Linda Cahan Biography

With over 25 years of speaking experience, Linda has been lucky enough to speak around the world for major corporations (American Express, Singer, United Rentals, Pantaloon, National Retail Federations - to name just a few) on topics related to all aspects of retail presentation, customer service and promotions.

As an expert in visual merchandising and store design, Linda consults with retailers on increasing sales through improved visual strategies including help with overall presentation, fixturing, store layout and design, renovations, color and materials, display, lighting and signage. She also does hands-on VM training sessions for retailers based on their standards, image and brand.

Working with the concepts of Feng Shui for 17 years, Linda brings this knowledge into her work to help retailers achieve balance and success with their ventures.

Linda Cahan gives seminars & workshops around the world, is a columnist for several retail magazines, writes custom visual standards manuals, trains retailers in all aspects of VM & SD and is the author of "Feng Shui for Retailers" and "100 Displays Under $100." Linda also taught at Parsons School of Design in NYC for 12 years and now teaches part-time at The Art Institute of Portland.

Linda's philosophy in giving seminars is to give as much information as possible, make it clear and easy to implement. Attendees walk out of her seminars inspired to make changes to their stores, offices and homes. The seminars are very slide-intensive with usually at least 150 - 250 photo slides to keep people entertained, educated and help them remember the ideas offered during the session. Each of her sessions are customized for the group, client or organization. Below are just a few of her seminars:
