This course is for retailers to help them to better attract shoppers into their store.
So who is Kevin Moore and how can you benefit from his professional experience? In this lecture, Kevin explains how he "shops" stores around the world for his retail clients and then reports back to them on what trends he observes and what steps they can take to improve the shopper experience in their own stores. He explains the concept of the "shopper" as opposed to the "customer" and outlines how he observes retail environments he visits to analyse and understand the overall quality of the "shopper experience" in any particular retail environment.
Side-walk interrupters are not new - they've been used since the advent of retailing to help shoppers notice the merchant's store or market stall. You could say it was the 101 of retailing to understand this but it's amazing how many retailers overlook it - and how many shopping malls fail to offer solutions for it to their tenants! In this lecture, you'll see a wide variety of examples that Kevin has observed whilst on his Road to Retail trips.
So you've stopped the shopper on the side-walk and helped them notice your store from the outside. So how do you entice them to enter? The window display is one major way!
In this section, Kevin shows some of the techniques such as colour blocking, cross promotions, big displays, small displays, manufacturers branded point-of-sale etc that retailers use to increase foot-fall into their stores. This section shows lots of examples including some great examples of retail theatre.
Rush, rush, rush! How do you slow the shopper down to notice your products? In this section, Kevin shows lots of examples of decompression zones from very simple to more elaborate - to the best of all: the human decompression zone!
This is one trend that has been going global rapidly over the last few years. Retailers realised that it was better to allow the shopper to see around the whole store rather than stacking shelves to the ceiling to maximise usage of air-space. In this section, Kevin shows how many retailers have grasped the benefits of getting this right but how some still haven't! Have you?!
