Artistic Selling

Retailers apply art concepts to enhance customer experience

Implications - More businesses are incorporating artful accents to their shops, realizing that customers are more likely to enter (and stay in) a store with artistic retail displays than one with basic white walls and grid-like shelves. Everything from oversized art installations to crafty storefronts are giving retailers attention-grabbing elements that are simply too eye-catching for a customer to ignore.
Trend Themes
1. Artistic Retail Displays - Businesses are incorporating eye-catching art elements into their stores to enhance customer experience.
2. Interactive Installations - Oversized and unconventional designer installations are used to create interactive and unforgettable experiences for shoppers.
3. Conceptual Retail Spaces - Retail spaces are being transformed into imaginative settings, such as assembly line shops, corrugated displays, and abstract art displays.
Industry Implications
1. Retail - Retailers can incorporate artful accents and interactive installations to enhance customer experience and draw attention to their brand.
2. Design - Design firms can help retailers create imaginative and conceptual retail spaces to attract customers.
3. Marketing - Marketers can use the power of unconventional installations and displays to promote a brand and attract attention.
