Create a promotional display or stand

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create a display or stand for promotional purposes. It requires the ability to identify the objectives of the promotion, determine the audience, select all display components and assemble the display or stand.

The unit applies to all industry sectors. Individuals working with some level of independence create displays at promotional events or within their own workplaces. This includes sales and marketing personnel, managers, and owner-operators of small businesses. Displays may be used to promote any product, service, or event; a group of products cooperatively marketed, or even a whole city, region or tourism precinct.

This unit does not cover the skills of a specialist display designer or visual merchandiser.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
