German term
wohlfühlen
German to English
Bus/Financial
Retail
"Reinkommen und sich wohlfühlen"
This appears in a brochure for a wholesaler of upmarket household items such as towels, soap dispensers, and other bathroom and kitchen accessories. The brochure is selling the racks and other presentation materials that retailers can use to display the merchandise. The brochure is a glossy affair consisting mostly of beautiful photos. One of them shows an area of a retail store filled with numerous shelves and racks that customers can walk among to admire the merchandise. The photo is accompanied by the above phrase.
I have thought of these but don't like them:
"Enter and feel good"
"Enter and feel at home"
"Enter and feel comfortable"

Not sure whether your slogan refers to the wholesaler buying shop fittings, or the retail customer perusing the merchandise. In any case, it's the purchasing experience that's alluded to here. My answer should cover either.
Hope it helps.

Come in and chill out - if you're able to get away with a degree of artistic licence?

Come in and let yourself go - spending lots of money in the process, obviously ;-)

: Yes: ‘Enjoy!’ (It used to be a transitive verb). ‘Chill out’? Depends on the background music.

Comment: "This was the close runner up, but I ended up using "Come in and feel welcome" because it's less about the merchandise than the display setting."

A retail experience is more pro-active than ‘relaxing’ or ‘unwinding’
