Visual Merchandising is depending on the creativity of the designers. Overloaded areas and dull arrangements result in bored customers. How designers and companies face conformity in shop window displays, you can read here:

"Cities, whose store variety is still intact, like the town of Ludwigsburg for instance prove that an attractive window display can still be justified in the future."
