FORUM WORKSHOP<br />
A product that’s much in demand is often<br />
placed in the back, compelling shoppers to<br />
walk through the store and visually sample<br />
everything else the store has to<br />
<br />
offer. Related products and accessory<br />
items are placed<br />
nearby as well as in other areas<br />
to give shoppers several opportunities<br />
to consider them.<br />
While in the stores, also note how different retailers<br />
address security issues in the setup of<br />
the sales floor. Checkout counters, almost always<br />
staffed, typically sit where the employee<br />
has a direct line of sight to all areas of the store.<br />
Sometimes this vantage point is near the front<br />
door, or in a counter kiosk slightly elevated<br />
above the rest of the sales floor. In stores with a<br />
lot of angles, concave mirrors or video cameras<br />
serve as practical and psychological deterrents<br />
to pilferage. Security poses such a critical issue,<br />
and protection against theft and pilferage is<br />
such an important consideration, the start-up<br />
retailer should seek expert advice. Store designers<br />
bring a thorough knowledge of security issues<br />
to the projects. If you’re not using one, at<br />
the very least set up a consult with a local security<br />
firm, preferably one specializing in commercial<br />
or retail accounts. You’ll find them<br />
listed online and in the phone book.<br />
FLEXIBLE DESIGNS WILL<br />
TRANSLATE INTO SAVINGS<br />
Taking all these into consideration,<br />
you should plan a certain degree of<br />
flexibility into your store design.<br />
