The visualization, presentation, management, seduction and digital merchandising allows to achieve very favorable results, its effectiveness is therefore demonstrated, and not only applicable to physical stores, but also to digital spaces, guaranteeing attraction of new customers and substantial increases in the sales of any company. Finally, it is important to conclude that the businesses that began to update to the new digital merchandising model have had a strong increase in sales, new customers and expansion to different audiences, perhaps forced by the great disruptive agent of COVID-19, but without certainly here to stay.
