BOC Week 7: Exercise - Visit a retailer


A main component of branding for retailers would be the store itself. When you walk into the store, you are supposed to get the feel of what type of clothing or merchandise they will sell. For example, when you look at Hot Topic stores you know exactly what you will find inside the store. I chose to visit my new favorite store called Bohme, which is located in Town Square. The vibe of the store is very fresh and clean. The fixtures are all white and everything looks light in the store. They have mostly soft colors and designs on their accent walls. The customer service is actually really good. The girls that work there are very attentive, but don’t hover over my shoulder. They always ask if I need help, a dressing room, or if there is anything I need in particular. The sales associates all fit the part as well. They are very girly and natural looking. The merchandise is very girly, which you can tell by looking at their visuals what kind of demographic they are targeting. I think there brand image is a fun, fresh, and girly. They don’t quite tell a story, but the white fixtures and light atmosphere could make girls feel like they will leave looking prettier. The store in general makes you feel pretty cause everything is light, flowy and silky. They just want to make your experience an easy and stressfree.
