EXPLORE NEW CUSTOMER'S SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Over the years, retailers have invested tremendous efforts to transform traditional stores into an attractive shopping place, in order to satisfy and retain consumers. The new concept attracts more and more retailers with the deployment of the in-store shopping experience. Indeed, the management of stores by the universal consumption has become a priority for all retailers (universe of perfume, bio, person, leisure, etc).

A strong response to new customer shopping experience is the key for successful store plan building: senses mobilization, atmosphere, intuitive organization and clear in-store signals.

The implementation of this method corresponds to a combination of optimized store plans and planograms from upstream analysis.
