Most small businesses cannot compete with big box stores and online retailers when it comes to offering the lowest prices, nor should they try! People still love to shop, and it’s a much better idea to find creative ways to add value to your products and services; if you can successfully create a comfortable and inviting shopping experience, your customers will seek you out, stay longer, and spend more!

Professional lighting design is an important part of any successful brick-and-mortar retail operation, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to ensure that your renovations are completed on time and within budget! Here are a few tips for quality lighting design, and we’re just a mouse click or phone call away when you’d like to schedule a consultation!

Welcome your guests with plenty of light! A well-lit parking lot is great for physical security and also makes your store easier to locate. This is also an excellent time to upgrade your storefront signage, which serves as an around-the-clock advertisement!

Create ambiance on the sales floor. One way to differentiate your business from big-box retailers is to avoid harsh overhead lighting. Recessed lighting and track lighting enable you to light your store in layers and make your customers feel more at home!

Highlight your most profitable merchandise and services. Lighted endcaps and displays are an excellent way to showcase your most popular products, and they should be constantly updated so that your most loyal customers have a new experience each time they visit your store. One mistake many retailers make is creating intriguing displays that draw customers to the rear of the store without creating equally intriguing displays that they’ll see as they’re headed to the cash registers. And if your store sells services instead of products, a physical display is an excellent way to show your prospective customers a few of the key benefits they’ll enjoy once they begin taking advantage of your services!
