Part 7 Reading Comprehension

Designing retail space takes careful planning. Attention should be paid to what research tells us about consumer behaviour. Stores must be designed with the comfort of shoppers in mind. The aisles should be wide enough to allow shoppers to move through them comfortably. Items should be placed where they can be easily seen by shoppers. Nothing should be put on high shelves where it cannot be reached. Pleasant lighting and music also contribute to the comfort and good feeling of shoppers. Shoppers who feel happy and relaxed will make more purchases.

When organizing the merchandise in a store, the trends of each season should be kept in mind. Picnic and beach equipment should be prominently displayed in the summer, for example, while warm clothing should be featured in the winter. Then, shoppers will return to the store because they will see it as a place that provides what they need.

There should be plenty of checkout aisles so that long lines are avoided. Many people cannot hear long waits, and long checkout lines scare shoppers away from stores. Many stores are now using self-service checkout aisles, although they have not yet been completely accepted by shoppers. They are often confusing to use, and many shoppers find them impersonal. The old-fashioned human cashier is still popular in most retail outlets. Therefore, it is still considered mandatory for stores to have at least some full-service checkout lines manned by cashiers.

When a store is properly designed, shoppers have a pleasant experience and will want to return. This helps the bottom line of the store owner which is, of course, increased sales.

19. According to the article, which shoppers buy more?

(A) Those who have more money.

(B) Those who can reach high shelves.

(C) Those who feel comfortable in the store.

(D) Those who shop in the summer.

20. What does the article say about self-service checkout aisles?

(A) They are popular everywhere.

(B) They aren’t always easy to use.

(C) They are personal.

 (D) They are mandatory.

21. According to the article, what is the most important thing for a store owner?

(A) More sales.

(B) Lighting and music.

(C) Pleasant cashiers.

(D) Wide aisles.
