The following virtual services address selling floors ≤ 1500. Have a larger selling floor? No problem – call us to discuss fees for your project.
The first of our virtual design services starts with a basic layout of your selling floor. This includes a discussion of your layout needs/goals and current challenges of the space. Bubble diagrams (high level schematic plans) are then created showing department adjacencies. Finally, a CAD drawing is provided showing fixture/furniture layout (both existing and recommended fixtures & display pieces), cash wrap, and any other functional items necessary for your retail operation. This service is a great way to get customers walking your entire selling floor!
Investment (if floorplan is already in CAD): 1200
Investment (if floorplan is hand drawn): 1700
Does your store need more visual excitement? Does it have an outdated color palette? Looking to bring a splash of color in? Based on your overall branding palette, we will select paint, wall coverings, flooring, ceiling, laminates, and wood tones as necessary to bring your space to life. This information will be denoted on a CAD plan (if you have one), or in a document with the specifications necessary for ordering the finishes.
Investment: 1000
Furniture and ready-made fixtures and display pieces will be detailed in a document showing images and ordering information (unless Retailworks has to place the order as some vendors won’t sell direct to a retailer/end user). If custom designs for fixtures are involved, these will be detailed in a CAD drawing illustrating dimensions and finish details for fabricators to use. We can also provide quotes for these custom pieces if you don’t have a fabricator on hand.
Investment (stock pieces): 750
Investment (custom): 1500
Lighting is the most important design element in a store interior, and most retailers have a hard time getting it right. Placement of light fixtures throughout the space will be detailed on a CAD drawing (if you have one), or in a document with details for the light fixtures, noting necessary lighting levels, color rendering index, and types of illumination.
Investment: 1000
Effective branding is critical, as is communication with your customers. This service will locate important signage throughout your store, with locations being delineated in CAD drawing (if you have one), or in a document with recommendations on sizes, materials, and content for the messaging. Templates for the overall look of the various types of signs will also be created. Finally, we will give you a separate sign guidelines document with all the details needed for a sign company to produce the signs.
Investment: 1500
Need a storefront upgrade? Everything from signage, paint colors, materials, lighting, awnings, and decorative elements will be included in this phase. You will receive Photoshopped (or 3D renderings) and annotated images with all the details needed for a contractor to complete your project.
