With growing competition between online and shop-based sales, it is increasingly important that physical stores maintain their appeal. A shop should not only be a place that a customer needs to go but also a place that they want to visit. One of the major benefits a store has over a website is that it is able to showcase items to customers that may have otherwise not been considered. While enjoying the atmosphere and design of a shop, people are likely to associate positivity with a brand or pick up an unexpected item.
