Are not a mini version of larger stores.
To work, they need to be totally new retail
experiences.
They are a unique opportunity to control
your brand and craft a totally compelling
and consistent brand experience.
104. Healthy Environments
Your store environments are the best place
to get credit for you environmental efforts.
Money is a finite resource that needs to be
carefully managed.
We need to move away from the industrial
age thinking and toward a sustainable age
business model.
105. Female Retail
Women are not a market segment, they are
the market.
Human behavior is easier to work with
rather than manipulate.
Designing for women can create retail
environments that make meaningful
connections.
