Shelving is another important consideration in retail design. You should place the best selling products and the products that have the best profit margins at eye level.

Sometimes companies will give you special deals on products if you place them in a certain location. You should also line up your products largest to smallest left to right, when there is more than one size of a product. This is because people naturally look from left to right.

By putting your larger products on the left you are more likely to have customers grab the larger size, which makes you more sales. Vacant space should be reduced as it uses up valuable space in your business 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 also ensure that your shelves are well stocked. If you have plenty of stock on hand you create confidence in the product and create more of a visual impact.

These are some guidelines for a good retail design when you are setting up your shelving. You should place the best selling products and the products that have the best profit margins at eye level.

Some companies may even give you better deals on product buys if you promise them key position on the shelf. Bigger products in the same product line should be placed to the left and the smaller size to the right. This is because people naturally look from left to right.

By placing your bigger items on the left you are more likely to have customers seize the bigger size, which makes you more money. Empty space should be reduced because it wastes valuable space in your business and does not look good.

Your shelves should be placed with just enough space above the products to reach them comfortably, there should not be a lot of empty space between 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.
