Good displays are primarily designed to sell merchandise, but they also create an atmosphere that indicates the character of the store. For example a prestige department store stresses elegance and high styling in its displays to convey the type of merchandise it carries. On the other hand a supermarket covers its windows with signs anniuncing sales and markdowns, which creates the impression that it is a store for bargain hunters. Good interior displays create a pleasing environment for clientele. Tasteful displays make customers feel that the store is providing a pleasant place for them to shop and make the employees feel that the store is interested in them because it provides an attractive place to work.
