Description
- This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/723,439 filed Dec. 21, 2012. U.S. application Ser. No. 13/723,439 is based on and derives the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/581,424, filed Dec. 29, 2011. The entirety of all of the above-listed Applications are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present technology relates to retail marketing environments, and in particular to a retail store layout that provides a plurality of experience zones to guide a consumer through a purchasing experience.
- Retail marketing environments for articles of merchandise that are particularly valuable, such as small electronics and jewelry, present the articles on display and require a customer to interact with a sales employee in order to actually procure an article that they desire to purchase.
- Such retail marketing environments generally have a plurality of display cases that sit on the floor and include at least one clear front window through which a customer can view the merchandise displayed within the case, creating a counter where a store employee is on one side of the display case and the customer on the opposite side. Such display cases normally have a lockable sliding back panel that can be opened by the employee, who can then reach into the display case to either stock the case or remove merchandise for inspection by a customer.
- The present technology relates to retail marketing environments in which consumers peruse articles of merchandise displayed in display cases and then interact with an employee in order to inspect and/or procure a particular article of merchandise. Retail marketing environments of the present technology include retail stores and store layouts that provide a plurality of experience zones to guide a consumer through a purchasing experience.
- Retail marketing environments of the present technology include a retail store and a layout for the retail store. The retail store includes a front façade including at least one front window and at least one door, a first outer side wall connected to the front façade, and a second outer side wall connected to the front façade. The layout for the retail store includes a first experience zone, a second experience zone, a third experience zone and a fourth experience zone. The first experience zone includes the front façade and at least one window display case displaying merchandise that can be viewed through the front window. The second experience zone includes an interactive display that provides product information. The third experience zone includes at least one merchandise display area and at least one merchandise handling area. The fourth experience zone includes a plurality of interaction areas in which consumers can interact with store employees.
- In some examples, a veil wall can be employed to separate one or more of the experience zones in a retail marketing environment of the present technology. A veil wall can include a plurality of vertical members, each vertical member being spaced apart from each other vertical member a sufficient amount to allow a consumer to see through the veil wall. A veil wall can also include at least one light adjacent to one end of a vertical member, the light being directed to shine onto the vertical member.
- Specific examples have been chosen for purposes of illustration and description, and are shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the specification.

FIG. 9 illustrates one example of a standing display case that can be used in a retail marketing environment of the present technology. - The purchasing experience provided to a customer in a retail environment can have an impact on how the consumer perceives the quality and nature of the brand associated with the articles of merchandise. For example, the layout of a retail store is the environment in which consumers form an impression of the articles of merchandise on display within the retail store. In a retail environment where consumers are encouraged to engage, experiment, learn, and express at whatever level is appropriate for them, the consumer may feel more comfortable during the retail purchasing experience, and may thus feel more positively inclined towards the brand associated with the articles of merchandise.
- Retail marketing environments of the present technology include retail store layouts that provide a plurality of experience zones through which a consumer passes during a retail purchasing experience. Each experience zone has a different purpose, and provides the consumer with a different level of interaction with the store employees and with the articles of merchandise on display for purchase.
