The layout strategy is crucial for improving store revenue and customer satisfaction. Therefore, today I will share some practical layout strategies, so interested players should hurry up and take a look!

① First, overall layout planning is a critical step. Players need to carefully consider and determine the key types of products to display based on the characteristics of the business district where the convenience store is located. For example, if the convenience store is in a residential area, then more emphasis might be placed on the display of daily necessities and food to meet the daily needs of residents; whereas if the convenience store is near an office building, then more attention might be given to ready-to-eat foods and coffee, etc., to cater to the fast-paced lifestyle of office workers. Additionally, designing a reasonable customer walking path is also an indispensable part of layout planning, typically from the entrance to the checkout, passing through various product areas, ensuring that customers can easily browse all products, thereby enhancing the shopping experience and sales efficiency.

② Next, effective shelf and product placement are key to increasing sales. Place high-margin, best-selling, or current promotional items in the "golden spots" near the checkout or entrance to attract customer attention and promote impulse buying. At the same time, place related products together, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, snacks and drinks, etc., which can increase the opportunity for associated sales and improve overall sales. Moreover, it is crucial to reasonably arrange the shelf levels according to product characteristics and customer line of sight. For example, popular products should be placed within the customer's line of sight, while heavier or larger products should be placed on the lower shelves, making it convenient for customers to pick up, while maintaining the neatness and aesthetics of the shelves.

③ In terms of aisle and space utilization, maintain moderate aisle widths to avoid crowding and ensure that customers can easily access the products. Efficiently using the store space to avoid waste is an effective way to improve spatial efficiency. For example, set up promotional displays or showcase stands in corners or idle areas to highlight new or promotional products, attracting customer attention and stimulating the desire to buy.

④ Finally, flexibly adjusting the layout is an important strategy for responding to market changes and seasonal transitions. Adjusting product displays and layouts according to seasonal changes can better meet customer needs. For example, during the summer, increase the display area for cold drinks and ice cream, while in winter, highlight hot drinks and warm-keeping supplies. During promotional events, temporarily adjust the layout to highlight event products and create a shopping atmosphere. Additionally, the checkout should be placed in a prominent location in the store, and be convenient for customers to check out. At the same time, small items or promotional goods can be displayed around the checkout to promote additional sales and increase the value of the customer's shopping basket.

The above are effective strategy guides in the game. So, interested players should hurry up and experience it in the game! Through these strategies, everyone will be able to successfully operate your convenience store in the game and achieve commercial success.
