It can be placed against a wall or can stand as an individual partition (if you choose the free-standing version). FLOOR Recommended colour of the floor is light grey - Coolgrey (7042 or 7044).

Regardless of the size of the shop the Husqvarna Shop System helps you to use your sales area as efficiently as possible, to draw attention of your customers and to strengthen the brand s positioning. The basic equipment contains the one-sided system that needs to be mounted to the wall. It comprises of two grid elements with shelves and hangers, one grid element for banner including the banner, suspended double-sided brand module and bike platform including the bike stand. The elements enable you to display the highlight bike on the platform and arrange the Husky Power and Husky Style collection items in the grid elements.

11 INTERIOR POSITION Husqvarna Shopmanual PAGE 11 The Husqvarna shop area should be given a prominent position in the shop; either close to the entrance or close to the window area so that the machines are visible from the side on the entry to the showroom. If displaying more bikes, they should be facing in one direction and parallel to one another as well as to the entry and/or windows for optimum from the outside. Husqvarna brand must be clearly differentiated from any other brands in the showroom and good visibility needs to be assured. The area is identified by the elements of the Shop System and has to be clearly separated from other brands presentation area. The grid elements featuring Husky Power and Husky Style range serve as a background for the product presentation and therefore need to stand parallel to the display window or to the entrance to ensure optimum visibility and maximum long-range impact. The highlight products are always displayed in the most prominent position (bike always on the bike platform). Good accessibility to the products must be guaranteed for customers in the showroom.

16 INTERIOR Lightning Husqvarna Shopmanual PAGE 16 The rational and appropriate use of lighting is an important way to set the scene for products perfectly in order to increase the customer s attention to products. The following advices should be observed: A pleasant atmosphere achieved through balanced lighting increases the time the customer spends in the shop. Use the light to highlight the selected products or product groups, make them eye-catchers. The optimum lighting of your products helps customers to find what they are looking for, so pay attention to it. Use two-sided product lighting for a shadow-free illumination. Make sure that the lighting is non-reflective

17 Husqvarna Shopmanual PAGE 17 SHOP WINDOW

18 Shop window Husqvarna Shopmanual PAGE 18 The aim of your shop s front window is to direct the interest of passers-by to the items in your showroom and to prompt potential customers to enter the shop. By being a kind of a face of your store the display window is an important part of external communication. For this reason it is necessary that maximum attention is paid to a design which is both well thought-out and visually appealing. To ensure this the following core points need to be observed: 1. LESS IS MORE An overloaded shop window doesn t do much to entice customers in, even the opposite, it can put them off. Stick to the Swedish simplicity and premium character of the Husqvarna brand. Less is also more in this case. 3. DECORATION The same minimalistic rule applies for the decoration. Focus on one main topic per display and communicate one single core message. It s the best way to persuade the viewer at the first glance. 4. AUTHORIZED DEALER The Authorized Dealer sign stands for the highest service and quality standards certified by Husqvarna Motorcycles as well as for expertise and holistic customer support. The sign must be clearly visible; ideally in the display window or near the entrance door. The Authorized Dealer signs in the form of a window sticker are only available at your national Husqvarna sales managers. Authorized Dealer Window Sticker 2. COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVES On the one hand, the aim is to engage existing customers by presenting new items. On the other hand, the aim is to present the brand s core values emotionally and demonstrate these values to potential customers. The shop window should therefore reflect Husqvarna s core values: Sweden, Racing, Premium, Tradition.
