3 Reasons To Start The New Year With A Store Renovation

With 2022 well underway, you’re likely considering how to make your New Year’s Resolutions come true. Have you made any for your business? Which business owner hasn’t? With COVID-19 still presenting numerous problems, you may be focused on an online model of doing business. If so, it may be the perfect time of year to upgrade the decor of your store. What benefits would there be to renovating your store? Well, there are several!

Here are three reasons to start the new year with a store renovation:

1.  You could make your place safer.

The pandemic has reminded all of us about the extreme importance of staying safe and keeping ourselves healthy. Perhaps, your store could be a safer place to both shop and work. If a renovation would promote greater spacing on the floor and/or stronger supports for your displays (you never want them to topple over, do you?), it would make your place of business a safer location.

Winnipeg’s Tractus Projects points out that, for them, safety is always a priority. “While working on projects throughout the pandemic, our project managers and site superintendents have been focused on ensuring proper and efficient social distancing measures are in place to not only protect your place of business, but to protect our team members as well,” their site reveals.

2. You need to make better use of your space.

Perhaps, the layout of your store doesn’t generate much action. Can customers easily locate your products? Does your shop feel cluttered? Are the aisles neatly stocked and well maintained? Is the signage worn and/or dilapidated? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions, a makeover is likely in order. Creating a better flow with your store’s space can help to lure more customers and boost your sales.

“It’s no secret that commercial real estate does not come cheap,” writes Jennifer Gaggion on DesignYourMonday.com, “Whether a company owns or is renting an office space, this is an unavoidable part of the overhead costs that come with running a business. This is why it’s essential to ensure a company is maximizing its real estate. Disorganized spaces can lead to wasted space which is something many companies simply can’t afford.”

3. You want to take advantage of the pandemic-created lull.

As mentioned, your store is likely seeing less foot traffic, these days, because of the pandemic. This allows you to renovate your store without causing much of a disruption to the lives of your customers and employees. Ongoing COVID-19 restrictions are why Tractus Projects believes that now is the perfect time to complete updates or renovations.

“With less foot traffic around, our teams will be able to ensure there is less disturbance to your team or customers,” says their website, “We’ll also be able to get things done at a quicker pace without having to worry about any disruptions to work environments.”
