INITIAL CONSULTATION
THINK WATER TESTIMONIAL
I am writing this letter as a recommendation for the services provided by Lisa Affleck from Visual Edge. For the past few years we have worked hand in hand with Visual Edge to assist us and our members with services that have focused primarily on new & existing store layout designs. Lisa has produced modern and practical conceptual floor plan designs that have always met the brief. She has never failed me, and Lisa has always proven to be highly ethical, always met her deadlines making her a reliable partner to us.
My first engagement with Visual Edge was on a project where we engaged her to present at our National Franchise Conference. Lisa presented the idea of showrooms and best practice design and layout to the group’s members. Prior to this point, most of our members were happy with a design scratched down on the back of an old piece of paper. Lisa certainly introduced a new way of thinking to our group and store owners and since that day Lisa has designed many modern yet practical showroom for us. Visual Edge is our choice of designer across the group between Australia and New Zealand. Lisa had the expertise to properly understand our clientele by spending time with our members and myself to grasp what our key drivers and motivation were and still are today. The feedback and results were phenomenal compared to our previous design partners. It is through the use of Lisa's remote retail design services that we have been able to transform our business model and, on most occasions, strongly grow our sales and profits as a direct result.
I would like you to consider Visual Edge for showroom design (or any other service). I have had a good experience with them over the past few years for the services they have rendered to us.

RETAIL LAYOUT REVIEW
RETAIL DESIGN FAQ
CAN THIS BE DONE REMOTELY? Yes. It definitely can be done remotely. I have done hundreds of remote retail designs and assessments over the past 20 years. It is a most efficient and effective method for spatial planning and product placement.
WHAT PLANS DO YOU NEED? I need a floor plan with dimensions. I have worked with a hand drawn mud map or a floor plan created by a draftsman. If you have architectural drawings, that's perfect but not entirely necessary.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE? A retail design typically takes between one week and two. In some cases it takes longer if the client is extremely busy and has a slow response time.
