These are some guidelines for a good retail design when you are setting up your shelving. You should place your best selling items and higher cost items at eye level, which is a hot spot.
For some of the products, you will receive special incentives from the product companies when you placed their products in certain shelves. 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 seize the larger size, which makes you more profits. Empty space should be minimized as 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.
