    Came for my friend Kerrie fiztgeralds episodes and stayed for more! I’m not a product founder, but I am a PR coach for product founders, so I love finding resources to recommend them! Michelle has curated such amazing case studies in every niche imaginable! Hearing how so many people got their start in biz is always interesting, so even if you’re not a biz owner this will be a very fun and inspiring listen for you!

FALL MERCHANDISING SECRETS — SHELF TALK WITH CO-HOST SUSAN ESAYIAN!
Q: How often should you be switching up displays and moving products around the store?
It's advisable to change your key displays every couple of weeks to keep the store fresh and engaging for repeat customers. This doesn't mean you have to overhaul everything; small adjustments and movement of products can create a new feel without significant effort.
FALL MERCHANDISING SECRETS — SHELF TALK WITH CO-HOST SUSAN ESAYIAN!
Q: How much is too much decorating when it comes to merchandising?
Too much decor can overwhelm customers and distract from the products you are selling. The key is to enhance the merchandise without overshadowing it. Pay attention to customer reactions; if they are more focused on the decor than the items for sale, it's a sign that your displays may need to be simplified.
FALL MERCHANDISING SECRETS — SHELF TALK WITH CO-HOST SUSAN ESAYIAN!
Q: What are your tips for making jewelry look pretty in such a high-paced environment?
When merchandising jewelry in a busy boutique, it's important to balance high visibility with security. Utilize modern, clean-lined displays that are easy for customers to interact with. Consistency in presentation is key; consider using your own cards for jewelry to avoid mixed branding. Additionally, displaying related items together can enhance visual appeal and encourage add-on sales.
