1. What is important when relocating a business? Local workforce available, Location of site
On top of that, local workforce available is no minor factor either when relocating a business. If an area has an abundant supply of highly skilled professionals in your industry, you are more likely to recruit the best candidate for any job. That will help reduce business costs and enhance productivity.
2.What is important when planning the layout of a new store? Attractiveness, Security of goods
For one thing, attractiveness is probably the single most important factor in store layout. In today’s competitive business environment, any store owner must try his or her best to make the store appealing, stylish, and cozy in order to attract customers into the store. Only then is there a possibility of creating transactions with the customers.
That said, security of goods should also become a consideration. Certain store layouts allow customers close access to goods. That’s reasonable because customers would buy the goods only if they have seen them clearly. Yet for precious or fragile goods, such as jewelry or porcelain, there should always be some forms of protection, say an alarm, to prevent theft or damage.
