- VM labour services and special feature display rendering
"I used VM ID freelance services for Visual support for a seasonal window installation. It was so helpful to have the extra hands while installing windows and exactly the support we needed. The freelancer was professional and we felt very comfortable leaving them to complete the tasks. We definitely are using the freelance visual support again.
We have also used VM ID to help create 3D renderings for instore visuals for an upcoming project. Ani is always professional, has great communication, and asks all right questions to help bring our visions to life."

"We have been working with Ani for a few years and every year, we are always thinking of new ways we can work with her MORE as she is truly the best and it is an absolute delight to work with. Our needs were quite specific; we needed to find an expert in Visual Merchandising that could offer quick, affordable and effective advice to our exhibitors. We work with hundreds of small businesses that exhibit at our events and as it takes 3 seconds to get noticed, an inviting booth display is just as important as having a great product. BUT, how do you do it without spending thousands of dollars and can adapt your display to wherever you may be exhibiting? Ani and VM ID have been able to create effective ways to powerfully serve our community thus making them more successful and making the overall show experience that much more beautiful. From quick and effective 20 minute consultation (where she would need to walk hours at a time but never lost her spark and contagious smile which is a true reflection of her unshakable passion for her work) to designing and producing a complete booth, VM ID always found ways to best serve our community. We would highly recommend her services."

“I own a men’s clothing store and VM ID’s Ani is such a dream to work with! She genuinely cares for her clients’ business like it’s her own. She understands her clients needs, vision, and goals. Her visual merchandising work is immaculate, window displays are elegant and exceptional. Communication is superb! Always on top of every project; she ensures the quality and client satisfaction from planning stage, to day of execution, to follow up.

“I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Ani and her team! My small needlework shop was a blank canvas, and while I had a good grasp of which products I wanted to carry, I had no idea how to merchandize them. Ani stepped in and gave me great pointers for what type of shelving I needed, where to set up different zones as well as suggesting display props. She has great inside knowledge for sourcing fixtures and alerted me about a liquidation sale before I even signed the contract to work together. When it came time to stock all of the products, the process was completely smooth and the store is more beautiful than I could have imagined. Worth every penny."
MICHELLE GALLETTA / OWNER / KIRIKI PRESS
- Consultation services
“I used VM ID's services at the One of a Kind Show back in 2019; it was my first year exhibiting there and they did a consultation/audit of my booth. After taking their notes and suggestions, and re-designing my booth for the next in person OOAK show in 2021, my sales tripled. They are easy to work with and their suggestions are very valuable."
SARA MCINTYRE / OWNER / SARA’S SOAPS AND CANDLES
- Display design and execution services
“I had the pleasure of working with VM ID Inc. for my small business shop set-up in a local market in Toronto Arts Market Riverside. As I was new to needing help for visual merchandising, I took my time to figure out exactly what and when I needed help. Ani was never pushy and was always responsive regarding my timeline. I finally was ready to proceed and Ani made the whole process easy and smooth. The process went very well and was actually quite quick once we had agreed on a direction.
Sales from the space have more than doubled since finishing. I cannot say enough good things about the entire team and their efforts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VM ID Inc. I am sure I will have more spaces in the future and I have only one place to look for all my visual merchandising and set-up needs...VM ID Inc.!"

“Ani is truly amazing at what she does! We didn't realize how much we needed a visual merchandiser until we met Ani. She is a true professional and is extremely talented. Ani was a pleasure to work with and was always responsive to any of our needs. We will continue to use her and her great team. I would highly recommend Ani & VM ID to anyone in a retail setting!!!"

ANJO LOOTS / VM MANAGER CANADA / THE ESTEE LAUDER COMPANIES INC.
- Display design, merchandising planning + execution
“Ani was excellent at listening to what we needed in terms of visual merchandising and developing a suitable planogram that fits our store theme. She brings an unrivaled wealth of experience and creativity to any project. She helped us get the store front and other key areas of the store ready for a three-month promo that led right into the busy holiday season. Within a week of her re-organizing our store front, we had an increase in customer traffic walking into our store and they loved our front display table. We were delighted with the results and will definitely be using her again!"
DANICA SOEKOR / STORE MANAGER / TRADE SECRETS

"Ani and her team are experts in Visual Merchandising... their drive to deliver against customer insights and brand alignment is absolutely matched with their desire for perfection in execution! Ani worked with me on two store realignments and upgrades plus research on a new product launch and pop up store / trade show execution. I highly recommend Ani and her team for any business that needs a leg up on the competition and to draw customers into their store and have them increase their spend!"
MICHAEL SKINNER / PRESIDENT / SMI MARKETING
- Consultation + VM Execution
“VM ID was instrumental in helping me plan my trade show booth layout. Ani was super knowledgable and patient, offering many suggestions. Ultimately we came up with a beautiful design. I'm a jewellery designer (Accessories by Talia.) I highly recommend Ani and her company and look forward to using their services again."
TALIA MASSARONI / OWNER / olaeda
- VM Consultation
"WOW! I had never realized how much value a visual merchandiser can offer a company. I was recommended to use Ani's services through the One of A Kind Show team. Ani quickly told me what her honest thoughts were on my ideas for a booth design and layout. She took the foundations of my thoughts and elevated them to the next level. Not only did this make my job easier, on top of everything else she created a report with instructions. Ani is absolutely amazing, kind, intelligent and above all, she is really creative. I am so glad I used Ani’s consultation services and I can't wait to continue working with her for all events in the future. I would highly recommend Ani's services to anyone that is looking for visual merchandising help, you won't regret it!"
ABBIGAIL WARDEN / OWNER / LEX & JOE COLLAR CO.
- VM Consultation
"While exhibiting at the Christmas One of a Kind Show in Toronto, I had the opportunity to have a consultation on my booth set up with visual merchandising consultant, Ani Nersessian. I'm so happy to report that I had the most positive experience with her. Not only was she efficient with her time, she was friendly and effective. From the start of our meeting she was "on," offering me feedback on what was working and what was not for my booth and product display. When I told her why my choices for display were this or that, she offered concrete and sound suggestions and alternatives. Not only did she constructively (and in the most diplomatic of ways) critique my booth, but she asked me about what was important to me regarding my products. With my responses, she gave practical and helpful suggestions on how to convey my vision to my customers. Ani listened carefully and was encouraging as well as realistic. I definitely recommend her services!"
