Environmental
& Behavioural audit
Use the teachings of a qualitative and quantitative “stock take”of a public or retail environment through studying :
-
The routes taken by individuals and the number of visitors to the various areas of an environment.
-
Their active and passive interactions with the various areas of the environment (tracking, photo and video recording).
-
The organization of the environment’s various areas according to user or customer expectations
-
An inventory and evaluation of the existing sensory stimuli (movement, lighting, colours, shapes, furniture, etc.) which influence the subconscious behaviour of individuals in terms of choice of itinerary or purchasing.
-
The consistency between the aim of the environment and how this is articulated by its atmosphere.
-
The relevance and consistency of the information and communication features in the environment (signage, semiological signs, types of information)
-
The performance of merchandising aspects of commercial environments.
Environmental
& Behavioural videos
-
Organise and analyse live recordings of your customers’ actual in stores experiences in order to better understand the factors that influence their behaviour and their attitudes towards the store and brands or the public space.
This analytical approach was developed by LABretail Research and is unique in Europe.
(*) Our use of anonymous observation techniques and photography and videos strictly comply with the legislation related to the protection of the privacy of individuals in all European countries and are monitored by a law firm specialized in the subject.

How do you make the different routes in your space easy to understand?

What influence does the atmosphere of your space have on user perceptions, their behaviours and their feelings of well-being?
-
Are the signage systems sufficiently visible, legible, understandable and located where users need them?
-
Are the sequences of information and communication arranged logically on the routes that your users travel in relation to their needs?
-
Do visual contrasts in information effectively stimulate the selective attention of users?
-
What elements of your space cause an anxiety-inducing behavioral reaction and why?

​You are a brand, distributor or a retailer
Obviously, you want to know and understand the unconscious behaviour of your individuals/customers in your stores or on your website:
-
How and why should we approach the fact that we are dealing with a human being whose needs must be satisfied in your stores or on your website before they become a customer?
-
​Why is it important to understand their physical, physiological, psychological and cognitive sequential functioning in a commercial environment?
-
What sequences drive the unconscious functioning of their vision, memorative and mental maps? What are the consequences on their journey in the store or on the website?
-
How can you adapt the layout, organization, segmentation, and atmosphere of your in-store product worlds to the operating rules of an individual/customer?
-
What are the three fundamental behaviours of an individual/customer and how can you adapt your stores or website to these behaviours?
-
What are the current societal evolutions and how do they influence trade and distribution in particular?
-
What are the needs and demands of the new generations Y & Z in relation to commerce in general and in distribution in particular?
-
What are the relational expectations of the new generations in stores and on websites?
-
What are the emotional, rational and memorative values of the new generations and what are the consequences on their journey in stores and on websites?
-
What are the main traffic flows used by your individuals/customers in store? Why are the other traffic flows less frequented?
-
What are the most active areas in your stores? Why are others less active?
-
How can you improve the ones that are less busy in relation to the individual/customer’s operating sequences?
-
How do your individual/customers interact with the presentation of your product lines in stores or on your website?
-
How can you optimize their interactions with your products to better satisfy them?
-
What do your individual/customers "see" or not "see" in your stores or on your website? Why do they not see it?
-
What semiological keys (lighting, colours, contrasts, shapes, ...) influence the path of your individuals/customers in your stores or website? Why do they do this?
-
Do these keys correspond to the visual and memory recognition hierarchy of your individuals/customers and do they effectively stimulate their selective attention?
How do
We do it?
Anonymous(*) observations
of individuals
Get a consecutive inventory of the interactions, attitudes and behaviour of your visitors or clients as they move through your space or outlet by tracking with photo and video recordings.
Analysis of
the observations
Comparative analysis of interactions, attitudes and behaviours observed related to the unconscious physical, physiological and cognitive psychological functioning of users or individuals/customers. Our unique method results in realistic and applicable recommendations that will accentuate a state of well-being and comfort for your users or individuals/customers and stimulate a desire to return.
Our unique method draws on realistic and applicable recommendations that stimulate a state of wellbeing and comfort in your users and clients, prompting a desire to return. Our analyses are based on the principles of stimulating eye capture and selective attention, behavioural and environmental psychology, emotional and memorative processes, semiology, and non-verbal communication.
