These are some guidelines for a good retail design when you are setting up your shelving. You should place your best selling items and higher cost items at eye level, which is a hot spot.
Sometimes companies will give you special deals on products if you place them in a certain location. When there are different sizes of the same product, they should be lined up biggest to smallest left to right. This is due to the fact that people’s eyes naturally go to the left first since we read left to right.
By putting your larger items on the left you are more possible to have patrons seize the larger size, which makes you more sales. Empty space should be reduced because it uses up precious space in your store and does not look good.
The space between shelves should just be a little more than is required for hands to take the product of the shelves. You should always ensure that your shelves are well stocked as this creates an impression of abundance and you will also lose sales if your shelves are empty.
