”Susanne has developed my new display concept all the way; – from the first brainstorming ideas, via mood boards to the final design, production and implementation. She had taken the brand expression and function into consideration all the way. We had high demands in both areas, but it fully lived up to our wishes, needs and the demands in our brief. We have just delivered our first shipment to our expectant dealers and the feedback is overwhelming. They are completely blown away of how beautiful it is. We are very proud about the product we are now able to deliver and it lifts our jewellery to a new and higher level being presented in an environment which tells the exact story about who we are. I have gotten far more than I dared to dream about.
Susanne has been remarkable in decoding who I am and which expression would be right for me; even without my own knowledge. Susanne went into the task with a drive and carefulness, which I have rarely experienced. She has not only designed a display concept; she has created added value to my company because of her precise decoding. She has created a whole new branded universe. She has lifted our branding up to a new level by creating an universe which hits the nerve of our company very precisely, by using colours and materials which supports the stories I’d like to tell with my jewellery. Susanne’s strengths are her thoroughness, her kind being and last, but not least her great skills, knowledge and competences. She enters the tasks wholeheartedly and will not stop until all details are exactly as they should be. Besides this, all deadlines were kept. I’ll be holding on to
Susanne and use her for more projects, as she has this amazing ability to decode our needs, – also when we are unable to put them into words. Susanne has – besides developing our display concept – participated in our Kick Off and presented it to our international sales team, which she did with an amazing power and sweetness. It went straight into everybody’s hearts. She blew them away.
Susanne managed to create such an excitement and provide the sales team with lots of useful, new tools which makes them enter an important and demanding sales period – around the launch and implementation of our new collection and concept – with an eagerness and pride which will most definitely rub off on our dealers out there. – I will book Susanne again any day and give her my warmest recommendations”
”I very rarely meet a person as professional, skilled and committed as Susanne. Susanne met and exceeded my expectations. I now have a store which is much more balanced than before and with Susanne’s “final touch” it ended up being absolutely perfect. Deadlines were kept and what was promised, was delivered. I got value for money and even more so … and it has most definitely boosted my sales to work with Susanne / VISUS. Susanne were able to see things which I couldn’t and she got it implemented, so the store today is much more clean and clear in the concept than earlier. Just amazing to work with a person, who can take care of all elements within the re-building process. I clearly felt that I was in the most skilled hands, which made me feel safe and made me relax completely. I gladly recommend Susanne / VISUS to others in my network.”
”Susanne and I had an amazing cooperation. She’s visionary and creative, and also a ”do’er”, who gets things done. A rare combination. One of her strengths is that she delivers A-Z solutions; – always within budget and deadlines. And last, but not least solutions which drives sales and builds / supports the brand.”
“In Susanne Brandt you get a unique combination of a high level of professionalism, the understanding of the importance of functionalism, sustainable economical solutions and great taste. Susanne is an amazing project manager and has during the development of our Shop-In-Shop concept, which was developed from scratch, helped us avoid multiple pitfalls, finding the best suppliers and choosing the best suited materials. She has also been a priceless sparring on both the creative and commercial level. With Susanne’s guidance the development of our SIS-concept was completed in an extremely efficient way, which has saved us both time, potential frustrations and a lot of money. Susanne’s ability to maintain the great overview of the project and still keep an eye on the detail has been rather unique. It has been a pleasure to work with Susanne, – who immediately understood our brand, needs and wishes, – and she has felt more like a part of our company rather than an external consultant throughout the whole process. We will, without a doubt, book Susanne again for any kind of Visual Merchandising and Retail related tasks.”
”We used Susanne / VISUS throughout 2016, as freelance Visual Merchandiser. Susanne is pro-active, responsive, super-efficient and skilled. Beside this she is very pleasant to work with and even when the going gets tough and the pace is high, she remains calm and keeps being on top of things. Within a very short time Susanne blended in perfectly in with our team and became a popular “colleague”. It was a great way for us to try out having a full-time VM-competence in-house; especially in a smaller company with limited resources. Hereafter we concluded that we needed a full-time capacity in this area and since Susanne preferred to continue with her company, we hired another VM-person. I highly recommend Susanne and her competences, if you need a strong, sympathetic and creative capacity within VM”
”It was a most pleasant, informative and smooth process to work with Susanne around the development of Visual Merchandising for our brand. With simple tools and components Susanne managed to create a world of difference compared to prior campaigns and visibility. She worked very independently, but kept us in the loop all the way. There’s no doubt that behind Susanne’s always calm, pleasant, positive and problem solving mind lies many years of experience. It would be my pleasure to work with Susanne again and I highly recommend her to others in need of a skilled and experienced retail expert”.
”Susanne and I developed and implemented – in close corporation – the Bang & Olufsen retail store concept from 2012 – 2015. Susanne is always on-brand in her designs / input and delivers a high level of detail. Her ideas are realizable and always with focus on the commercial aspect. She builds strong relations to her team internally and to her collaborators externally, which is crucial when tight timelines and budgets must be kept. Susanne has a broad knowledge about the whole store development process from the early definition- and design phase to the final production ( + product optimization) and implementation phase, which gave us the perfect starting point and eliminated a lot of obstacles in advance. She made sure we succeed on implementing and rolling out stores globally in both small and large scale being both on time and budget”.
”After having used VISUS for business development and generally giving me advise for my store, I had the feeling that my store entered a whole new league. VISUS fully lived up to my expectations. The store had a significant interior and conceptual lift and I’m certain it also gave me a significantly higher turnover. VISUS gave me some commercial tools and tricks, which I can see works very well in the daily life in the store. Several customers suddenly commented that I had the most beautiful store and the most beautiful windows in the city. The windows made them curious to see the store inside also, so they entered and extra traffic was created. To invest in guidance from VISUS had earned itself many times since.”
”My corporation with Susanne and the use of her visual and commercial competences has always provided a very positive outcome. With her creative mind mixed with strong commercial and business development skills she has repentantly succeed in finding great merchandising solutions which has benefitted the sales, the brand and last, but not least, the budget. To Susanne it is all about creating “best value for money” without compromising the brand. She stands firmly on keeping the brand recognition and consistency throughout the whole value chain. If the budget doesn’t allow the proposal, she manages to come up with the optimal alternative, which works well in both the store and to the brand in general. She is a skilled and rare combination between commerciality and creativity”.
”Susanne has – when working with Visual Merchandising – always had a structured and detailed toolbox and knows what works. She takes action and only makes changes if it creates turnover. She is top-proffessionel and delivers what she promises – my warmest recommendation”
