Ways to enhance the appeal of your retail store
The main objective of operating a retail business is to get more shoppers to come into your store and encourage them to make purchases which will increase your revenue and profits. Visual merchandizing plays a very important role in archiving this objective.
Research shows that a majority of consumers are making purchase decisions at the time of purchase and therefore how the products are displayed is of vital importance and has a direct co relation to the volume of sales.
With most retail outlets having limited space it is important to maximize the utility of that space to create as much display space as possible. One can use a gridwall and slatwalls to display items in the store.
It is important that the display is not cluttered and that it is well organized. The shelves should be well stocked without cramming it. A cluttered store will only turn people away from it.
Making the information about the product such as the price available by using an acrylic sign holder will allow the customer to make a decision about making the purchase faster than if he had to go and look for the necessary information. You can also have brochures with information and promotional material placed at strategic locations in the store.
These should be well displayed using brochure holders which can be purchased from Display Warehouse.
Make sure that there is room in the store for customers to move about freely. Having good lighting is also very important. Creating a relaxed atmosphere with light music and soothing fragrance will encourage the shopper to spend more time in the store.
It is not only the inside of the store that should be well presented. Lot of attention should be paid to the exterior. The display outside should be made to look attractive to entice customers to walk in. A gridwall showcasing eye catching items as well as items that are on sale, with the prices well on display on an acrylic sign holder would be helpful.
Analyze the products on sale and decide where each item should be displayed for maximum exposure. Essential Items need not be kept in a prominent space, they will be purchased anyway, and it is the non-essential items that should be made to look enticing with brochures in brochure holders giving information about such products.
All the necessary store fixtures can be purchased from stores such as Display Warehouse which has a wide range of such fixtures.
