EuroShop has a plethora of services to help trade fair guests from throughout the world to make their visit a resounding success. Store Design Stage and Designers’ Stage with a host of hands-on tips The Shop Fitting, Store Design & Visual Merchandising Dimension is one of eight experience areas of EuroShop and the heart of the exhibition.

More action, more drama, more emotions and a better focus on shoppers’ wishes – this is what physical retail must offer to stand its ground vying for customers. EuroShop 2023 will showcase the complete spectrum of concepts, products and ideas to turn a store into a customer experience and establish it as a Third Place – a place where you like to meet and while away your time and not just for shopping. In the Shop Fitting, Store Design & Visual Merchandising Dimension EuroShop visitors can either draw on inspirations from temporary design and modular concepts or find hands-on solutions for sustainability. Here, forms and functions are often derived from nature, but digital elements have also become indispensable. The number of products, solutions and services offered in this Dimension is wide, ranging from store architecture, store design, store planning and project management to display mannequins, display busts, display counters and mirror systems to display stands, changing cubicles, sales counters, showcases, shopping carts and lots more.
