Date: 10/16/2024
Time: 12:00 PM EST
Speaker (s): Mario Maichel, Alicia Stephens and Shawna Mesher
Course description
You pay for every square foot of your showroom and you expect a return on that investment. But have you ever thought about the EXPERIENCE per square foot? Showroom layout affects how shoppers engage with your products. It influences what they notice, what you sell, what you add on. It may even mean leaving some space open so shoppers can stand back and appreciate everything else. Join PHTA for a panel discussion with showroom and square foot ROI subject matter experts from LOU, Watkins Manufacturing, and Biolab.
Learning objectives:
- Discuss how to calculate revenue per square foot, frequency of review, and how to assess the viability of a new retail store investment.
- Discuss how to use the ALEX machine to promote suggestive selling and automated emails to encourage customers to return to the store and make purchases.
- Determine if your retail space matches the quality and caliber of products you sell and service.
