ABSTRACT
Due to increasing competition and the similarity of merchandise, retailers utilize
visual merchandising to differentiate their offerings from others’ as well as to improve
the desirability of products. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship
between college students’ apparel impulse buying behaviors and visual merchandising.
The result of the present study proves that there is a pivotal relationship between college
students’ impulse buying behaviors and two type of visual merchandising practices: in-
store form/mannequin display and promotional signage. This study provides information
as to why visual merchandising should be considered an important component of a
strategic marketing plan in support of sales increase and positive store/company image.
This study also provides insights to retailers about types of visual merchandising that can
influence consumers’ impulse buying behaviors.
