How To Choose The Right Shop Fit

It’s important to put real thought into your shop fit and the style you choose speaks volumes about your brand.

From influencing the likelihood of a sale to securing a return visit, there’s a lot riding on creating the best layout for your brand.

So, how do you choose a shop fit? Do you opt for minimalist displays or floor-to-ceiling shelves showcasing your entire product range? It all comes down to what you’re selling and where you’d like to position your brand. Start by answering these simple questions:

• Where is your brand positioned in the market?
• How many products do you want to display – a select few or choices from multiple brands?
• Who is your customer? Where else do they like to shop?
• How have your competitors designed their stores?

For value retailers and larger stores like supermarkets, you want to influence the route of your customers as much as possible to maximise upsell and cross-sell opportunities.

For this style of shop, an easy-to-navigate aisle layout with shelves displaying a variety of choice is ideal (remember to place your most popular products at eye level.

When it comes to premium retail, less is more when it comes to product display.

Instead, use a select few to create beautiful displays. Therefore, display units, counters and cabinets enclosing the most exclusive items, all work well in a premium retail setting. Minimalism is certainly the way to go here – think plenty of space and white backdrops with a streamlined colour palette to create subtle contrasts.
