These are some guidelines for a good retail design when you are setting up your shelving. It is recommended to put your best selling and most costly items at eye level.

Sometimes companies will give you special deals on products if you place them in a certain location. You should also line up your products largest to smallest left to right, when there is more than one size of a product. The reasoning behind this is that people read left to right and look naturally to their left first.

By putting your bigger items on the left you are more likely to have patrons seize the bigger size, which makes you more money. Empty space should be reduced as it wastes valuable space in your business and does not look good.

The space between your shelves should be just big enough to comfortably allow people to remove the products. You should always ensure that your shelves are well stocked as this creates an impression of abundance and you will also lose sales if your shelves are empty.
