How successful is your store design?
You invest heavily in your retail space from monthly rent to buildouts to ongoing maintenance. But is your store design actually delivering a return on that investment?
Most retailers assume their well-trained sales staff is enough to drive sales. But what happens when your team is busy helping other customers, or a shopper enters with a companion who’s left to browse alone? That’s when your store design needs to do the selling for you.
In her latest article for The Jewelry Collective, Retailworks founder Lyn Falk presents four critical questions every retailer (regardless of products sold) should ask to evaluate whether their store design is truly contributing to their bottom line.
From this TJC article, you’ll discover how to assess:
- Whether your storefront is actually stopping traffic and drawing people in
- if cusotmsers are experiencing your entire store or just shopping one section
- How long visitors are staying and what that reveals about your space
- Whether you’re creating the emotional engagement that drives 85% of purchases.
The answers to these questions will reveal if your store is working as hard as it should be.
