As a retail store, it's important to ensure your display areas are gleaming, hygienic, and inviting, encouraging foot traffic and sales. A large percentage of your customers are not going to want to shop in a store that is dirty and uninviting. We have put together some tips to help you keep your display areas spotless and inviting:
The first step to ensuring your displays are clean and inviting is to inspect them each morning before you open the doors to customers. Remove any dust, dirt, stains, and assess any damage and wear and tear that may require maintenance. Remove broken, expired, and out of stock items and replace faulty labels, tags, or signs. Ensure your displays are balanced and well lit.
It is important your displays are clean and welcoming throughout opening hours. They need to be safe and functional at all times. Using the right cleaning products and tools, such as a microfibre cloth and spray, you an clean the displays at regular intervals, ensuring they remain inviting and clean at all times. Do not use harsh chemicals. You can use a gentle cleaner to remove fingerprints, smudges, and spills in a safe manner, along with dust removal. All rubbish should be disposed of correctly throughout the day to keep your store smelling clean and fresh.
In order to ensure your displays are spotless and inviting, you will want to update them frequently. Change the displays based on season or special holidays, trends, or even customer feedback. Rotate your products showing different benefits, offers, and features. Remove props and decorations that could detract from the displays. Add new colours or styles to keep your displays relevant and enticing.
On a regular basis take the time to check your displays are functioning safely, especially if it has interactive features or any moving parts. Displays should be safe at all times, they should be secure, sturdy, and stable to make them safe for customers to engage with. Tie up loose wires, cover any sharp edges, and remove protruding objects that could cause damage or injury.
In order to ensure your displays are spotless and inviting, you will need to train your employees to ensure they know the importance of clean displays, along with how often and when they should check them and see if they need reorganising or cleaning. We recommend checking displays after each customer, ensuring they are ready for the next customer.
You are going to want to review and monitor your displays at regular times throughout the day to ensure they are clean and inviting for customers, while ensuring employees are carrying out their duties diligently. Evaluate displays based on effectiveness, cleanliness, and profitability. Adjust your displays as needed.
