Pathway To Tranquility: Guiding the Guest Through the Spa Retail Space

January 4, 2024

An often overlooked aspect of a harmonious guest experience is the design of the spa’s retail area, where a deliberate traffic flow pattern can ensure guests are exposed to a diverse range of purchase options while every step leads them further into the spa’s brand story.

Creating an Inviting Entrance

The journey begins at the entrance to the retail space, where a welcoming and unobtrusive display draws guests into the retail space. A well-designed entrance not only sets the tone for the shopping experience, but also serves as a natural starting point for the traffic flow. Placing eye-catching and seasonal items near the entrance can pique interest, enticing guests to explore further.

Guiding the Flow

The layout should encourage a circular or serpentine path, allowing guests to navigate seamlessly through the retail area. Placing focal points strategically along this path ensures high-end items receive the attention they deserve. Consider incorporating feature displays, highlighting premium products and utilizing effective signage to guide guests through different sections.

Pedicure
