Visual Cues That Show Your Customers You Care

Post on Jul 4th 2008

What is your least favorite part of shopping? Mine is looking for something in a store that I know they carry, but can't find. Let's examine some ways that you can make it easier for your customer to get in to buy.

Are there any barriers that keep your customers from returning to your store?

Customers come to your store to fulfill a need, whether to get groceries or satisfy their shopping appetite. What can you do to help them accomplish this? In this article we are going to concentrate on two ways you can improve the ease that they are fulfilled.

Think of the information that we provide to our customers and the way it is presented. In one way, we have to provide relevant information that assists them in their decision making process. We'll call these guide posts. If you have a value driven grocery store, do you have the cost per ounce broken down so that customers can compare prices between competing brands? Cost conscious shoppers like to compare prices. Alternatively, this may not be appropriate in a health food store where customers are less conscious of price and care more about the ingredients. Why not designate signs that you can post on shelves? "Gluten-Free!" or "Vegan!" If we can create a system that makes it easier for our customers to recognize what they want while shopping, then we have improved their shopping experience. Regardless of the way you market your store, using visual cues are a great way to passively show your customers that you care.

Do you have a store in a community that is filled with senior citizens? Do you have larger font prices on all of your items to make it easier to read? If you keep your customers in mind as you present your store, they will understand that you care about them. How you communicate to your customers is just as important as what you communicate to them.

Visual Cues

- Use signs that make the store layout obvious.

- Have at least one checkout counter that is identifiable as you enter the store.

- Use pricing and product information that is relevant to your customer.

- Create a visual identification system with your customer in mind.
