Before any work begins, take time to define the goals for your shop fitting project. What do you want to achieve with the space? Is it designed to enhance customer flow, promote a specific product range, or create an immersive brand experience? Identifying your priorities ensures the design and layout align with your business objectives.

Budgeting is equally crucial. Without a clear financial plan, costs can quickly spiral out of control. Be sure to account for everything from materials and labor to permits and unexpected expenses. Working with a company like BAPTT Group ensures transparency and expert advice on how to allocate resources efficiently, delivering exceptional results without overspending.
The success of your shop depends on its appeal to your target audience. Consider their preferences, habits, and expectations when designing your space. For example, a luxury boutique should focus on creating an upscale, exclusive atmosphere, while a family-friendly store might prioritize vibrant colors, spacious aisles, and interactive displays.
At BAPTT Group, we help our clients incorporate elements that resonate with their audience, such as tailored color schemes, textures, and lighting. By aligning your shops design with your customers preferences, you can create an environment that attracts and retains visitors.
A solid design plan is essential for avoiding costly errors and ensuring a smooth process. Start with a 2D layout to map out the placement of key features like shelves, displays, cash registers, and storage areas. These plans allow you to anticipate construction challenges, optimize space, and fine-tune the flow of visitors to maximize their exposure to high-margin products.
For larger budgets, a 3D virtual walk-through is a worthwhile investment. This immersive tool lets you experience the shop from a customers perspective, providing invaluable insights into how the space will look and function. Adjustments can be made in real-time, saving time and money during construction.
At BAPTT Group, we provide professional 2D and 3D planning services to ensure that your space is not only visually appealing but also functional and aligned with your business goals.
Every square meter in your shop has the potential to generate revenue. Efficient space utilization ensures that no area is wasted while maintaining a comfortable shopping experience. Think vertically with tall shelving or use modular displays to adapt the layout as needed.
Consider the flow of your spacecustomers should be able to navigate easily without feeling overcrowded. Strategic zoning can help you highlight specific product categories or seasonal items. Our team at BAPTT Group specializes in creating layouts that balance practicality with style, helping you make the most of your retail footprint.
Lighting plays a critical role in setting the tone of your shop and highlighting products. A well-lit store feels inviting and professional, while poor lighting can deter customers. Incorporate a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a dynamic environment.
For example, ambient lighting provides overall illumination, while task lighting focuses on specific areas like checkout counters or dressing rooms. Accent lighting can draw attention to key products or displays. BAPTT Group offers expert advice on integrating lighting systems that complement your design and enhance the customer experience.
Your shops interior should be a natural extension of your brand identity. From the choice of colors and materials to the layout and décor, every detail should reflect your business values and style. Consistency across all elements reinforces your brand image and creates a memorable experience for customers.
At BAPTT Group, we work closely with clients to incorporate branding into every aspect of the design. Whether its custom signage, unique architectural features, or branded color schemes, we ensure your shop communicates your message effectively.
Durable and aesthetically pleasing materials are key to a successful shop fitting. Investing in high-quality materials may have a higher upfront cost but pays off in the long run by reducing maintenance and replacement expenses.
Consider the specific needs of your business when selecting materials. For example, a high-end fashion store might favor sleek glass and polished metal, while a rustic café might opt for warm wood tones. BAPTT Group sources top-quality materials tailored to your vision, ensuring your shop stands the test of time.
An accessible shop is not only inclusive but also legally required in many regions. Ensure your space accommodates customers with disabilities by incorporating features like ramps, wide aisles, and accessible checkout counters.
Safety is equally important. Adhering to health and safety regulations protects both your customers and your business. From fire exits to slip-resistant flooring, every detail matters. At BAPTT Group, we design with accessibility and safety in mind, helping you create a welcoming and compliant environment.
Technology has become a vital part of the retail experience. Consider integrating digital displays, interactive kiosks, or smart lighting systems to enhance customer engagement. These tools not only make your shop more modern but also provide valuable opportunities for promotions and upselling.
At BAPTT Group, we stay ahead of trends to help you incorporate the latest technologies into your shop fitting. Whether its creating digital signage or installing energy-efficient systems, we ensure your shop is future-ready.
The retail landscape is constantly evolving, and your shop should be able to adapt. Flexible designs, such as movable shelving or modular displays, allow you to reconfigure the layout as trends change or your inventory grows.
Planning for flexibility also means anticipating future needs, such as additional storage or new product categories. Our modular shopfitting solutions at BAPTT Group are designed to evolve with your business, giving you the freedom to adapt without major disruptions.

