11th Annual Visual Victories Awards

The Best-of-the-Best

Specialty Retail Report is pleased to present the 21 winners of our 11th Annual Visual Victories Awards, celebrating excellence in visual merchandising!

Visual Victories recognizes the creative retailers, skillful visual merchandisers and dedicated specialty leasing professionals who worked in concert to create the imaginative displays, props and signage featured on the following pages.

This year's winners were announced live at SPREE, the Specialty Retail Entrepreneur Expo & Conference, held in mid-April in Las Vegas. For those of you who couldn't make it to this year's (sold-out!) SPREE show, we hope you'll join us in relaying a heartfelt "Congratulations!" to these exceptional industry leaders.

The Visual Victories Awards celebrate the best-of-the-best in seven categories:

• Best Cart Display
• Best Kiosk Display
• Best Store Display
• Best Promotional Display
• Best Store Signage
• Best Use of a Prop
• Most Improved Retail Display

In addition to acknowledging innovation and creativity in visual merchandising, the Visual Victories Awards are meant to inspire you and generate ideas that you can use to draw more customers to your cart, kiosk or in-line store.

We salute all of the winners, and the runners-up, who put their blood, sweat and tears into their visual merchandising—and the results speak for themselves.
