The retail industry is huge. In 2017, retail sales worldwide was over 20 trillion euros. Physical stores continue to capture the majority of retail sales, so retailers spend millions of euros each year designing, building and refurbishing their stores, and major online retailers begin to open physical retail space. This means it is important to understand how the retail environment influences consumers. In this session, you will discuss how the presence of various types of information presented in the retail environment, such as mannequins, fitting rooms, salesforce and other customers, can influence consumer's thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
