Episode 114: The Return of The Perfect Close (Visual Merchandising with Jessica + Michelle)

<p>If you’ve ever bought an entire outfit after seeing it on a mannequin, visual merchandising has worked its magic on you. Visual merchandising uses floor plans, fixtures, displays, outfitting, signage and lots of creative talent to persuade customers to buy more. It's hard work, it rarely pays well, and it involves so much creative problem solving.  Jessica (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/vino.vintage/">Vino Vintage</a>) and Michelle (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/vino.vintage/">Gentle Vibes Vintage</a>) join Amanda to explain the ups and downs of being the person behind the magic of shopping. Also: Sarah calls the hotline to question what it means to "spark joy."
