Various new distribution styles are appearing and the competition is becoming more tense as time goes on due to the rapid change of distribution market. Among them, department stores are deploying their business with the strategy of high grade quality and differentiation. Various clothes brands booths in department stores are spending much efforts on setting up the space of sales floor to promote sales and to improve images of differentiation.
This study is about the display and presentation of sales booths of men's traditional casual clothes among various brands of clothes in department stores and suggests the display method of sales booths within the limited space of department stores. The existing method of presentation of sales booths was deployed on the base of visual viewpoint of customers from outside. However, in this study, I tried, away from the method of displaying according to visual viewpoint of customers circulation from outside, to suggest the method of display composition and presentation by dividing important sections of department stores according to visual viewpoint of customers in consideration of customers circulation inside sales floors.
First of all, this study analyzes VMD environment of men's traditional casual brands in department stores. I research and analyze the market status of men's traditional casual clothes per each brand by comparing VMD environment of department stores with environment of road shops focused on MP ( merchandising presentation). And next, I study about customer's circulation, space, and viewpoint to suggest presentation of sales booths according to the circulation and viewpoint. I study about customer's circulation and viewpoint inside of limited space of department stores and also study about fixtures, lay-out, products, display, and presentation under such space and conditions. Base on this study, I divide sales floor by different types and study customer's circulation and its characteristics per each divided sales section. I study inside customer's circulation of each divided sales section according to the size, proportion, and open space of sales floor and customer's circulation of outside sales floor.(department stores). I study and suggest display composition and presentation per each divided important section by finding the changing visual viewpoint of customers according to customer's circulation after entering department stores and by dividing important sections of sales floors according to changing visual viewpoint of customers mentioned. I suggest presentation method per each section in consideration of lay-out of fixtures and composition of wall setting. As a result of that study, I suggest by composing scenario as the basic pattern of the box type sales booth in regular rectangular shape with the opening of one side among various sales booths types.

The path of flow of customers who entered into sales floor are also different according to different patterns of such divided sales floors and customer's circulation of outside department stores. Besides these factors, it must be considered of customer's circulation of customers outside and inside sales floors and its subsequent visual viewpoint of customers for the presentation that fits customers' situations.
