Window display is the fine art of displaying store merchandise in the store window.
Window display is emerging as the new mantra in retail and is fast changing from a
dull, uninteresting exhibition of wares in the store window to a dynamic form of
advertising. . Developed countries look at window display as a critical tool of
marketing; however, in India, it is still an emerging concept.

Window display can attract more customers than a hoarding or a television

advertisement. Moreover, it can attract the right kind of customers. In other words,
window display acts as a filter. Only those customers enter the store who have a
fair idea of what products it stocks and are interested in buying them.
Definition

goods or services by an identified sponsor. Advertisers include not only business

Theoretical Framework
What Is Advertising?

Advertising is an audio or visual form

of marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored,
non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or
idea. Sponsors of advertising are typically businesses wishing to
promote their products or services. Advertising is differentiated
from public relations in that an advertiser pays for and has control
over the message. It differs from personal selling in that the
message is non-personal, i.e., not directed to a particular individual.
Advertising is communicated through various mass
media, including traditional media such as newspapers,
magazines, television, radio, outdoor advertising or direct mail;
and new media such as search results, blogs, social media, websites
or text messages.
