Hello, and welcome to another edition of the TRIO Display Newsletter. This month we're taking a look at "theming" your retail space; an element of store design that has the ability to take your business the next level. As you'll read in our feature article, creating an overall theme for your store lifts your brand, improves the consumer's shopping experience and has a profound effect on customer loyalty--all of which lead to more sales.

Our design article this month features off-road retailer Chaparral Motorsports' remodel of their gigantic 60,000 square-foot showroom. Read how we corraled and organized their merchandise while improving traffic pathways. The techniques described here can apply to any retailer looking to make their store more user-friendly and profitable.

Also, don't forget that you'll need to set your clock forward a little early this year as the change to Daylight Savings Time has been moved up to March 11th. I don't know about you, but around here we're definitely looking forward to a little extra daylight after "quittin' time." Until next time, take care and happy retailing.

Regards,
Adam Jones – Editor
