What is an efficient design?
Design is efficient when it provides an engaging experience. Every brand must convey and showcase its identity at its points of sale, and design is one of the ways in which retailers can offer consumers added value. Who doesn’t enjoy wandering around IKEA and dreaming about living in impeccably furnished and decorated homes? Efficient design is also relevant for merchandising, as consumers must be able to navigate retail spaces with ease. The design of your store needs to be thought out to ensure that every customer who walks through the door has a unique engaging experience.
