Retail concepts can vary immensely in success. Naturally, every retailer seeks a distinctive retail concept that stands out in the ‘retail rat race’. One that attracts and retains customers like glue and conquers imitators before they even begin to copycat. In essence, groundbreaking retail concepts achieve a fiercely faithful client base and inarguable market differentiation. So what are the ingredients in the recipe for ravishing retail concepts? Design Clarity draw your attention to foundation stones:
Vision
Retail concepts must be inextricably linked with their target audiences. All mission-critical elements must be sharp as a tack. That means the key value proposition, consumer profile and retail messaging must be strategic and ruthlessly on point.
Evolution
Retail never stands still so concepts must similarly evolve and grow. One of the freedoms retailers enjoy is the potential to ‘road test’ new or diversified concepts with moderate investment and little risk to their existing market. Freshness is key yet retailers can try out diversification of retail concepts and only follow up on those that show promise.
Execution
Retail concepts that bear real fruit are those where resources, processes and capabilities are at the ready to deliver real-time execution.
Culture and value foundation
Organisational culture built on clarity of vision is chicken soup for the retail concepts soul. Strong culture and values steer the ship of all concepts from early implementation to future business growth.
Needs-based
Genuine unmet market needs is the cornerstone of all successful concepts. Spot an unsatisfied consumer desire or requirement then tailor a retail concept in response. You’ll likely find yourself off to a flying start with competitors struggling to catch up.
