Our typical clients are independent merchants and small to medium size chains. Retail store planning and design is the strategic use of space to influence customer purchasing experience in a positive way. Below we have listed some tips to think about when planning your pharmacy retail store:
- The Right Floor Plan – You want a layout that encourages customers to browse your store looking to see what you have available. Position your fixtures and merchandise in such a way that you create a path to guide that guides shoppers around your shop.
- Enough Space – When in an aisle, your customers want to look around without having to move out of the way constantly for other shoppers. If they have baskets or carts, they need to be able to comfortably carry or push them without worry about hitting merchandise.
- Good Lighting – A bright cherry store encourages customers to spend time shopping. They can clearly see what they are looking for, read directions and product information, and feel much more comfortable about the merchandise.
Remember, your floor plan plays a critical role in managing store flow and traffic. The choice of which one is right for you will depend on a number of factors including the size of your store, the products that you sell, and more importantly, your target market.
