to create the world’s best shopping experience, maintain good relations with customers and improve sales in shops, banks and shopping malls.

FOR RETAILERS7STEPS

DRAW CUSTOMERS INThe purchasing process does not start at the entrance to a store, but at the moment the need is realized. Ensure your brand is associated with a fast, convenient and hassle-free answer to the needs of customers.

Consider all branding tools you have at your disposal. Consciously use your logo, brand colors, typography and illustrations to create a distinctive and consistent image across all channels used to communicate with customers.

1SHOPPING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

PREPARE FOR EVERY VISIT Think of yourself as the host of your point of sale. You have great influence on its function and appearance, but remember that your guests start judging everything from the very beginning of their visit. Examine the most common scenarios of customer visits and plan appropriate conditions to meet different needs. Create a desired experiences map. Take advantage of the arrangement, colors and finishes to make customers feel safe and relaxed at every stage of their visit.

Avoid aggressive advertising and visual chaos at all cost. Focus on the products; they are the target of almost every visit. Build your self-image discreetly.By previously visiting the store, customers have already shown they value your brand. Now is the time to fulfill your promises.

2SHOPPING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

The sense of control, resulting from a good orientation in space, is a necessary condition for a successful shopping experience. Provide customers with natural, ergonomic and clear wayfinding. Contrary to popular belief, this will not reduce time spent in your store, but will help customers become better acquainted with your offer.

Never allow customers to feel lost and wander for too long seeking what they came for.

Remember, the design of your wayfinding and information systems is as important as your logo and forms a major part of your brand identity.

HELP CUSTOMERS DECIDE If possible, always provide customers direct contact with your products. Allow them to touch, listen, smell and try.

Remember, this is your store, not your warehouse. It is a place where customers visit, and before making a final decision, feel for a moment like owners of selected products.

Be sure to provide customers with relevant information about products, while not obstructing direct contact with the products. The price tag is the most interesting part of your identification. Do your best to ensure that its design is as good as the product it accompanies.

4SHOPPING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

PRESENT ADDITIONAL OFFERSBesides the original reason of their visit, customers often have other shopping needs and only need to be gently reminded or suggested of these needs. Offer complimentary products and associated services.

Try to show complete solutions to common needs and a range of products that customers usually buy together. However, remember to not obstruct customers’ primary targets with overly aggressive POS communication, especially temporary posters, as this often spoils the relaxed atmosphere essential to a good shopping experience.

5SHOPPING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

REMOVE SHOPPING BARRIERS Do everything you can to make the purchase process as smooth as possible. Focus on the least enjoyable aspects. Simplify all important information, try to shorten queues, ensure your staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always available. Provide various payment options and support a range of credit cards and installment plans.

Do not allow customers who wish to return products to wait. Quality problems always occur. The ways in which you solve such problems determine if you lose a customer or create a loyal customer.

6SHOPPING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

CONVINCE CUSTOMERS TO RETURNA good understanding and use of these seven tips will ensure customers return. However, always remember that the final stage of a customer’s visit is your last chance to share positive emotions.

Try to pleasantly surprise customers with little details or at least by saying a memorable “goodbye”.
