Opening A Dollar Store - How Shopper Patterns Can Help Make Sales

By:


Those who are opening a dollar store soon find that shoppers have their preferred ways to do shopping. In fact most shoppers have a definite pattern that they follow after they enter your store. They also have methods that they prefer to use when examining the merchandise that is displayed in your store. By being aware of shopper preferences you are on your way to increased sales.
 
So what pattern should you expect shoppers to follow when entering after you have completed opening a dollar store? Expect the majority to step into the store and then turn to the right as quickly as possible. They will then proceed straight ahead to the wall. Exceptions will be if they are aware of exactly what they came in to buy and where it is located. In that case shoppers will likely make a beeline for that item. Shoppers may also be diverted if items catch their attention. Curiosity can make them move in completely different direction.
 
As you will find soon after opening a dollar store, the majority will proceed to the wall and then begin examining the store aisle by aisle. They will walk all the way to the end of an aisle, and then move over one aisle. The process is repeated time and again until the entire store has been examined aisle by aisle.
 
Having this knowledge allows the entrepreneur who is opening a dollar store to place merchandise wisely throughout the store. Impulse items can be placed where they are most likely to be found by shoppers. High margin items can also be placed where sales are more likely to occur. Finally, the lowest profit margin products such as daily needs can be placed so that other, higher profit margin items will be seen first.
 
Give it a try when opening a dollar store. Used wisely this one tip can increase sales significantly.
 
To Your Dollar Store Success!
