Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything retail visual directors, brand display leads, and visual merchandising consultants need to know about partnering with SageDoer.
We build a detailed, visual scoring rubric directly derived from your master VM directive. When store managers upload photos into Yoobic, Zipline, or StoreForce, your VA grades them against specific criteria: correct mannequin outfit layers and arm poses, proper hanger color and 1-inch spacing, color story blocking left-to-right (light-to-dark or warm-to-cool), table stack heights, and correct promotional price card placement. Submissions failing criteria are flagged immediately with visual markup callouts returned to the store manager.
Yes. Our VAs are experienced in standard visual merchandising platforms, including Blue Yonder (JDA) Space Planning, DotActiv, SmartDraw, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Canva Pro. Whether updating SKU facings, importing product dimension databases, adjusting bay capacities, or assembling 40-page seasonal lookbook PDFs, they step directly into your workflow with zero ramp-up downtime.
Brand confidentiality and IP security are strictly enforced. All SageDoer visual merchandising assistants sign comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We access your Digital Asset Management (DAM) libraries and cloud storage (Bynder, Brandfolder, Google Drive, Box) using enterprise password managers (1Password, Bitwarden) with mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and least-privilege role permissions. Unreleased seasonal directives and window concepts never leave your approved secure environments.
Absolutely. Your VA handles the logistical legwork: requesting formal RFQs for custom acrylic risers, pedestals, mannequins, hangers, and vinyl window graphics. They compile price comparison matrices, raise purchase orders, check digital print proofs against CMYK and dimension specs, track multi-store drop-ship tracking numbers, and log damaged prop replacements with freight carriers.
Your Dedicated Project Manager is your single operational touchpoint who oversees your VA at zero extra charge. They manage daily queue prioritization (such as urgent floor-set launch audits), perform rigorous quality control on planograms and lookbook exports before you review them, track task milestones, and monitor attendance. If your primary assistant takes planned time off, your PM seamlessly trains and deploys internal backup coverage so your seasonal retail rollout deadlines are never compromised.
None. Our pricing model is 100% transparent: you pay strictly for the verified working hours of your dedicated visual merchandising assistant ($6/hr on Full-Time or $7/hr on Part-Time). All onboarding, management supervision, Dedicated Project Manager coordination, and time tracking software are completely free.
