The modern retail environment is no longer limited to transactional exchanges; it has evolved into a space for experiences and engagement. This study examines the impact of visual merchandising (theme-centered vs. product-centered) and shoppertainment (related vs. unrelated) environments on two key consumer behaviors: impulse purchase and social sharing. This study employs a 2 × 2 experimental design in the context of skin care products, examining how these strategies independently and jointly influence consumer responses. The findings highlight the importance of aligning visual presentation with relevant entertainment to maximize both unplanned buying and shareable experiences. This study contributes to the retail and consumer behavior literature, providing practical guidance for retailers seeking to design environments that promote both immediate sales and long-term brand engagement.
