Shopfitting and Design Guide for Startup Businesses

​When starting a business, one of the most important things you need to do is to build your identity and build your brand, so customers will have something to remember you.
 
While it’s crucial to have good products and services for success, building your brand is vital if you want to sell these products and services. Having good branding can help you get purchases and help your business build customer loyalty.
 
If you’re planning to establish a business startup or you’re trying to find a new place for your business, you can learn how you can use your new place’s setup to improve your business in terms of marketing, sales, revenue, and profit.
 
Shopfitting
 
Having appropriate shopfitting will help your business use your place not just as a place to do business. It can also be a place that helps you build your brand and attract potential customers.
 
One good example of a business with good shopfitting is Starbucks. When you go to a Starbucks, you’ll know that you’re in one, as each Starbucks branch’s shopfitting is aligned with their branding. It’s not just Starbucks. The best businesses, when you go to their store, you’ll know exactly where you are.
 
While shopfitting has a lot of potential advantages for your business, it’s not easy to do. When taking care of your commercial or retail unit’s fit, you’ll have to take care of everything, both interior and exterior, in detail.
 
You’ll have to look for the right furniture, fixtures, and other appliances that fit how you want your place to look. Furthermore, no matter how you want to design your shop, it’s still crucial to have your shop organized properly and well-lit.
 
The importance of retail design and shopfitting
 
In business, there’s always heavy competition, which is why you need to take advantage of any areas where your company can stand out, such as through retail design and shopfitting.
 
Before buying furniture, you must plan everything first to get the right furniture and other things that can show the identity that you want your customers to know.
 
Getting professional assistance from a good design and shopfitting firm with the appropriate professional knowledge to show off your brand identity through engaging and appealing design can also help.
 
What you need to know before going shopfitting
 
Shopfitting is hard, but it’s also fun and exciting. Being motivated when shopfitting can be nice to help you build a good design, but it can also lead you to rash and bad decisions. Before starting, it’s vital to plan everything first.
 
Choose the material for your furniture, the color palette, and where you want to place everything. Of course, it’s also crucial to have an idea of everything you want to buy to set a proper budget for your shopfitting project.
 
Of course, there’s also the risk of only following what you want and forgetting about your customers and what they like. Here's where a professional team greatly helps because they know shopfitting strategies that tend to influence customers to buy your products or avail of your services and keep customers loyal.

How to choose the right shop layout



​​To plan your shop’s design, one of the most important things you need to do is choose a shop layout that will show all the best things about your business and a shop layout that makes it easy and inviting for your customers to make purchases.

  • Angular - An angular layout shows the corners and curved walls. It means you can complement it with round displays. It's good for smaller stores with a few specialty items.

​If you’re wondering, a grid layout is something that you’ll see at supermarkets and grocery stores.
 
  • Geometric - It’s not as simple as the previous two. A geometric design provides more flair and works well with clothes and retail businesses.
 
  • Diagonal - If you have a big business and a lot of products, a diagonal layout will help ensure your employees can take care of and supervise customers with fewer delays. Furthermore, a diagonal layout is also easy to remember.
 
  • Free-flow - If you want to be unique or want your customers to explore your store on their own, you can use a free-flow design, which means you won’t have any established traffic patterns.
 
How to find the best furniture and fixtures for shopfitting
 
For successful shopfitting, you’ll need furniture and fixtures that meet both your branding goals and shopfitting budget. Here are a few tips to help you pick furniture and fixtures:
 
Know what’s in and the current trends - If there are current trends, one way of making your business more popular is to take advantage and jump on them. Of course, make sure that whatever trend you’ll be jumping into via social media is relevant to your target market.
 
Stick to a theme - Before starting shopfitting, you’ll have to decide on a theme. After this, it’s vital to ensure that every design decision you make, whether it’s for new furniture or fixtures, adheres to this theme.
 
Product exposure - At the end of the day, your products and services are the stars of the show, so make sure that whichever direction you go in terms of shopfitting, you can still expose your product to your market.
