The document provides recommendations for improving the in-store customer experience at Yuterra based on an audit and benchmarking analysis. Key recommendations include more effectively using storefront displays, rationalizing signage styles to better fit the brand identity, and using bolder signage fonts for improved readability. Multichannel strategies are also addressed, suggesting the store experience should better reflect synergies with the website, magazine, catalogue, and social media.
4. UK Overview...From DIY to Do it for me...
1 in 10 Brits claim to have no DIY skills - “Generation Rent”.
50% now outsource labour intensive projects.
Spending on DIY tools and materials has fallen 22% in real terms since 2008.
But spending on tradesmen’s services has held steady.
10% rise in number of self-employed tradesmen since the financial crisis.
Changing Consumer Mindsets/Capabilities
5. Online platforms enable consumers to connect to and review local tradesmen.
Do it for me...the empowered customer...UK
6. Now introduced into Lowe’s 1,700 stores

Do it for me...the empowered customer...USA
Porch.com has database of 3.2m professionals and photos of 130m home
improvement projects.
7. Consumer perception of DIY is becoming more about
design than practical skills.
‘Creating’ a look or style within the home has become the
key focus.
Changing colour schemes, restyling rooms, creating
feature walls, upcycling furniture - still mainly female.
Labour intensive jobs are still predominantly male.

“For every man that feels
comfortable to leave DIY
to someone else, there is
a woman who wants to
do it herself.”
“DIY is no longer about
necessity, but more about
the pleasure and pride
someone gets from the
creation of something
new - a transition from
fixer to maker.”
From DIY to CIY: ‘Create it yourself’

34. Existing brandmark
Brandmark typestyle should be more bold to
add extra impact especially on fascias etc.
Brandmark icons and typestyle don’t fit together stylistically
the brush is the only icon that bleeds out the
top of the square which makes it stand out
contemporary and sophisticated typestyle
suggested heavier weight
colourful icons are playful and fun
• There are two different graphic styles
that don’t quite fit together.
The typestyle is contemporary, clean
and sophisticated, yet the icons
although friendly are slightly
childish with the teddybear and
bright primary colours being the most
identifiable features.
