    The KSF Global retail consultancy service has been created for brands, retailers and trade clients, to improve their retail projects. To date, we have helped retail marketers, board level delegates and operational professionals make sense of what they wish to achieve.

    We consult to create a better retail experience. With decades of experience helping brands and retailers align their buying, planning and visual merchandising processes. We look to overcome any hurdles a retailer may face in the most ingenious and effective ways possible.

    Our retail consultancy service can offer improvement in several areas:

    Thanks to our many years of experience in retail, we have helped many clients to make permanent improvements to their retail operations and product campaigns. Overall, our aim is to optimise value in order to help enhance the bottom line and still focus on creating a better outcome for your project.

    A retail strategy is the process you use to develop your products or services and sell them to customers. This entails a number of key elements, including location, store, merchandise/assortment, visual merchandising, staff, service, mass media and communications and price.

    We are always happy to review retail marketing strategy plans, whether you are a retailer with several stores or a marketing manager with a product campaign.

    In the past, we have helped clients to:

    • Save money on production by utilising manufacturing in new locations, such as China or Eastern Europe.
    • Reduce total project costs by using innovative graphics
    • Create eye-catching product displays that drive sales
    • Develop innovative technology solutions that create a buzz around a brand

    Retail experience, globally, has been through some suffering times. High streets have seen an increase in empty shops, declining footfall and there is no guarantee this will change any time soon. Retailers need to focus on providing the best possible shopping experience that is effective, tells a meaningful brand story and meets customer expectations by doing everything which is expected of them.

    What we can do for your sector

    Let’s discover your Value Proposition together

    One of the best ways to use point of sale stands is to create a value proposition; something that quickly communicates to consumers exactly why buying your product is the right thing for them. This should be done in clear, concise language, ideally with a specific call to action that informs customers of the main reason they should make a purchase.

    “I have been working with KSF for around four years now and in that time, we have developed a solid relationship. I particularly like working with Benjamin Wang, who brings a different perspective to most issues that other companies do not. In our time working together, KSF have completed several large projects for some major high street names to a high standard, in a timely manner. Their pricing has always been competitive, regardless of the type of product. The team as KSF have excellent communication and I would wholeheartedly endorse them as a supplier.”
