Understanding the influence of physical environment design on emotional well-being and its effect on consumers’ perception towards brand performance: A study in the context of a retail setting in the United Kingdom
Physical environment design (PED) in the context of emotional well-being in retail stores has been widely ignored in the retailing literature so far. Moreover, from a marketing viewpoint, PED not only fulfils the purpose of creating consumer perceptions, but also reflects the success story of a …
