RMU is retail merchandising unit that are considered to be one of the eminent ways that have been devised to establish the retail presence of small shops. Most often it happens like, despite having good products, shops go unnoticed by shoppers and thus fail to generate revenue just because of their outside appearance. These retail kiosks are also known as RMUs, shop-in-shop, vending kiosks, Mall Carts and so on.

They don’t just help in giving a sense of stability and permanence to the shoppers; they also increase the confidence in shopper’s mind. As they do not take a lot of time to get ready, these kiosks are an appropriate way to make the small retail shops, a famous and well known destination for shoppers. More so, they also are a alternative to high-end storefronts that are tough to compete with. Main feature of these RMU also known as Common Area Stores is to provide a customized planned out area with various accessories that improve the image of the shop.

A series of accessories used are retail ...
... fixtures, shelves and visual merchandising which increase the overall appeal of the kiosks by giving them a new face, ambience and look. Placed in malls and places where hang out joints of regular shoppers are high, they target a 360 degree exposure. This helps in attracting more and more customer’s traffic, as it is placed in the centre of a large space or along the wall. All of this cannot be done without the skills and expertise of highly professional in house designers and developers, trained in material expertise.

These designers, either independent or provided by the agencies, make optimal use of the vertical space provided by the retailer by not letting a distance increase from the products. Regardless of the space, they make a good use transforming the place into a store that adds variety to the customer’s shopping experience, by giving a new touch and feel to the representation of the products.
