shops that really work, make money and last longer.”
Creating HAPPY Places
Welcome to retailLAB Design
retailLAB has the back-up of a super team, headed by Marion van den Hout. She heads up the design arm of retailLAB and her trademark attention to detail is seen in all retailLAB Award-Winning stores. She always tells that not only the layout and routing are vital for a good store experience. To move the customer from ‘just looking’ to ‘real buying’ the store needs to inspire and engage. The products have to be highlighted through the best in Visual Merchandising but also pampered by a sales team that really knows how to get, and stay, connected.
We focus on:
- (re)styling,
- All Senses,
- Shop-in-Shop,
- Pop-Up
Why ‘Creating HAPPY Places’?
Because ‘A HAPPY Place makes more money’ and will keep your customers longer instore. Stores that stay ahead of the game, telling stories and creating new values, inspire and engage the Customer.
For example: The Zoomers City Experience
We build an extraordinary new Flagship Citystore in the historical center of Den Bosch, the Netherlands, of about 3000 m2. With a Fashion Café under the same roof we underline our vision of combining quality, attention and comfort.
Everything we do is focussed on the Zoomers’ motto; ‘A Celebration of Fashion’
