GET ORGANIZED

Make order your competitive edge - make your business prosper There are many perspectives on order. Naturally, knowing where you’ve got your stuff is a condition for finding and using them. Order brings simplicity, overview and control – order puts you at the helm of things.

And even more importantly, the state of your workplace sends a clear message to your customers; first-rate order – first-rate business. But even though we know that order is a good thing, it might seem so very hard to reach. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. It’s all about allowing for order to happen. It’s all about the right tools. It’s all about IKEA. IKEA believes that an organised business starts with an organised workplace, and offers a wide range of storage solutions making order your competitive edge – a wide range of storage solutions making your business prosper.

WORK SMARTER

Make your merchandise look its best – make your customers desire IKEA has been in the business of retailing since the 50’s, and we dare say we know pretty much what there is to know about it. It all boils down to maximising the store appeal – to blowing your customers away with superior product design and quality. Naturally, the product in itself has to do the biggest job, but the way it is displayed is almost as important. It’s about window and interior display, colour and lighting techniques, three-dimensional presentation and product visibility, line and composition, planning and layout – it’s about store atmosphere, it’s about the overall shopping experience. So, whatever your trade – be sure to put your business on display the best way possible. Be sure to equip your shop with IKEA display solutions for your merchandise to look its best – for your customers to desire.

MEET & WAIT AREAS

Make the workspace look a treat – make your co-workers inspired Covering the whole spectrum from traditional open-plan offices to small backroom tables and chairs – today, workspaces are created in an endless number of ways. But even though laptops are changing the perception of a workspace, even though wireless connections make people free to move around with their equipment, and even though the type and size of the business calls for unique solutions – the basic needs are still the same. We all need places to put away stuff when not in use, we all strive for ergonomics, functionality and good design. And not to forget, we want to spice it up by putting a personal stamp on it all. While at work, it’s all about setting energy free, being inspired and creative. With its profound knowledge of home furnishing and life at work – IKEA embraces it all.

TAKE A BREAK

Make first meetings an opportunity – make waiting a privilege Bringing customers into your own business is no different from bringing friends into your own home. They deserve the same warm welcome, the same hospitality, and the same consideration. It’s all about the little things.

Somewhere to hang the coat and safely keep bags and belongings, somewhere to sit comfortably in a pleasant atmosphere calmly draped in soft music and made alive by invigorating green plants, the casual yet stylish mood being enhanced by tasteful pieces of furniture and textiles in harmonious colours set off by gentle lighting, somewhere to enjoy the refreshment of choice while waiting for your full attention. Make first meetings an opportunity. Make it a moment for your customer to be indulged, to be seen, to feel important – a moment to build trust and loyalty. Make waiting a privilege.

CREATE DISPLAY

Make the break a time to reflect and recover – a remedy for body and soul Some see it as a quick fix, as an unwanted, time consuming necessity just to get through the rest of the day. Some do, but not IKEA. To us, the break is an essential escape from routines, to effectively sort thoughts, impressions and feelings. To us, the break is a vitalising condition for staying on track with motivation and keeping energy levels high. To us, the break is sacred. So whether it be a spontaneous lunch with dear friends at a vibrant café, or a quiet long black by oneself or with colleagues at work – for your customers to feel at ease, to soak up the peace of mind they well deserve, to gain the most of their little time-outs from stressful everyday life demands, IKEA offers all elements to create just the perfect recovery spot, the perfect remedy for body and soul – the perfect break..

DECORATE

Make your business dressed for success – make a success statement Once there is scale, proportion and balance in your business furnishing, then it’s time for the final touch. Then it’s time to spruce it up with décor. When done properly, when colours, patterns and textures are introduced with care, when special needs are accommodated for, when neatly accessorised, your facility will look harmonious, inviting and creative – a silent signal to your customers that they are dealing with a stable and professional company. Bare walls are a no-no, knick knacks have to go. It’s about making a success statement, it’s about building trust, and it’s all about the details. For some a traditional candle style chandelier might do the trick, for others a colourful, braided rug, and for yet some, practical push curtains adorning the windows. Whatever décor you need to dress your business for success, rest assured that you will find it at IKEA.
