The storefront is the first physical touchpoint that customers or potential customers encounter. The quality of visual appeal of the storefront of a department store can strengthen or weaken the interest of customers in deciding whether they should visit (again) or not. This first impression is a predominantly subconscious decision-making process in which utility or purpose may take a backseat. Coming to defining storefront appeal, it is important to first accurately project how the storefront of a department store should look like. This will depend on factors like mass psychology, prevalent notions, and market trends. Later, the elements of branding come into play.

Human nature seeks a break from the mundane. In general, people prefer going to nice places and a department store with a rich appeal qualifies as one. While spending some feel-good time, people also get their shopping done. Visitors with no purchase plan may randomly pick something just for self-gratification. This overall perspective often gets undermined but it plays an important role in the long run for building a customer base.

The quality of department store visual merchandising affects how comfortable customers (also read as shoppers) feel in a department store. Once inside the store, customers must not only feel a sense of delight but they should also be able to enjoy their in-store journey intuitively and purposefully. Experienced department store consultants would agree that the in-store shopping experience eventually boils down to practical aspects like how intuitively customers can explore, if it was easier to find products, if the shelf arrangement and aisle gaps looked meticulous, if the lighting and colour combinations were comfortable, etc. Focusing on these and other visual parameters is necessary to improve customer experience in department stores.
