• {{objectives}} — what you hope to achieve (e.g., improve customer flow, increase sales)

Instructions

2. Analyze the competitors' layouts, noting innovative design elements and potential weaknesses.
3. Compare these to your own layout and identify opportunities for improvement.
4. Provide actionable recommendations to enhance your store's layout and customer experience.
5. Suggest key performance indicators to track the impact of changes.

Output format Provide a comparative analysis with a summary of competitor strategies, your strengths/weaknesses, and a list of recommended actions. Use a structured, data-driven tone.

• Avoid recommending copying competitors; focus on adapting best practices.
• Flag any assumptions about competitor strategies.
