The YVR International Bookstore's redesign strategy aims to create a more accommodating environment for customers while improving traffic flow and ambiance. By analyzing data from a 2-week random sampling of potential customers, we've identified key issues such as poor traffic attraction and an outdated design not catering to the majority demographic. Our plan includes budget-friendly improvements, collaboration with local businesses, and new marketing opportunities to enhance customer engagement and longevity. Key investments focus on furniture upgrades, CRM software, and modified layout designs.
