In addition, we should also consider whether our target consumer groups are mainly for the mass consumer groups, or for the middle and high class consumer groups. Under normal circumstances, most shops are suitable for people with larger traffic volume, especially those with mature local business activities and relatively dense commercial facilities.

Shops should avoid these locations. Also, try not to open a street in the middle of the road with isolation barriers, because this will restrict the flow of people across the street. Even if your shop signs are made more attractive, the customers across the street can only "shop and sigh". Traffic convenience is one of the conditions to choose the location of a store. It is best to have a bus stop near the store, as well as the upper and lower stations for taxis. In addition, there should be parking lots or spaces for parking in front of shops or accessories, which will make it easier for customers to shop.

The location and orientation of shops are also very important. Shop fronts should be as wide as possible. On the same side of a street, because of the habit of pedestrians, passenger flow is not necessarily the same. We should carefully observe the direction of passenger flow and locate on the side of more passengers. Long distance bus stops, railway stations and urban main roads, although the flow of people is also large, but the passenger flow is faster, many people are not shopping purposes, short stay time, shop in these places, we must carefully choose according to their business needs.
