Getting the footfall right in retail

The bottom line in any business is profit and retail is certainly no exception to this rule. In order to make sales you need to first attract people into your shop and then get them to stay long enough to look around and make that all important purchase. The number of people coming into the shop is known as the footfall and, like many other businesses, it is all about the numbers. The more people who come into the shop then generally the more you will sell. This is always provided that you are selling what the customers want to buy of course.

If you dress your window well then people on the street will look at it and then, depending where they are in the buying cycle, they will walk through the door. There are three types of people looking at your window: cold – they are not and never will be in the market for what you sell, warm – they may be at some point in the future and finally hot - they want what you are offering now. Yet even the hottest customer can go cold. If they walk through the door and your shop doesn’t look the part then they will leave without even looking around. Therefore, it is essential to get your shop fittings right as well as your stock.
