You often read about all of the elements that online businesses need to possess in order to convince their consumers to buy their products or services. However, there isn’t always clear information out there about what retail stores can do to maximize success. When it comes to increasing your small business sales as a shop owner, there are a number of different considerations you can make. Here are seven key features that will help your business transform from shy to sensational.

  • Branded Bags

When your happy customer leaves your store with a purchase, you need to make sure that they have a beautiful branded bag to carry it home in. Wholesale carrier bags come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and designs and you can tailor them to suit your business. Investing in brilliantly branded bags will not only help to spread the word of your business, but it will also create a positive and professional experience with your customers.

  • An Eye Catching Front Window

Grabbing the attention of your customers with a beautiful feature in your window is a sure-fire way to get them interested in what you’re selling. Change up your front window according to the season or an upcoming special occasion to make sure your shop is always on trend and relevant.

  • Clear Signage

You want to make it abundantly clear what your business is, what you have to offer and who you’re selling to, so make sure you invest in clear signage. In many cases, you will be able to create a bespoke design with a reputable company. Think carefully about the fonts, colors and style of sign you choose as this can have a huge impact on the exterior aesthetic of your store.

  • Helpful and Friendly Employees

Your employees can make or break your retail business, so make sure you hire enthusiastic and knowledgeable people that truly care about your industry. Make sure they have relevant customer relations experience and provide them with full training and guidelines before they get started.

  • Soothing Lighting

There are a number of different ways in which lighting can affect a consumer’s experience when shopping in your store. Too bright and they may feel overwhelmed, and too dark, they won’t be able to see your beautiful products!

  • An Enticing Scent

The aroma of a store is a unique trait that can help to build your reputation. There are certain shops that may come to mind when you think about specific scents and smells; this is called brilliant branding and marketing! Think about the aromas that would relate to your ideal customer and use it throughout your store.

  • Tidy and Simple Layouts

If you want to intrigue customers you need to make sure that your store is tidy and well-laid out. Try to remove as much clutter as possible and opt for a minimalist, but attractive vibe wherever you can.

If you can touch all of the bases mentioned above, your store will be elevated in an instant. You will soon find that you are enticing more shoppers and bringing more of your ideal client into your premises when you ensure all of these features are present.
