SVdP Guides
Visual Merchandising is the key to ensuring that the products in our stores are set up, so that it’s easy to shop and understand the assortment of merchandise that we are selling. It’s goal is to also highlight and feature special products, seasonal items & categories. Keep in mind that successful merchandising makes shopping easier for the customers. It helps to raise the quality perception of thrift store products, inspires customers on how to use and mix different products, and most importantly, ensures that the St. Vincent de Paul shopping experience exceeds our competitors.

Eye Candy! The Magic of Merchandising.
It’s your job to ensure that all St. Vincent De Paul stores are set up and merchandised to create the best possible thrift store experience for our customers. To help you define this goal, we have created a presentation to help you create your store’s best looks.
