  • A Teaching Innovation on Retail Environmental Design for Consumers with Disabilities
    A Teaching Innovation on Retail Environmental Design for Consumers with Disabilities Meng-Hsien (Jenny) Lin, William J. Jones, and Akshaya Vijayalakshmi Purpose of Study: A teaching innovation that bridges the gap identified in current retailing textbooks, which pay minimal attention to serving consumers with disabilities in the marketplace, is proposed and assessed. This retail class project considers not only the legal and profit benefits for the firm, but also the inclusion and sense of normalcy for a consumer from a societal marketing perspective. Method/Design and Sample: Forty-one students working on the retail project were invited to participate in a pre- and post- test survey that investigates 1) their knowledge of disability regulations and accommodations required of retail outlets and 2) the usefulness of the project in advancing their careers and academic learning. In addition to the use of a “cognitive walkthrough” method of data collection for the class project, students were introduced to the concepts and model of servicescape and consumer normalcy in preparation for the project. Results: Results indicated that learning objectives were met and student expectations were achieved through the implementation of the retail project. Value to Marketing Educators: The implications of considering consumers with disabilities in retail environmental design includes: the physical needs of adapting to consumers with disabilities and the psychological need of consumers wanting to be included and perceived as “normal.” The innovation extends students’ learning about consumers with disabilities while reinforcing traditional retail concepts, such as store layout, visual merchandising, consumer behavior, and the notion of a servicescape. The project is adaptable to various marketing courses.

Kennedy 6 – Parma - 43125, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 14, 2019 Accepted: June 20, 2019 Online Published: August 5, 2019 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v14n9p123 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v14n9p123 Abstract About thirty-five years ago the trend of investing in flagship stores in the fashion and luxury sectors started, and has not stopped even since the last economic crisis. Recently, flagship stores have expanded into new sectors. There is an increased interest in flagship stores; but until now, they have received little attention in academic research. Published papers are mainly related to the fields of luxury shopping and internationalization studies. Nowadays, the term “flagship store” is ambiguous; it has different meanings. A flagship brand store is, in general terms, the most important, expensive, and representative store of the brand. It has to show the full range of products and services offered. Usually it is the largest store, in the most prestigious location, and adopts original store design solutions; they offer new facilities, and a very high service level. Moreover, flagship designers are famous and prestigious architects; (“Signature” architects, or “Archistars”) and the aim is to create iconic buildings.

  • Visual Merchandising Displays' Effect on Consumers
    International Business & Economics Research Journal – October 2013 Volume 12, Number 10 Visual Merchandising Displays’ Effect On Consumers: A Valuable Asset Or An Unnecessary Burden For Apparel Retailers Yolandé Hefer, University of South Africa, South Africa Michael. C. Cant, University of South Africa, South Africa ABSTRACT Several consumers think they only purchase products when they go shopping, however time and time again they purchase the experience of shopping as well. The experience of shopping is highly influenced by the visual merchandising displays (also known as feature areas where merchandise is presented) used in store. Much has been said about visual merchandising displays and the effect it has on consumer behaviour. The way products are displayed and promoted in apparel retail stores can have a vast impact on consumer responses and how much merchandise the retailer sells. The main research question explored the effect visual merchandising displays have on consumer behaviour. Explorative research was deemed to be the most appropriate for this study and qualitative data was collected. Focus groups were used to collect the first round of data, where after naïve sketches were used to support the findings. The focus groups and naïve sketches were analysed by means of thematic analysis. The findings indicated that the visual merchandising displays guide consumers in the direction of the products they are seeking and that it also guides their decisions. The participants agreed that their buying behaviour is influenced on a subconscious level, based on the eminence of the visual merchandising displays, as well as their personal preferences and gender. Keywords: Visual Merchandising Displays; Retail Industry; Apparel Retailers; Consumer Behaviour; Subliminal Influence; Gender INTRODUCTION question that apparel retailers often ask is whether the visual merchandising displays used in stores are beneficial for their customers.

  • Slow Fashion + Retail Design: Designing Experiences to Influence Sustainable Consumers Behaviors
    Slow Fashion + Retail Design: Designing experiences to influence sustainable consumers behaviors Rebekah L. Matheny The Ohio State University, USA [email protected] Abstract Driven by increased demands for ethical responsibility towards environmental and social sustainability by Millennials and GenZ, the design and purpose of apparel retail stores is transforming. These generations demand authentic and transparent retail storytelling to create a connection between their beliefs and the value they place on the products they purchase. Kate Fletcher, who introduced the concept of slow fashion, states: “Sustainable fashion is about a strong and nurturing relationship between consumer and producer” (Fletcher, 2008/2014). The retail store environment is a critical link in establishing this relationship. However, many slow fashion retailers lack elements within their store design to foster this relationship, missing an opportunity to communicate their sustainable story through the physical space where consumers experience fashion. Therefore, we must broaden slow fashion’s reach, extending into the design of the physical retail environment, and establishing slow retail experiences. Utilizing Fletcher and Grose’s principles of transforming slow fashion, this paper presents four slow fashion retail case studies, examining the spatial elements necessary to foster stronger relationships between consumer and producer. The case studies examine how retail store designs successfully apply design elements through physical, human, and digital touchpoints to use the store as an educator on sustainable apparel practices. Serving as guiding examples, these case studies illustrate how other sustainable fashion retailers can leverage storytelling elements within their own retail environments. Retailers and designers can use the examples presented to better connect, communicate, and educate their customers on their brand's core sustainable values to encourage changing behaviors.
