Which could be a consequence of failing to leave adequate space between floor fixtures?

Leaving inadequate space between floor fixtures can create an appearance of clutter in a retail environment. This clutter can overwhelm customers, making it difficult for them to navigate the space or focus on individual products. When displays are too close together, it can distract from the merchandise and detract from the shopping experience, ultimately leading to decreased customer satisfaction and potentially impacting sales. An organized layout, with sufficient space between fixtures, allows for an inviting atmosphere, making it easier for customers to browse and engage with the products effectively.

The other consequences related to customer access, flow, and visual appeal are all improved by having adequate spacing; therefore, they do not represent the negative impact that results from overcrowding in the store layout.
