Food Retail and Food Service Visual Merchandising Consultant

• 1988 - Present

Our purpose is to make our customers more successful. I’m involved in new concept development where unique products are sourced and placed into programs to bring my customer’s strategic vision to reality. I work with Food Operation Specialist and Directors to refresh their food service line with merchandising products that makes their food look more appealing and increase sales in their operation. In food retail I work with department Directors and Specialist to improve the look behind the glass with on trend merchandising that helps to increases sales and grow their business. • I recently worked with a growing food retail chain based in PA. They had new specialty bakery cases and were not satisfied with how the food appeared. They wanted to improve the look behind the glass in order to increase sales. I presented on trend products to add height, color and texture that made their bakery products the star of the show. My customer tested the set in two stores, tracked the increase in sales and implemented the new merchandising program going forward. • When my territory consisted solely of Military and Federal customers I had the opportunity to design on trend deli case sets for multiple size cases that were approved by the Defense Commissary Agency. These sets were implemented in all remodeled and new store openings in their contracted deli departments. Show less
