    Conclusion

    The structure was all there. I often say design is a business decision, but here it was all personal. So, I left it with the business owner to make a stylistic choice on which version they preferred.

    Can you guess what was their preference?

  • “Big Box” Financial Retail Branding

    Brief

    Following a proven concept of retail marketing and how it can be adapted to retail banking, Banco took existing high street strategy and illustrated how it could work for ‘big box’ retailing.

    What is “big box” retail?

    The phrase “big box” has become the value neutral term describing this category of retail store. Other names include “superstores,” and “large format stores”. Typical characteristics include the following:

    • Retail stores selling a variety of goods and services, usually including clothing, consumer goods, and groceries
    • High-volume, high-efficiency business model that emphasises low prices on everyday consumer needs
    • Buildings of at least 50,000 square feet, ranging up to more than 200,000 square feet.
    • Mostly windowless, roughly rectangular, usually single-story buildings
    • Standardised formats used by most or all stores in the chain
    • Large, free, usually outdoor parking lots

    Rationale
