Problems With Store Renovations
Sometimes most retailers run into areas of their business which they think will help with their sales and bottom line and that is what I will try to discuss in this article. As managers they run into some issues which they think is slowing down their sales and decreasing the amount of customers coming in. That is outdated stores which have become too old and stale in style which often times turn away customers and cause them to either go to their competition or to shop online.
With that said I am going to discuss this process of renovating stores and the problems that come with it from a customers point of view since I have been looking at the advantages of renovating stores I will give the negatives since there's always two sides to every issue. First problem is the cost and time since most stores have to remain open for customers, this in a sense makes the timing bad when they're in the process of renovating and the money being paid to the contractors which they often get to keep even if they make a mistake with the plans.
Another problem I see with renovating from a customers point of view are the moving of items around in certain places which makes it hard for most customers to find the products they're looking for. For instance customers like myself have never been able to find the products they want in certain isles since most of the stuff get moved a lot when stores do renovations and that's a huge problem for myself and most customers since we are used to getting products in the same places when we go into shop in most stores. They're always moved to different places within the store.
So those are the two problems I see in most stores when they go through some major renovations but I guess they often need to be done since often times most renovating decisions are made by the company themselves since they want to improve the overall shopping experience for customers in order to have them come back into the stores as repeat customers while at the same time attract brand new customers as well. That in itself I would have to say is a win win situation on both sides. Now if there was only a way of finish this work a lot faster then it would be a real advantage but renovations take a lot of time due to the planning that's required.
