Attracting Customers to your Retail Premises

It’s very easy to get excited and caught up in all the trappings of digital marketing – such as social media and eCommerce – and while hugely important in modern trading, it’s also vital to not overlook your physical shopfront. If your business sitio web como este depends heavily on passing trade and enticing customers inside to browse, or on its ability to supply practical products in an efficient manner, it’s important to ensure the experience is exciting and visually pleasing as well as easy to navigate, making customers want to return. It might be worth considering some of the following design approaches to making your shopfront appealing and welcoming, all of which can be designed and outputted through AlphaGraphics large format printer and cutting table.

Window Displays

Large format printing on clear adhesive vinyl can give an instant overhaul to tired windows. From full to semi coverage and varying print transparencies, it’s easy to achieve an instant facelift for an older shop front, bring a modern business up to date, or provide privacy for both customers and stock. Attract foot-traffic with large cut out shapes and text on light and durable foamboard, which can also be constructed into 3D shapes and structures.

For short-term changes, add sale stickers and messages to customers.

Personalised Wallpaper

Visually impactful, digital wallpaper can instantly alter a space and tailor it to tell your message. From forests in your office to sky scenes in the boardroom, from a company timeline to the business’ ethos in reception, it can instantly refresh and enliven any space and give your building personality. From our inventive design team, to large format print and fitting, AlphaGraphics can look after every aspect.

Flooring

When developing premises, many business owners tend to direct their attention from the skirting boards upwards. Flooring is often overlooked, which in fact could be a powerful sales tool. From a practical point of view, it could be used to direct customers to certain areas of interest, work as signage or provide store information. For design purposes, a beautiful floor, unusual pattern or logo walkway could add the finishing touch, and a talking point, helping your store stand out from the crowd. A simple customised doormat can offer a personal welcome to each customer, and starts their journey positively from the moment they set foot in the door.

Shelf Design & Merchandising

Shelves are the perfect opportunity to buy additional advertising space and cross-sell. Shelf-strips not only clean up the presentation of tired shelving, but also give the opportunity to suggest accompanying products, potentially increasing each customer spend. Segmentation and categorising various lines makes the experience easier for the consumer, and shows products off in their best light. Alternative forms of merchandising can showcase promotions and special offers.

Signage

The most basic of components within a retail setting, good signage can add extra value to your business; from pointing customers to the café for impulse purchases, to making toilets visible and accessible. As well as practical uses, decorative signage can also add to the overall feel of the environment, creating a warm ambience for customers to shop. External signage also has the power to draw customers in. A well designed, modern and eye-catching shop sign can instantly give a strong indication of the type of business within, the price range of the products and the demographic. A-boards outside are also a great way to advertise special offers or services, which might not be obvious from the outside.

Roll-Up Banners

Ideal for short term promotions, representing the retail unit at events, or practical and easy to store non-permanent signage, banners provide a fast and cost effective way of displaying information and adding colour into a space.

Triangle Boards

Perfect to fit round lamp posts and bollards, triangle boards can advertise and signpost your location from the car park or high street – perfect if you’re tucked away and external advertising space is limited.

Large Weatherproof Banners and Flags

In all-weather, hardwearing substrate, large banners are great for highlighting products and special offers in outside space. They can also be used to segregate areas in large spaces, particularly in outdoor spaces. Flags can also be popular for premises with outdoor areas, and add a contemporary source of colour and branding.
