The neuroscience of shopping and how to enhance the lighting design

Presentation date: 24. October
Presentation time: 12:15

The presentation focuses on the impact of digitalization, the new way of shopping and how retail design is being redefined. Retail stores are entertainment hubs and brands only survive if consumers interact with them on different levels in the shopping environment. Tradespeople have invested heavily in neuromarketing and neurodesign studies to find out how to engage with the customer and how to steer them efficiently through the store.
The speaker has undertaken neuroscientific research that can be helpful in redefining retail lighting criteria, and worked as a project manager for many retail projects in the Middle East and India.
