attracting patrons from existing potential
customers
• Checklist developed based on five principles of
site evaluation
![Page 29: Unit 4-Retail Store Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050905/5515619e4a7959d2028b51fb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Retail Site Evaluation Principles
1. Interception – customer traffic increases in sites that have an ability to intercept customers.
2. Cumulative Attraction – clusters of similar and complementary retail stores generally have greater drawing power.
3. Compatibility -- the more compatible stores are, the greater the exchange of customers.
4. Congestion -- balance problems with 2 & 3
5. Accessibility
![Page 30: Unit 4-Retail Store Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050905/5515619e4a7959d2028b51fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
To measure accessibility
consider:Number of traffic arteries
Number of traffic lanes
Directional flow of traffic arteries
Number of intersections
Configuration of intersections
Type of medians
Speed limit
Number and type of traffic control devices
Size and shape of site
![Page 31: Unit 4-Retail Store Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050905/5515619e4a7959d2028b51fb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Examples of Visual Merchandising
“Visual Merchandising”, the art of attracting
patrons with visual cues, is central to a retailer’s
ability to generate sales. Visual Merchandising got
its start at the turn of the century, when department
stores began using theatrical set design and lighting
to create exotic displays. Today, the way the
departments are arranged, the location of the
escalators, the lighting--all are carefully planned to
earn the store more sales per square foot.

Examples of Visual Merchandising
Here’s sampling of the techniques stores use to
generate those sales:

Get’m coming and
going. Escalators are
a focal point of many
stores. That makes
them ideal locations
for promotional signs
and for impulse items
like perfume.
![Page 53: Unit 4-Retail Store Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050905/5515619e4a7959d2028b51fb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Examples of Visual Merchandising
Lead them to temptation.
Department-store design
incorporates a gauntlet of
goodies to stimulate impulse
buys. Cosmetics, a store’s
most profitable department,
should always be at the main
entrance to the store.

Examples of Visual Merchandising
Its all in the display. When an
item, such as a watch or a scarf,
is displayed in a glass case, it
implies luxury. An item in a glass
case with a lot of space around it
implies real luxury.

“Bazaar? Behavior”. Even “high fashion”
stores aren’t above using the “dumping”
method to display gloves, leather goods,
scarves, and other small items the same
way bargain stores do. These bins have a
way of suggesting a “good buy.”
![Page 56: Unit 4-Retail Store Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050905/5515619e4a7959d2028b51fb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Examples of Visual Merchandising
Color is king.
Retailers believe
consumers are more
apt to buy clothes that
appear in full size and
color assortments.

Suggestion positioning. Once the
customer has already purchased
one item, it’s easier to sell an
additional item. Thus apparel
retailers strategically place
impulse buys like hair bows and
costume jewelry by the cashier
the same way supermarket
checkouts display candy and
magazines.
