Paco’s Tips: Know Your Customers’ Orbit

Knowing which way your customers move around your store allow you to accurately determine how to arrange your layout for maximum impact on your bottom line.

Once inside a store, shoppers have a tendency to drift to the right — as much as 80 percent of the time, according to studies by Paco Underhill’s company, Envirosell. And they will generally continue to move through the store counterclockwise.

Knowing this allows you to analyze your customers and determine how to arrange your layout. If most of your customers are women, don’t put men’s accessories to the right of your door, says Underhill. If you have lots of repeat customers, put your newest merchandise to their right. That will capture their attention and slow down their circuit.

Get more actionable advice from the world’s leading retail environment expert at The SMART Show. Paco Underhill’s must-see keynote session takes place on Saturday, April 18, at 8:30 a.m., and is sponsored by Synchrony Financial.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
