Store Formats     Store Formats  
An effective store format or store type gives you the basis for delivering a specific offer to a customer type. You can then build your retail planning on all the processes needed to organise the format. Retail Vision can help you define your store formats based on your customer types, your store locations and sizes. We match your customer to the store    

Site Selection     Site Selection Maps

Where are the best sites for your stores? They are either where your customers live, work or where they can easily travel to. You can find the best sites for your customers by using Retail Visions comprehensive site selection tools.

   
Site and Building Planning     Store Layouts

Make the best use of the site. Access, car parks, traffic flow and size of building in relation to the site you will have to consider. How big is the stockroom in relation to the sales floor? Where do I position the service, back up areas, offices, staff facilities and production departments?

   

Space Allocation

   

How much space do you allocate to each category, if you are a supermarket how much space goes to Non-food, Household Ambient Food and Fresh Food? You will need a Space Model allocating the optimum space to each category for each store format and size. Correct space allocation can add 10% to your sales.

   

Store Layouts

    Store Concepts
Your store layouts should be based on your customers decision making hierarchy and allow for ease of movement around the store. Each category should be positioned with the correct space and category adjacencies.    

Store Concepts

   
Once you have your format, space allocation and layout, Retail Vision can give you a complete store concept with all the latest designs ideas and fixtures.
