Now more than ever, your retail store needs to stand out from the crowd. With the rise in digital consumerism and an abundance of retail stores, drawing in foot traffic can be difficult. Consider these creative ways to make your storefront stand out.
Add a Bit of Flash
You’ll want your storefront to be eye-catching enough to bring in new customers. If your building is older and looks like it’s seen better days, try repainting your business with a vibrant and unique color to stand apart from the others surrounding you. If repainting isn’t in the cards, a bright sign or some lights can do the trick to draw in customers.
Use Some Greenery
During the spring and summer months, using plants in your displays can bring some life to your storefront. Of course, make sure the flowers or plants you choose match the tone of your business.
Change up the Display
Change up your displays often, and make them topical. Don’t just wait for the seasons to change your window display, either. Add pop culture references often, such as putting a football helmet on your mannequin in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
Eye Level Is Buy Level
Don’t forget when setting up displays that eye level is buying level. You’ll want all your hard work to be visible to passersby. Make sure your best offerings are at eye-level and put others in the background. The goal is for people walking by to not have to search for a reason to come in but to see a reason to enter your store without even trying.
Utilize Message Boards
Having a message board that you can customize time and time again, like a chalkboard, is a great investment and a creative way to make your storefront stand out. Like changing your displays often, you can use this sign to change up your messaging and add personality to your displays. Try writing silly messages or even telling jokes instead of just telling people to check out your sales.
