Agreed with the tips given by Mr Krishna.

A retail store requires comprehensive marketing planning, from determining the products being sold to how the in-store advertising materials will be displayed. Part of that planning is developing effective retail layout strategies. Each retail store needs to address basic strategy concepts, monitor customer response to any strategies used, and make changes that improve sales.
