Global Merchandising
and UI Guidelines
Challenge
Groupon needed a consistent global merchandising and UI guideline system that could translate the brand identity across both digital platforms and physical retail environments. The challenge was to align multiple teams and markets around a unified visual strategy while ensuring that product displays, signage, and interface elements clearly reflected Groupon’s brand values. The guidelines also needed to be practical for internal teams and external partners to apply consistently across different merchandising channels and customer touchpoints.
My Approach
Cross-Team Collaboration – Partnered with merchandising and product teams to align visual strategy with business goals.
Brand Alignment – Ensured merchandising guidelines reflected Groupon’s brand identity and visual language.
Guideline Development – Defined standards for product placement, displays, signage, and retail aesthetics.
Omnichannel Consistency – Created a framework to maintain visual cohesion across physical retail and digital platforms.
Practical Implementation – Worked with merchandising teams to apply guidelines in real retail environments and displays.
