For my Atmospheric on Site assignment I chose the store Scheels. I chose Scheels because this is where I’ve almost always gone for any sporting good needs, as well as most of my apparel needs. When entering the store, I receive a very welcoming hello from the clerks, as well as a few eye-catching displays of animals up on the walls. After walking to my first section, the baseball section, which at the time was pretty small, being out of season. I could immediately smell leather a vague sent of leather. As I had mentioned, the selection was quite small but they still had a small variety of options. They had all their bats in one sections, both girls and guys. They were separated according, from youth bats, all the way up to wood bats. As I …show more content…
This then brings bake the idea that they have plenty of “experts” in each section for advice you on all their products and make sure you are getting the right product. Next, I went over the hunting and fishing section, knowing that was in season, it should be interesting. This section had plenty of experts helping the vast number of customers coming in. They had great displays, from mounted fish and deer to bears. With myself not being a big hunter, this still gave a great deal of excitement when entering their hunting and fishing section. I asked the manager, how it works with expanding “in season products”. He said, yes of course they expand to fit each season, but they also try their best to not take anything off the floor. He was explaining why they spend money to put these displays and animals along with different pictures and displays in each section. They want to create a “specialty shop” vibe. The feeling that when you walk into a different section that section is almost as if it’s a different store itself. They put different style manikins and displays in every section to make it feel as if that customer was walking into a boutique. One thing he said he really liked that they no longer do, was different music in every section. They had to change this and go with a store wide playlist. However, it still does fit each section accordingly, and that would explain what I was hearing around the store, going from section to section. I headed over towards the shoes
When the Tatelman brothers took over the business, they changed their mode of advertising. They realized that by limiting their advertising to newspapers, they were potentially missing out on a whole demographic of people that needed furniture, which would be 18-34 year olds. This demographic was starting to move out on their own, starting families, and needed furniture. By moving from newspapers to funny radio ads and later funny TV ads, Barry and Eliot were able to draw in more customers, especially the demographic they were targeting (Iacobucci, 2013). Before they started to add in the extra shopping experiences, they had customers waiting to get into their third store. Once they added the entertainment portions of the store, they were able to draw in more customers. Even if the customer is only there to take part in the entertainment aspect of the store, which is in the back of every store, they do have to walk through the showroom first. By walking through the showroom a first time customer could see a room design or one piece of furniture that catches their eye. Each customer has a different shopping experience, whether it be at one store or multiple Jordan’s Furniture

Looking at the summer sun and rainfall which has resemblance to the way Nordstrom deals with its customers since beginning of a century when it all started off. If you want a store that made an impact on you it is Nordstrom you revert to as a solution to your problems.

Decisions of flooring, interior color palettes, scents and sounds, store fixtures, aisle widths, light fixtures, overall cleanliness of the store, price displays, and dressing facilities all help to create a mood within customers and to add to the atmosphere of the store. A store needs to know what mood it is trying to convey when all of these elements come together.
One material that needs to be considered is alloy. Most of asa players will prefer alloy bats since they have an enormous feel of sound. However, when picking it we need to note that it possesses a significant amount of stiffness at contact and it doesn’t have a shelf life and may dent after sometime.
With all the store openings, we had strict instructions from each shopping centre as when to open, not causing any disruption to the centre or any other store. Implementing all of the staff and making sure each of them was adequately trained to the Guess standard allowing them to be part of the openings was key to keeping each party involved satisfied.
Michael’s overall layout and design encourage customers to purchase their products. As you walk into the store, the customer is given some space in order to slow down their walking pace. The cash registers are located to the left, while cheap impulse products are located to the right of the entrance. After customers passed those items, they tended to slow down about a quarter of the way into the store. It was apparent that Michael’s was aware of this trend, because they placed their big ticket merchandise products in the middle of the store. These items were visible to customers as they entered the store, and customers often stopped to examine them. After the big ticket merchandise, customers walked in different directions. Customers
This year’s goal is to make higher sales volume by keeping sales prices lower than competitors. All items cost lower than $80, so customers can afford to buy something at Annapolis Outfitters. Unique items will be new every day so this will encourage customers to buy the store’s items. Our staff will ask customers what they are looking so they would “bring it” in the store which will increase the connection with the customers. Hopefully, those strategies will help distinguish Annapolis Outfitters from its main competitors and will be the efficiency and profit generating policy of the

When I awoke, I was at the stadium, I walked into the clubhouse and another boy was was in the room getting stuff ready for the game. When he saw me, he asked, ‘“Are you the new batboy?” I said yes. He said get to work because the players would be coming in an hour. He told me to put everyone’s jersey, shoes and hat in their locker, so I grabbed each player’s gear and put it in their locker. When I was done, a few players walked in and said hi and thanked me for putting their stuff away. Bryce, the other bat boy, then told me to grab all of the bats

The known challenge for creating strategy for larger stores with a mixed variety is the manner in which they can meet the needs of several segments within the same physical facilities.
USE was expanded to include field consultants and market managers and today it gives franchisees, store managers and employees a chance to see and taste new products for upcoming seasons that are intended to address the changing preferences of customers. The merchandising plan for seasonal and high-potential new products is also shared. The centerpiece of the USE is the virtual 7-Eleven store, actual size 7-Eleven floor plans are built to show how seasonal products are assimilated into the standard store mix (7-Eleven About Us, 2010). For future reference, this capability should be the tool whereby the adjustments necessary to accommodate a drive thru capability are visualized and ultimately realized.
Our goal is to provide our target market with a unique, relaxed, and enjoyable shopping experience, while at the same time
