Why does the sequence of showroom, market hall, and self-serve furniture area make commercial sense for a shopper choosing a sofa or table?

Answer: Imagine then buy

Efficient pickup — Efficient pickup is plausible because the self-serve area does make collecting bulky items practical. But pickup efficiency explains the end of the route, not why room scenes and smaller goods come first. The commercial logic starts before the warehouse.

Imagine then buy ✓ — The sequence first helps the shopper imagine a product in a lived-in room, then makes smaller related goods available, then sends bulky items to pickup. This reduces abstraction before purchase. The customer is not just seeing stock, but rehearsing ownership.

Compare prices first — Compare prices first sounds rational because sofas and tables are expensive enough to invite comparison. But this route starts with use scenes before pickup, not a spreadsheet-like price tournament. Price still matters, but the sequence first makes the product imaginable.
