TESTIMONIALS:

Visual Merchandising and Store Design Consulting

 

"Linda is a gifted communicator and highly talented visual merchandiser."

G. Murray Stranks, Perennial, Inc.

​

“Linda Cahan is an exceptional individual both professionally and personally. Unlike many who profess to be visual merchandisers or "retail consultants", Linda has the perfect balance of creativity and a view of the ultimate return on investment... She has proven herself in retail projects that ranged from apparel to gifts to high tech both as a consultant and as executive in a corporate retail environment. She is outstanding.”                    Brad Boa, Marketing, Business Strategy Consultant, Dallas Food Desert mitigation advocate

​

“Linda can truly make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I had a very low budget for the first redesign of my retail store. Linda calls on her many years of traditional store design combined with her further study of Feng Shui to bring all the details together. I call on her when I need a new look or a lift in a certain area and she takes what I have plus a few "goodies" that she brings along to create a professional look. She sees the big picture and communicates it very effectively.”                        

Diane Bays, Owner, Healthy Spaces Wellness

​

“Linda has an amazing passion for her work in visual merchandising and store design! She is very observant, quick to analyze a retail space and offers excellent recommendations based on years of experience. Her customers love the results! I highly recommend Linda to any retail store owner.”                                                   

Susan Jenkins, Retail Dimensions, Inc.

“Linda is a knowledgeable retail consultant who provides well thought out recommendations that can be implemented with ease. Linda's creativity and expertise is an immense asset to retail store environments. I highly recommend Linda for all retailers, large or small.”

Holli Woods, Posh & Pine, Bonney Lake, WA

 

“Linda Cahan came in and aesthetically re-purposed my waiting room in a way that invites our patients to relax and feel at home. Quality, service, and her eye for creativity stand out as three essential elements that influenced our decision to bring in Linda and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Thank you Linda!”                   Dr. Elaine Gillaspie, Portland Wellness Center owner and Naturopathic Doctor

​

“I met Linda ten years ago when she moved to West Linn from Connecticut. After learning about her consulting business and talking with her about the activities of the West Linn Chamber, she joined our organization. Linda is friendly and engaging and she quickly made contacts through the Chamber. West Linn has four distinct shopping districts and she offered me great advice for helping them collaborate on promotions that encouraged residents to shop in West Linn. When the Chamber was developing a tourism exhibit to put on display at trade shows, I hired Linda to create a system that was easy to install and visually effective. Linda completed her work on time and on budget. I also booked Linda as a speaker for the West Linn Chamber's Forum luncheon. Her presentation on creating the ideal atmosphere for customers was valuable not only to retailers but to other business owners such as insurance agents, bankers and real estate brokers. More recently, I booked Linda to speak to Hood River's retailers and again, her presentation was filled with ideas that were relevant and easy to implement. Linda's expertise, speaking skills and visually powerful Power Point presentations offered members of the West Linn Chamber and Hood River County Chamber with incredible value.”                               

Mary Closson, Executive Director- Preconception to Infancy Program
