When you look at the global retail brands out there, you could be forgiven for thinking that their route to success was an easy one. The truth is that making a go of a retail store is a very difficult thing to do - evidenced by the amount that try and fail. However, it’s not all doom and gloom, as those that prepare properly don’t fall away at anywhere near the same rate.
While we can’t give you a detailed rundown of how to be the next retail success story in a short blog like this one, we can give you an overview of a few of the fundamentals. So, come with us now as we look at the aspects you need to consider to set your franchise apart from the competition.
One of the most crucial factors in any brick-and-mortar retail store is its location, as you’re much likely to get more business when it’s a good one with lots of passing trade. While external or online marketing can help to drive people your way, the geographical location of your store should be front and centre of your thinking, as much rests on it.
Once you’ve managed to entice customers to come to your store, your in-store marketing can drive home why they were wise to visit you. According to studies, it takes just 7 seconds for a customer to make up their mind about you after walking in and during this time, it’s possible to make a lasting impression, whether it’s good or bad.
If you place lots of focus on not only having a great-looking retail store but also one with great in-store marketing to include attractive visual displays of offers and promotions, you’re much more likely to experience increased sales.
With many people choosing to shop online these days, bricks and mortar retail operators have to work harder to give them reasons to choose a traditional shopping experience. One factor many cite is the increased levels of customer service you get when compared to internet shopping, so you need to ensure that the service you provide is exemplary to create the emotional bond that will make them keep coming back.
These are just three of the many factors that will determine the retail success you have and the great news is that you can gain a much deeper understanding of what’s required with a flexible and affordable online course with OCA. Our Franchise Courses is a perfect choice for anyone looking to become a retail business owner and it can be taken at your own pace and even be paid for in easy-to-manage instalments.