Youve done so much getting to this point- you developed a great product and are ready to get it into the hands of your consumers! But there is still a bit more planning, preparation, and decisions to make. As you think about going into a brick and mortar, an in-line store, a kiosk, or even a smaller footprint- let this guide provide you with some insight on how to best display your product.
1. Location, Location, Location!
The saying you hear in real estate all the time, but that is equally as important in retail. Which shopping center will be the best fit for you- with foot traffic and your target audience? Which locations are available within that center? What size are those locations? Does one location have a bigger footprint but lacks in a prominent location? Do some initial research by picking out a few options and grabbing a delicious mall pretzel and camping out for a little bit at different times of the day. Remember that different shopping centers have different requirements so make sure you get that information before you make your final decision.
2. Size Matters
Bigger isnt always better. Really think about your product within each available space. If your product is large, you might have to go a bit bigger in order to have an aesthetically pleasing display. But if your product is small then it will be swallowed up in a large space. How many types of products will you carry, how much stock will you consistently have, and how often will you be able to replenish? Make sure you analyze each of these aspects before you sign up for the biggest or you might not get the best.
3. Branding is Bold
Your product sells itself- which is great! But you cant overlook the importance of your brand and brand recognition. When someone asks a friend where they got that great bag you want them to say your company, not this store in the mall. There are so many companies and individuals out there who can help with everything - logo design, tag lines, price tags, website design, and your social media presence. Even if that aspect of the business isnt your cup of tea, make sure you engage with someone who is passionate about it.

4. Approach 30-15-5
Once you have settled on your location, approach it from every angle a consumer would. The goal is to make an impression at different distances - 30, 15, 5, and 1 for each approach. Utilize your product, your branding, and graphics to grab the consumers attention as they approach so they come straight to you. Make sure you check with your center's requirements to make sure you are meeting their criteria while still creating an eye-catching display.
5. Organize & Earn
They say, For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned. Truer words may have never been spoken, especially in retail. Except in retail, its not just an hour that is earned- it's dollars. While you are working on your merchandising layout- figure out which like items need to be displayed together gold vs silver, purses vs wallets, colors, styles, sizes, etc. Not only will this help with your add-on sales but it will also help visually and with your inventory and restocking.
6. Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Sales
Most retailers have no problem merchandising from front to back, but what is more important is top to bottom. To start- remember that top to bottom is really from around your knees to your head. Visually you can go higher (if possible) but for merchandise, you will want to keep everything at a reachable distance- without requiring your customers to crawl on the floor to see your product. Build your display up with various tools and tricks- from simple table risers to stacking cubes of various heights, to customized display accessories for specific products. This will this allow you to get more product out and will also help your product be seen.
7. Dancing Eyes
Happy eyes are dancing eyes. Believe it or not, there is science behind how our eyes move. Which is really quite interesting to get into, but for now just remember varying heights and odd numbers. Brains process visual groups in odd numbers better than even, so that is a simple rule of thumb to use as you develop your product layout. Use varying heights and visual triangles to grab shoppers attention. If allowed, its a great idea to have actual movement- possibly a monitor with a loop of products offered or information about the development and features of products.
8. Pricing
Its so easy to glance past the individual pricing of your items, but it is such an important detail. While some people have no problem engaging a person to ask a question, others prefer to shop solo. So having clear and upfront pricing is the final culmination of several of these points. It is an extension of your branding- and sometimes the only branding your customer will take home, so while the price tag obviously needs the price it is also helpful to have your brand or website on it. When we discuss the approach, this is the 1 zone your price tag. Customers have now seen your brand from far away, closer, and now right in their hands. It is the full circle of their experience and when prices are clear it can help get to close the sale without any confusion or hesitation.
9. Change is good
Youve created the most beautiful, colorful, and engaging display now what? Prepare for change. Youll get new products in and phase products out. As the seasons and holidays change- so will your display. Maybe a new location is available or youre doing so well you need to go bigger. Never fear, change is a good thing- especially in retail. So take the change in stride and keep these points in mind so each display you create will be better than the next.
10. Help is here
