British Display Society

The British Display Society is committed to supporting the High Street. We offer a retail and customer experience consulting service through Visual Merchandising.

We utilise professional VM experts and knowledge to support today’s new-retail challenges.

Online basic display and styling course that is perfect for those new to retail or small businesses.

You can supplement this training with a face to face service where you can personally chat with our retail professional about how you can quickly make positive changes.

How stores look and the customer experience are even more important now than ever. Physical stores still and will continue to play a vital role for retail and customer experience.

Visual Merchandising also helps with styling and other activities such as markets, pop ups and digital marketing that show displayed product or the physical environment as the backdrop for e-commerce.
