To make a good first impression on a customer, retail cleaning should be a priority. Here are six tips to maintaining a clean, welcoming storefront.
Given that your business may have a mere seven seconds — or even less — to make a good impression on a customer, retail cleaning should be a priority. In every business, regardless of the industry, cleanliness has a major impact on the customer experience. The 2010 Shopper Forward report by the NACS/Coca-Cola Retailing Research Council and Integer asserted that cleanliness is the foundation of a shopper’s experience.
