Store Design

Store design is the most important aspect in trying to attract customers. Planning a retail layout must include the best use of space. There must be a balance between the amount of products sold and space available for customers to shop. The interior design must also be customized to the products that are sold. Additionally, the layout must look inviting to customers from the outside of the store. Tactical planning for store designs place retail fixtures far enough apart from each other for easy customer traffic movement.

Typical Retail Fixtures for Store Design

Most bookstores are designed with portable fixtures such as a slatwall cube, with newly released books placed outside of the store to entice potential customers. Inside the bookstore, gondolas are usually placed in the middle of the room or toward the back. Large shelves are placed on the side in the front of the shop for magazines, providing enough space for readers to browse. There are only a few portable shelves in the front to keep traffic flowing to the checkout counter. The entire environment feels subdued and calm. Customers do not feel any pressure to shop.

Proper spacing between fixtures allows customers to move freely. In fact, interior designers suggest using a layout that allows for a space big enough for at least two people in between fixtures.
