| Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes a fundamental sales and marketing skill for those working within the service industries and applies to the full range of industry sectors and environments. Promotional displays or stands are set up and operated in a range of contexts, including trade or consumer shows, meeting or conference events, in-house promotions, window displays, visitor information centre displays and shopping centre promotions. They might be used to promote any product, service, or event; a group of products being cooperatively marketed; or even a whole city, region or tourist precinct.This unit does not include all the skills of a specialist display designer or visual merchandiser. Rather, it reflects the more general display skills needed by a large range of service industry personnel involved in sales and marketing activities. Frontline sales and marketing personnel who operate with some level of autonomy or under limited supervision and guidance from others would be responsible for setting up displays or stands. | ||
