As Buyer and Retail Manager at Somerset House, I took on additional responsibilities including Merchandiser and Ecommerce Manager. I looked after the Retail P&L.In this multifaceted role, I opened 3 exhibition shops - 2 physical and 1 online. I researched customer behavior and exhibition teams' cultural plans to develop the shops' profiles and visual merchandising, ensuring they aligned with Somerset House's branding and values. Using this knowledge, I redesigned and upgraded the Shopify ecommerce website, maintaining organisational branding and ethos. I spearheaded shopping events from concept to execution by curating partnerships, developing integrated promotions, and leading efforts before, during, and after its activation. Knowing experiential retail was surging in popularity, I recognized an opportunity to make our shopping entertaining for customers while showcasing products. My team coordinated directly with over 30 artists, suppliers, and vendors to create product launches and a chance to meet the exhibitions famous artists. To maximize turnout and buzz, I led a multi-channel awareness campaign across email, social and creative on-site displays. The event exceeded expectations, attracting 80% uptake in attendees and a 180% boost in daily sales throughout the event. Post-event I gathered customer feedback to inform future experiential initiatives and continued engaging event goers with personalized email follow-ups.My successes included achieving Somerset House's second most profitable exhibition shop ever as well as selling the most exhibition catalogues in their history, with 97% sold.
