The Study of Fashion Retail Design in the Context of Consumer Wellbeing

Abstract

For many years, individuals have been to certain spaces for purchasing their needs such as clothes, food, cosmetics, and medications and so on. These retail spaces which started with bazaars, khans, covered bazaars and shops have been replaced by consumption spaces using the latest possibilities of the global world. In recent years, there have been a lot of creative and architectural ideas regarding retail space design for increasing sales. Visual equipment, reusable materials, in-store scent, creative display units, are among the many new types of innovations that are being studied. Brands that understand that retail spaces cannot succeed only with product or price orientation are starting to create places where their customers will feel good and shop in a pleasant atmosphere. In order to create these opportunities, it is necessary to first understand the connection of consumer wellbeing with the in-store atmosphere. This paper analyzes fashion retail store designs in the context of consumer wellbeing. During the study, a survey was conducted on the way millennial shoppers perceive the interior elements that create the atmosphere. As a result of the study, the positive effects of the interior as a whole, rather than the individual effects of the elements are striking.
