RENCANA RUNCIT
LAYOUT TO STAND OUT THIS
FESTIVE SEASON
!
From Hari Raya to Chinese New Year, and Deepavali to Christmas, our country is a
melting pot of many festivals. These occasions are usually synonymous with joyous
family reunions and gift giving. Most importantly, the festive season is also a major
sales period for retailers like yourself. It is during this time that shoppers rush to
purchase essential items to celebrate the festivities.
!
You already know that you should be leveraging on this opportunity to increase sales
and promote your store. However, you can do much more than just holding a sale. Let
Runcit Malaysia take you through an ideal store so you can pick up some tips to
maximise your store layout and attract shoppers to your store for the upcoming
festive season.
!

RENCANA RUNCIT
1. Make the most of
your store entrance
Your shop entrance has
the highest shopper
traffic in your entire
shop. And what better
way to reassure and
confirm a customer's
decision for walking in
than to present them
with a great festive
offer?
!
2. Outside your store
Many retailers pitch a
tent on this space to sell
items that shoppers will
need for their
celebrations, like festive
cookies, prayer items
and decorative lights.
For instance, open a tent
during Hari Raya to sell
kuih-muih, ketupat, and
dates. Or leading up to
Chinese New Year, you
could sell mandarin
oranges and hampers. Of
course, you will need to
apply permission from
your local council first.

3. Creating attractive
displays
Create displays as a
means to grab shoppers’
attention and introduce
them to the products for
sale in your store. Speak
to your suppliers about
product display
campaigns from brand
owners that are usually
held during the festive
season. A well thought
out and decorated
gondola end or floor
display will be attractive
and draw people to them
like a magnet.

RENCANA RUNCIT
4. Give attention to the right.
Usually, shoppers entering shops will tend to turn to their right. Research also shows
the right hand aisles in supermarkets get increased flows. For you this means you
need to pay special attention to what you do with the right hand side of your shop.
!
5. Place products at the cashier.
It is another place where traffic is very concentrated as shoppers wait their turn to be
served. Use this area to sell unplanned purchases or purchases on impulse. It is the
sort of stuff that grabs attention and won't break the bank, that makes people think, "I
could use one of those". It works.
!
“The early bird catches the worm”, so you should start preparing in advance for a
festive season. Once you’re satisfied, try your hand at browsing your own store and
see if it works.

APAKAH ITU BARISTA?

berasaskan espresso. Barista adalah perkataan Itali yang bermaksud “pelayan bar”, yang biasanya

5. For the general trade, we noted that SUPER has
introduced smaller pack sizes, advertised regularly in
Runcit Malaysia Magazine and are even enclosing free
sachets for our retailers. How else will SUPER support the
general trade in the coming months?
For this campaign, we have introduced a specially marked pack,
SUPER Charcoal Roasted White Coffee Classic at only RM10.99,
inclusive of GST! This is the first time we have marked the price
so low.
!
6. What is your final advice to all retailers?
As your shelf space is limited, you should not sell too many
coffee brands. Stick to the top brands that constantly invest in
advertising and promotions, which help grow demand and
increase sales. Additionally, you should sell more white coffee
as it can give you better margins. Take this opportunity to
leverage on our RM10.99 marked pack promotion and
introduce SUPER Charcoal Roasted White Coffee to your
shoppers.

What is a barista?
A barista is a person specially trained to make and serve
specialty espresso-based coffee drinks. Barista is an Italian
word meaning “bartender”, who typically works behind the

PROFITABLE TOY VENDING MACHINE
I installed a vending machine selling
children’s toys outside my store about one
year ago. It has proven popular with the
children in my area, as I earn more than
RM200 a month from its sales. Not only do I
profit from toy sales, I also see an increase
in sales for snacks as well.

NEW OPPORTUNITY

Two brothers saw a golden
opportunity and opened a retail
store in a new township. Although
business was slow early on, sales
began to boom as more people
started moving in. While his
brother has since migrated, Dev
Anand a/l Pandurengan still runs
the business successfully. We speak
to him to find out how his business
continues to thrive.
Tell us how did Super Star Store
come about?
Before, I was working in a factory
until it fell bankrupt. My brother
brought up the idea of opening a
kedai runcit in a new Menglembu
township. When the store opened in
2003, business was so slow that we
earned under RM100 daily.
However, our patience paid off and
business picked up by 2006 as
more residents moved into the area.
!
How do you cope with the increased business?
About two years ago, the neighbouring corner lot was available. I jumped at the
opportunity and rented the lot to expand my shop. I now have two lots side by
side. As a result, my business grew further and I rented the shoplot opposite to be
my storeroom. Furthermore, I am looking for another storeroom!
!
What attracts shoppers to your store?
I sell a large number of household goods from a wide range of brands. I am also
well-stocked with fresh vegetables, rice and fish, which are highly in demand. My
shoppers are spoilt for choice and don’t need to travel far to shop. As an added
advantage, I believe I have many return shoppers because I make it a point to
build good relationships with them. My shoppers are satisfied with the service and
price of my goods.
!
What is your advice to other retailers?
Even when presented with a golden opportunity, you need to keep working hard to
make your business prosper. Never give up, and work towards achieving your
personal goals and you will definitely see the fruits of your labour.
