Your Visual Merchandising Toolkit Checklist

Considering the importance of regularly changing the displays in your shop window, there will be tools you need over and over. Setting up a toolkit or toolbox for visual merchandising means there will be no more last minute chaos when changing your displays. A toolkit is also a great resource to take when exhibiting at tradeshows and even fashion shows.

We have created a checklist of items to put in your toolkit, below. As far as the toolkit itself, you could use a plastic bin with a lid, a cardboard box or a real toolbox. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but you will be glad of it next time you change your window displays! All items are easily obtainable from retail supplies shops, hardware stores or office supply stores.
