As a retailer, one of your main goals is increasing sales, which you can do by getting the attention of potential customers with a floor display and other design elements. Just like with other retail displays, the floor display will have a significant impact on whether customers decide to stay in your store and keep browsing, potentially leading to a purchase. Follow these floor display tips to draw in your customers’ eyes and increase sales.
Keep Displays Simple and Clean
One of the most important things to keep in mind with your floor displays is that they should always appear clean and relatively straightforward. Fun displays do grab attention, but they should still have some element of simplicity to avoid being overwhelming. Overcrowded displays turn customers away, while well-organized ones draw them in since they can easily view all the products.
Use Themes
Simplicity and creativity are not mutually exclusive when it comes to floor displays. One of the best ways to get creative and draw in customers’ eyes is with a theme. You want your display to tell a story that your potential clients can understand quickly and want to become part of. Choose a theme that works for the display and run with it.
Set the Displays Up to Create a Path
Even the way that you place each floor display in your store is important for drawing the eye and boosting sales, so you want to create a path that brings potential clients through your store. As a rule, North American stores should start the path to the right of the entrance then take it counter-clockwise, as this is the direction shoppers are naturally inclined to look first. Although you do not have to, you can actually draw a path on your floor that guides customers through the store, particularly if you can work it into your shop’s theme.
Once the path is in place, set up the merchandise correctly to encourage customers to browse as they follow the path, and your sales should increase. Don’t forget to create “speed bumps†in the form of eye-catching displays that will have them stop to examine items in more detail.
