The Importance of Your Store’s First Impression
Just as the saying goes, “you only have one chance to make a good impression”, so does your store. Your store’s entrance needs to fix a customer’s attention and give them the right sensory information in order to turn them from a mere “passer-by” into a customer. Your store’s interior needs to convey what your brand stands for and inspire a customer to trust you to help them make a purchase decision.
