Designing a great store is an exercise in aligning a series of
seemingly minor elements that, when taken together, become something truly powerful. The formula begins with
understanding that customers aren’t buying “stuff”. They’re
buying their aspirations – the image of life as they want it to be; the image of themselves as they would like to be seen by others. If you’re selling them “stuff” they’ll be unimpressed, and your sales will show it. If you can sell them their own idealized self image, the stuff will fly off the shelves.

There are certain fundamental elements of great store design that will make that connection with your customer on a gut level. You’ve probably read about some of them. The
