Why [Exterior] Looks Count for Retailers

Tips for the Outside: Create an Inviting Exterior and Entrance

Knowing how important a store’s external appearance is, you can’t take your store’s appearance for granted. Insure that the exterior is clean and inviting each day.

  • Make sure all external signage is clear, modern and compelling. Ask yourself what impression your sign makes on potential customers.
  • Ensure all exterior signage lighting is working so your store name is clearly visible from the street.
  • Remove all trash from the exterior of the building and sidewalks. Power wash if needed.
  • Clean the parking lot.
  • Professionally clean windows and remove any outdated information posted in windows and entryway, 
  • Sweep and clean the entryway.
  • Make sure the store entry is uncluttered.

Shopping is like buying a house, If a store doesn't have “curb appeal”, a potential customer isn't going to go in. Based solely on the appearance from the street, more than two-thirds of consumers decided not to visit a business, according to a 2011 survey by Morpace, a market research and consulting firm.  Other findings from this survey include:


  • 95% said stores’ external appearance influences their decisions about where to shop.
  • 52% said they avoided a store because of a dirty appearance from the outside.
  • 39% said they won’t enter a store that doesn't “look like a place I would normally shop.”

    Our Mr Oven Cleaner cleaning products are all 100% safe with no nasty fumes or unpleasant chemicals. The process involves stripping down the appliance by removing all shelves, interior 'self-cleaning' panels and fan guard (behind which an amazing amount of gunge lurks!) These parts then go into a custom-made, van-based heated system where the grease and burnt-on food deposits are dissolved away.
