There are some wonderful points which don’t just apply to retail stores. Other service industries can benefit by following the same advice. Two words – Be Consistent.

I love this line: Don’t complain about customers; get to work.

There’s never been truer words.

This is great advice. We have definitely seen how moving things around makes them seem “new” again. Its amazing the way people see things differently depending on their context.

We are relatively new to retail, but have had a lot of fun with our branding. We have an illustrated elephant (”Eli”) who gets to say all sorts of fun things (on tags, one our website, advertising etc). And a diamond motif that keeps things clean and fun. We were also lucky to have a friend who is a color genius to help us pick colors for paint and our identity– that’s been huge, we haven’t had to second guess the colors- and all the pieces are ready to go when we need an ad or new tag.
