    The Effect of Storefront Appearance on Shopper Behavior

    A review of relevant research reveals studies dating back to the early 1970s that focus on facility-based environmental cues, or atmospherics, and their effect on shopper attitude and decision modeling. However, inadequately explored is the specific effect that storefronts and retail exteriors have on shopper choice. Through the use of cross-sectional consumer surveys, this study will measure the importance of storefront appearance on retail patronage, as well as rank aspects of retail exteriors as they relate to shopper selection and loyalty. In addition to measuring the importance of storefront appearance, this article will determine how to prioritize physical aspects of retail facades that make the greatest impact on shopper approach behavior.…

    Why We Buy Paco Underhill Summary

    Everything can be broken down and resolved by science, even something as common as shopping. Why We Buy was written by author Paco Underhill, an environmental psychologist, in 1999. In Underhill’s book, he studies and records the behaviors of shoppers in multiple retail stores. Underhill’s goals are to aid in increasing sales for the store, to enhance the layout of the store, and to advance accessibly and comfort for the shopper. His book is a record of his findings and contains five sections. For this project, I chose to observe the J. Crew Mercantile in Rookwood and relate my findings there back to the book.…

    Atmospheric Cues in Retail Stores

    Retailers are finding it more and more difficult to differentiate themselves from their competition, specifically based on the four Ps of marketing; product, place, price and promotion. They have been forced to inquire about diverse and distinctive atmospheric cues, in order to attract and maintain customers and their loyalty. According to (Morrison, 2001), elements such as colour, lighting, layout, and display features have been considered as having an immediate effect on the buying decision making process, and focus has moved from in-store product displays toward elements that excite the senses of shoppers, such as: screen videos and graphics, music, smell, lighting, flooring, etc. All of these things have a tendency to capture brand image and personality to help create a unique environment and shopping experience. Customer attitudes and perceptions relating to the complete value of the store, in terms of distinctiveness of the product and service levels, can be influenced by the atmospheric cues within the store.…

    Store Layout and Design

    Introduction to Store Layout Management. Retailers can use the retail store itself to initiate and continue their relationship with customers. A. The store itself (e.g., its layout) has the potential to overcome many of the negative attitudes/emotions customers may carry as they enter a retailer’s store. 1. 2. In fact, no other variable in the retailing mix influences the consumer 's initial perception as much as the retailer 's store itself. The two primary objectives around which all activities, functions, and goals in the store revolve are store image and sales productivity. Store image is the overall perception the consumer has of the store’s environment. b. Space productivity represents how effectively the retailer utilizes its space and is usually measured by sales per square foot of selling space or gross margin dollars per square foot of selling space. In cyberspace, retailers must be concerned with the format of the entire website. In order to drive repeat visits and encourage consumer purchasing on one’s web site, the e-tailer should: a. b. Keep content current. Make the site easy and enjoyable to use. c. Structure an online community where consumers can interact with one another or contribute to the site’s content. B. Elements of the Store Environment – The successful retailer will place a heavy emphasis on designing their physical facilities so as to enhance the retailer’s overall image and increase its productivity. The elements that should be considered are: a. POS signage. b. c. Visual Communications – Retail identity, graphics, and Store Planning – Space allocation, layout, and circulation.
