Shop Entrance

  1. Wide open, easy to get in and to what’s see inside
  2. Nice and clean look
  3. Easy to understand purpose

Large doorway, Clear shop name, and banner use a pop-up to show what’s inside the shop.

Wherever the eyes go, the feet will follow. So use color to catch the eyes of your customers and draw them to your displays.

Shop Inside

Clearly position products for individual

  1. Customer-collecting products: no profit, just good deal for customers
  2. Profit-earning products: other products that add on
  3. For-you products: write in print “For Mr.A when it’s rain.”

You must have a shop freebie signature. Think of Kaldi with free coffee. It keeps people walking in the shop. Therefore, pour a real hot coffee 😉
