Corporate Identity: Your logo and tag line (if you have one)
appear on signs, bags, business cards, letterhead, ads,
flyers... they are a powerful representation of your brand.
They should be current, consistent, and on target with who
you are as a company.
Space Planning: A store should unfold for the customer like
a good book; every chapter planned to pull the customer into
and through the store, with a happy ending at the cash
register.
Visual Merchandising: Displays should tell stories about the
merchandise, validate its value, and cross-sell groups of
products, not just single items.
Lighting: Lighting should make the store feel welcoming and
easy to understand, and draw customers to merchandise like
moths to a flame.
Signage and Graphics: Signs and graphics should position
your brand, create a lifestyle image that appeals to your
customer, help them find their way, and provide information
the customer needs to make a purchasing decision.
Color and Materials: The finishes in your store should
match seamlessly with your brand image and with the quality
of the merchandise. They should create a mood that makes
the customer say, “Now, this is me.” >>
