Retail clients are one of our main sources of business as a commercial construction company, and for good reason. We know the threat online shopping plays on the high street and therefore, the importance of a good shop fitting. Below, we give you some thoughts to consider when refurbishing a retail space to help it leave a positive impression on your customers.
CALL US TODAYSustainability is becoming a key theme in the minds of those investing in commercial refurbishments and office refurbishments. Choosing durable, eco-friendly materials for your retail refurbishment can help reduce your company’s carbon footprint and repair costs. Being environmentally friendly is an admirable trait for all businesses in Guildford and elsewhere, so it’s good to incorporate this into the design of your retail space. Our commercial builders and dilapidation contractors can point you in the right direction when choosing reusable or recycled materials that complement your space and your company values.
When refurbishing a shop, functionality is a key aspect you must consider in design. Put yourself in the customer's shoes and think about the experience you would want to have and whether your layout matches this. If you have an idea of your target market, customer footfall, storage and displays, that will also be beneficial when planning your new shop design.
Different types of natural and artificial lighting can enhance the customer experience depending on their use. Sunshine entering your store can help customers see products better, while artificial lighting can draw attention to specific displays and other parts of your shop. The lighting you use can also set the atmosphere throughout the shop space, so you want to think about what kind of mood you want your employees and customers to feel.
Often when thinking about shop space, most of the attention is given to the floor space. However, adding height to your retail unit can be equally advantageous. It improves the visual appearance of products, and it’s proven that products displayed at eye level are more likely to be bought by consumers. This can help your shop feel less cramped and optimise the display of your products.
Like the office refurbishments and other commercial refurbishments we work on in Guildford, company branding should be in your thoughts. You can use the design elements in your shop to link to your company’s brand identity, making it consistent with how you portray your company in-store and online. It can be as simple as using the same colours as your brand or decoration and signage that matches your company’s identity. Our commercial builders and dilapidation contractors will happily facilitate this and all other design elements as part of your refurbishment project.
