Today, however, consumers have a wider variety of shopping options than ever before. Resources like e-commerce shopping, mobile apps, and customer review sites now put control over the shopping experience in the hands of the consumer.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAs a result, today&#8217;s retailers need to differentiate themselves&#8212;providing unique customer experiences that convince consumers to take their business through the doors of brick and mortar storefronts. With this in mind, we&#8217;re exploring what consumers expect from the in-store experience and the tips and tricks retailers can use to generate more revenue.<!--more--><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Modern-in-store-experience.jpg\" alt=\"In-store customer experience \" width=\"1333\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Modern-in-store-experience.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Modern-in-store-experience-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Modern-in-store-experience-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Modern-in-store-experience-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of In-Store Shopping<\/h2>\n<p>The customer experience has dramatically changed thanks to the internet. Now, virtually any item a consumer could possibly want is just a few clicks away. While this may sound discouraging, this trend does not mean that all modern shopping has transitioned online. One thing e-commerce cannot replicate is the physical experience consumers get when feeling, seeing and touching products in-person&#8212;a major reason why consumers still prefer brick-and-mortar locations.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn fact, it&#8217;s for this reason that around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.v12data.com\/blog\/50-statistics-about-retail-marketing-and-consumer-shopping-trends\/\">54 percent<\/a> of retailers view consumer experience as their most important priority. When retailers prepare for the expectations of their customers, they help ensure that customers feel more receptive to making a purchase, become return customers, and spread the word about your business. With that said, what does the ideal customer experience look like?<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n[wbcr_snippet id=&#8221;734&#8243;]<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A Customized Shopping Experience<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Customized-shopping.jpg\" alt=\"customer service representative \" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Customized-shopping.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Customized-shopping-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nA big part of going shopping at a brick-and-mortar store is getting a one-on-one experience with sales people who work at the location. Your staff can make a big difference when it comes to nabbing a sale, especially when they help shoppers along the buying process. Knowing how to cater to every shopper&#8217;s want and need is essential to keeping them coming back for more.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Organized, Easily Navigable Storefronts<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Navigable-retail-storefront.jpg\" alt=\"Navigable retail storefront \" width=\"1431\" height=\"951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Navigable-retail-storefront.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Navigable-retail-storefront-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Navigable-retail-storefront-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Navigable-retail-storefront-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1431px) 100vw, 1431px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nOne of the biggest perks of shopping online is that everything a consumer wants can be easily found. With this in mind consumers visiting a retail store expect to be able to do the same thing while in-store. As a result, good customer experience means your store is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/06\/retail-shopping-isnt-dead-a-guide-to-retail-success\/\">easy to navigate<\/a> as customers browse your inventory.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nGoods should be easily visible, aisles should let customers know where to look, and product displays should highlight the most popular products first. With this in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/retail-displays-and-fixtures\/counter-top-displays\/acrylic-displays.html\">acrylic displays<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/signage.html\"> signage<\/a> can point people in the right direction as they shop, making it easier for them to find what they&#8217;re looking for as soon as they walk in the door. This reduces frustration for shoppers and gives them reason to come back again in the future.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAdditionally, retail displays and fixtures can be used to provide eye catching entertaining, and well organized collections of your best sellers. For an in-depth guide on choosing the best retail displays for your business, check out our recent article on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/29\/visual-merchandising-creating-pop-displays-drive-sales\/\">create POP displays to drive sales.&nbsp;<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Price Matching the Competition<\/h2>\n<p>Another reason why customers turn to the internet for their shopping is because of the deals. They know they can potentially save money on a product if they can easily find a deal online. That being said, this doesn&#8217;t have to be a deterrent for shoppers who visit brick-and-mortar locations.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nConsider price matching products according to the inventory that is found online, and you&#8217;ll be more likely to drive consumers through your doors based on price and savings. However, price points alone don&#8217;t necessarily correlate to better or worse traffic. According to one study, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmo.com\/features\/articles\/2018\/4\/19\/new-study-finds-consumers-would-pay-more-for-better-cx-pwc.html#gs.VlhUFxU\">42 percent<\/a> of consumers were okay paying more if it meant they&#8217;d have a pleasant and friendly customer experience. In other words, the better your customer experience, the less you&#8217;ll have to settle on competitive pricing.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>While there a number of different reasons why customers may shop online, there are also several reasons why they can benefit from shopping in-store as well. By taking some of these modern shopping experience tips into account, retailers can ensure that they aren&#8217;t missing out on potential sales and losing out to the online shopping crowd.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nLooking to boost your customer experience with eye-catching displays and signage or strategic store planning? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoppopdisplays.com\/CTUS.html\">Contact our team<\/a>&nbsp;to learn how we can help!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The customer experience has come a long way, thanks to technology and the wide array of resources retailers now have at their fingertips.
