Smart Global – Merchandising for a Premium Interior Brand
Retail Merchandising & Visual Activation for Premium Interior Brand
Smart Global
Smart Global, a respected name in luxury interior products, needed a field merchandising partner to bring their refined brand image to life in retail spaces. They partnered with Upturn Ark to ensure their presence in showrooms and trade outlets matched their brand’s modern, premium identity. The objective was simple: turn brand perception into an in-store reality that resonates with both customers and consultants.

Notable Achievement
Translating Premium Identity into Real-World Retail Impact
Upturn Ark transformed Smart Global’s showroom presence from static to strategic by embedding the brand’s refined identity across every visual and touchpoint. While the brand had a well-designed image, it lacked structured in-store execution. Through our efforts, Smart Global now owns consistent, impactful presence in retail and trade locations, aligning with its promise of elegance and functionality.
We elevated Smart Global’s retail visibility by turning shelves and displays into brand storytelling platforms—bringing their premium aesthetic to life while influencing purchasing behavior at the point of decision. Our structured field merchandising introduced discipline into previously ad-hoc displays and created shopper confidence through product clarity and presentation.
By equipping retail staff, improving visual layout consistency, and reporting market insights regularly, we gave Smart Global the strategic advantage needed to compete at showroom level—where design, detail, and delivery matter most. The brand now enjoys increased foot traffic, stronger retailer relationships, and greater influence among interior consultants.
