with capped copper pipe!

The sample ‘fairy’ dresses are hung on hand formed hangers.

The lighting is perfect!

As an independent retailer, you get the chance to have fun and to play.  If things aren’t selling, move them around, but definitely HAVE SOME FUN!
