With the rise and convenience of online shopping, consumers are less likely to go out and buy products from stores. As a business owner, this may cause you to worry. Luckily, there are easy ways to attract customers to your business just by giving your business’s curb appeal some attention.
The first thing people see is the exterior of your business. With great curb appeal, customers will be more likely to come into your store and bring you more business. Here are some ways to make your storefront look more inviting to customers.
Window Displays
Chances are high that your storefront and business have a large window at the front. This is a great opportunity to create beautiful and captivating window displays. It does require some creativity and artistic skills, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Change your display with the holidays and seasons to keep customers always wondering what to expect the next time they walk by.
Use the products you sell in your store or items that represent your business in your display. It’s important to note that the display is an extension of your business, so it should stay true to your values and image.
Entrance Sign
Believe it or not, subdivision entrance signs can greatly influence an individual’s decision to enter your neighborhood –– and by extension –– your business. With a well-done entrance sign, you will draw in customers off the street. Having a noticeable sign outside of your business is effective because people will remember your name or logo when they pass by.
There are many options for subdivision entrance signs to choose from depending on your location and business. From monument signs to plaque entrance signs, you can decide which sign is appropriate to represent your business.
Keep It Clean
It may seem like an obvious way to attract customers, but not every business maintains the exterior of their store. Routinely clean the outside of your storefront by picking up any trash that may be present, fixing sidewalks or steps, and restoring any chipped paint. Customers are less likely to stop in to your business if they don’t feel it is maintained properly.
If you happen to have a green thumb, consider adding some shrubbery or flowers to the exterior of your business. With bright colors and vibrant greenery, people will feel more attracted to your business.
Display Sales and Promotions
There is nothing more inviting than the promise to save some money. Whenever your business is offering a promotion or having a sale, make sure to announce it to everyone who passes by. However, make sure to find a balance between announcing your promotions and screaming them. If your display is too overwhelming, it may turn customers away.
Watch Sales Increase
People enjoy aesthetically pleasing places. Whether it may be a park, café, or business, people are more drawn to places that look clean and have put effort into how they look. With window displays, memorable subdivision entrance signs, a clean entrance, and tasteful promotion announcements, your business can easily attract new customers.
