They do this because it makes there products look organised and slick, the same colours packed together catches the customers eye. Furthermore if somebody has come into the shop knowing what they want they can go to the brand then look for the colour they can find easily. Also they can also see the different colours the product can come in.

This is good because the shoppers have a change at looking at the wide range of products that IKEA sell, for example kitchens, bathrooms. Other products could attract their eye meaning IKEA will make revenue. Also IKEA have a restaurant so people sit down mid shop, this leaves discussion so customers may speak about a product they like so they might go back to buy the product. This could also lead to impulse purchases as customers have to walk through the full shop before they reach the product they were looking for. Therefore they could see another product they like whilst walking around the store. ]]> 2020-09-24 13:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/q201000/ominlosbjp1s686o/wish/775609638 q201000 https://padlet.com/q201000/ominlosbjp1s686o/wish/775631385 2020-09-24 13:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/q201000/ominlosbjp1s686o/wish/775631385 q201000 https://padlet.com/q201000/ominlosbjp1s686o/wish/837589294 Complementary is used in IKEA because IKEA have a wide range of products that go together.
