Increasing fashion footfall and sales

How lighting can transform stores

Brand image is everything in fashion. And there’s nothing like pitch-perfect lighting to reflect that image. Brands are using dynamic lighting in window displays to grab shoppers’ attention and increase footfall by up to 19%.

In store, lighting helps create a brand’s signature ambience. While in the fitting-room, adjustable lighting can increase sales by 15%. Simply put, high-quality lighting plays a crucial role at every step of the shopping journey.

Attract: the experience begins before stepping in-store

Flooding a store’s façade in light does more than just demand passing shoppers’ attention. It turns the store into a landmark and nighttime attraction, increasing footfall and sales opportunities. And with dynamic lighting, retailers can create eye-catching displays for different seasons or specific events, or use the façade to advertise brands.

The shop window – increasing footfall by up to 19%

The window display is a brand’s five-second sales pitch to tempt passing shoppers inside. Dynamic displays featuring programmable lighting sequences enable brands to create scenes and tell stories that resonate with shoppers. When Milan-based high-end fashion store, Eral 55, installed programmable lighting to create dynamic window displays, the number of shoppers entering the store increased by up to 19%.

Engage: continuous innovations transforming stores

Brand ambience: the power of light

People have expectations when they step inside a brand’s store. They expect it to look and feel a certain way. They expect to recognize immediately the brand’s identity. High-quality light is crucial for creating visuals that resonate with a brand’s customer-base.

About OneSpace

Multi-sensory stimulation

Major fashion brand Ted Baker creates a unique interior design for each of its stores, with light and music working together – scheduling, zoning and dimming combine to create a vibrant ambience.

At the Glasgow store, the ambience changes throughout the day via dynamic themes: ‘everyday’, with lighting on and music in the background; ‘evening’, where lighting dims 30% and the music is louder; and ‘nightclub’, where most of the lighting is off and music plays very loud. A performance area was even set up to allow local bands to play.
