Hi Everyone, Spring is now well on it’s way and Summer is round the corner and as every May we will be launching a brand new Preview Collection. Amazing new product ranges will be hitting down in your store and as with every new season it is time to remember what a Diesel store should be:
THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE MESSAGE
// A Diesel store is a store with OUTSTANDING VISUAL STANDARDS. Engaging windows, great Visual Merchandising on wallbays, tables and focal areas, inspirational styling, attention to detail, folding standards in apparel and denim areas, enticing cabinet displays and commercial and easy to navigate layouts.
6
// A Diesel store is a store with OUTSTANDING HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE. A store that always looks clean, fresh and crisp, furniture that is kept in good condition, walls and surfaces free of dirt and scratch marks, wallbay hardware and lighting are all working and in place and product is always perfectly ironed. // A Diesel store is a store with OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Sales associates that are our Best Brand ambassadors, knowledgeable about our product ranges, always ready to help and dressed with the coolest Diesel product. And let’s not forget about 5 pockets. Denim is at the core of everything we do, it is our single most important category and the one we excel on innovation and development of new and exciting products like Jogg jeans or Skinzee. Ensure Denim is visible from the moment we walk into your store and it is not just confined to the Denim areas. Ensure you take pride when displaying our best washes and styles and you create enticing areas full of DNA.
What’s New this Season? // A New Box Layout with different inserts for every Section of the store. Hopefully it will be more easy to use... let’s us know what you think!
// Different wallbay options for different store sizes for Female apparel. We want to make sure that every store can make the most of their product assortment.
// We have included a window section to ensure you have all the information you need to set up your store ready for Preview in just one document.
And please remember there will be plenty of customers out there still looking for summer product. Make sure the Preview collection looks seasonal and the SS13 collectiont still looks fresh and enticing.
// More information on category areas. These areas are mandatory and all stores must represent them. A good part of our male customers are used to buy off category areas and we must strive to have a good balance of lifestyle/by outfit merchandising and category areas.
This is it for now. Good luck with Preview and enjoy the summer!
