In addition to simplifying the moving line of the store, widening the aisle and strengthening the marketing of hot selling products, so as to facilitate consumers to quickly find the goods they need. Due to the increase of consumers' time staying at home during the pandemic, people pay more and more attention to home life and rituals. Taking the fragrance as an example, the purchase was 10 times higher than that before the pandemic. Therefore, A. Mart introduced the "home fragrance try-out area" in its branch stores, and help people easily choose the most suitable taste of happiness for their own family.
