Services
We have gone through the entire path of retail development in Russia since 2004: from the inside, in hiring, in consulting, in training, in creativity.
We know that Brands are facing with what the agencies don't see: offline processes, teams, assortment, seasonality, expansion.

We create stores that live and develop - and not just look beautiful.

Because we see the essence of the Brand, we know the algorithm of visual merchandising., and we endlessly develop our awareness of account for the analysis of retail trends around the world.

Seasonal decoration and storefronts

Standards and guides
A merch book and a retail book are not just PDF files. This is a clear, visual instruction document, which describes in detail the principles of working with the store, with its design, with trading equipment and with the layout of the goods. The peculiarity of any guides is to draw, visualize and describe the rules as clearly as possible.
Duration: up to 10 weeks

Collection of technical information: store drawings (2D), drawings of commercial equipment, product photos, current rules for layout and design

To develop a high-quality merchandise book for the product layout, we need:
the brand's commercial equipment in DWG format,
product line in the form of photos (for rendering icons),
the described rules within the network, based on which we develop standards for product presentation and work with the store.
We believe THAT A modern STORE IS not a point of sale, BUT A MEDIUM of meaning.

He creates a path, an experience, and an influence. If you need such a store, we are ready.
