What Successful Brick-and-Mortar Retailers Get Right From virtual snowstorms to golden locker boxes, today’s thriving stores feature experiences shoppers can’t get online. Consider five successful tactics. https://lnkd.in/gXyvrNPn

Studies have consistently revealed that customers often follow an unconscious triangular pattern when navigating a store. This pattern typically involves entering from the front-right corner, moving towards the back of the store, and then veering left towards the exit. By strategically placing gondolas and displays to guide customers along this natural path, retailers can significantly increase browsing time and ultimately, boost sales. This tactic encourages customers to explore more of the store, encounter a wider range of products, and make impulse purchases. #retail #retailbiz #retailauction #retailproblems #retailworkers #retaillife #retailstores #stores #sales www.yrs.ae

Central Checkouts: Love 'em or hate 'em? 🤔 They might seem strange at first, but there's a method to the madness! 🤯 I've probably been ask the central checkout question 100 times in the last 10 years however it's simple: Think about it: when you walk into a large store, you usually stop just inside (5-6 steps) the entrance to get your bearings, right? That's valuable browsing time ticking away! With central checkouts, stores can maximise space and use merchandise to guide you, creating a smoother shopping experience allowing you to see more in less time. Think big homeware displays leading to the left, kids' PJs to the right – instant navigational cues! This clever design minimises that initial "where do I go?" moment, meaning you spend more time exploring the things you actually want to buy. The result? Increased basket value and a happier shopping experience for everyone! Side note, I can actually count the number of retailers who have registers at the front of their stores on my hands (Coles, Wollies, Target, Big W, Aldi, Spotlight), I couldn't do the same with central checkouts. #retail #storedesign #customerexperience #shoppermarketing #merchandising
