Create a Theme

As Valentines Day approaches (and any event for that matter), take the opportunity to create a compelling and interactive theme display. 

Use products your shop is already pushing as you create the display. This can increase your sales and help you move your most profitable products as the next event approaches.

Creating a themed merchandising display also helps your store avoid costly leftovers that must be sold at highly discounted prices.

Hot Spots

Effective merchandising demands the most effective use of available retail space, ultimately seeking to capture the impulse of the customer to buy more and to buy better. An understanding of customer behaviour in the shop, often learned through trial + error and observation can be used as a positive sales tool.

It is telling that large retailers employ policies of shop layout, based upon research and understanding of consumers' purchasing patterns.

An initial consideration is a basic building floor plan, and every shop through it's physical layout will have areas which draw higher traffic, as well as areas of the shop which may not be explored so much for reasons such as congestion (perceived or real) or simply being at a distance from the point of entry.
