Store design is difficult, no matter what city you are designing in; London, Sydney, Paris, Melbourne – they all showcase the best stores designed by some of the best retail designers on the planet.

However, where there is great store design, there are also mistakes – good and bad go hand in hand in design. Let us take you through some retail design mistakes to avoid when getting your store designed.

1. Choosing the wrong property.

Let’s start at day dot. Hire your store designer well in advance of even renting or buying the property that you intend to use for your store. If you get them on board beforehand they can advise you on what type, size, location and many other important features you should consider. This could save you loads of time and money in the long run.

2. Getting the lighting wrong.

Bad lighting will directly affect your customers experience of the store. It sounds far fetched, but this can sometimes make them leave the store, meaning they do not make a purchase. Lighting creates mood, and customers in a good mood are more likely to purchase your product.

3. Insufficient and incorrect storage space.

Without proper planning and calculations of how much stock you estimate to turn over you can run into problems with getting a retail store that is too big or too small. A good store designer can advise you on this issue. In addition, buying shelving and merchandising racks that look good, but aren’t functional is another no-no – leave it to the professionals to suggest what is best.

4. Not prioritising the checkout area.

Many store owners forget that the checkout area is one of the most important design obstacles of the whole store. They assume that once the customer gets there they have the sale in the bag, literally, but this is not always the case. Over cluttered or obstructed exits are a hindrance and do not give the customer a good last impression of the store. Retail designers will give this area the attention it deserves.

The heart of any bricks-and-mortar business is the shop or store. It’s where the magical happens, and by magic we mean sales. If your customers walk into your shop and then immediately out again, you can bet a large part of that decision making came down to the shop design.

Londoners can be fickle, they like aesthetically pleasing things, and really – who doesn’t? Your store has to entice them from the outside and make them want to stay once they step foot inside. Stay and buy your product, and enjoy the experience (so that they can tell their friends and grab you more potential customers).

The importance of getting professional advice from a shop designer

In order for your shop design to be as attractive, pleasing and convenient as possible for your customer you must consult the experts. A professional store designer can bring so much to the table, designing you:

• Beautiful, functional, timeless and durable spaces that will not need to be refreshed again in 12 months. This saves your business money in the long run.
• Source local, sustainable, and non-toxic furniture, equipment, and finishes as required.
• Conform with a variety of structural aspects such as architecture and building codes, saving you time and money.

No matter what you sell or offer as a service, branding is of utmost importance. Having a strong and memorable brand is the best thing you can do for your business, so it goes without saying that hiring experts to help you with it is one of the smartest business moves you will ever make.

3 reasons why branding is important for your business:

• Branding creates business credibility. Professional logo and product design coupled with great packaging and a seamless in-store (including online shop) presence means you look trustworthy to spend money on.
• Branding creates a connection between the product and the customer. This means that your customer identifies with your brand and wants to be part of the community surrounding it. More community members, more popularity, more sales. Simple.
• Branding helps motivate your customer. And by motivate, we mean buy your product or pay for your service. Professionally branded businesses seem, well, more professional and that means customers are more likely to choose them over others.

Bankwest were recently crowned ‘Bank of the Year 2011’ by Smart Investor magazine – could interior design be one of the reasons?

As a company, Bankwest are trying to be a little different to the other banks. They are trying to stand out in many different aspects, such as opening branches on a Sunday, and interior design is definitely one of their iconic differences.

Bank designers in their element

Design Clarity have worked on three projects for Bankwest; a flagship store, an ‘iceberg’ store and a retail kiosk. Let’s chat about what they did for each bank design:

1. Bankwest Flagship Store: The client briefed in that they would like a new innovative concept that stemmed from their original East Coast branch model while also linking the design with their 116 year history and the local WA community. Design Clarity introduced a streetscape concept for the next generation of Bankwest banking complete with zones for innovation and future-proofing. Incorporating the brand colours of orange and white with modern materials of glazed glass and a clever floor design for a free-flowing customer journey throughout the branch.
2. Bankwest Iceberg Model: A unique bank design model around a central idea of friendly ‘stores’ rather than traditional branches. This bank design ensured that customers were happier to visit the branch because there were shorter queues due to the cafe-style banquettes and semi-private consultation booths.
3. Bankwest Express: A kiosk retail banking concept that acted as a highly visible brand ‘signpost’ in the middle of shopping malls. The initial site launched in Karrinyup, Perth early in 2011 with very positive customer feedback.
