Fun retail facts
With the busy shopping season upon us, we often forget about the joy & reason we love retail. Here are some fun facts:
Department stores have no windows or clocks. Stores want people to lose track of time!
The bathroom is never on the first floor! Customers who want to use the facilities must go to another floor where they just might become entranced with other products not on the shopping list.
The elevator in a department store is always hidden and hard to find, but the escalator is in plain sight. Using an escalator, shoppers see tantalizing displays and it encourages impulse buying.
Men’s clothing is usually on upper levels. If women, who usually shop for their husbands, must go to another level, they will see more and buy more than if they can find what they want on the first level.
Jams match the hour. Early in the day you’ll often hear serene music in the background. In the late afternoon or evening, when there is a rise in the number of shoppers and people needing to find their products, the music switches to a more upbeat rhythm. It encourages shoppers to rush and finish their shopping. Upbeat music is also featured during discount sales and promos.
Mirrors are hard to find in fitting rooms, because developers want customers to ask a clerk how the garment works. Flattering words encourage sales, the harsh reality of looking in a mirror sometimes discourages sales.
See-through carts encourages shoppers to subliminally want what someone else is buying. Think about those handy carts at Kohls stores…you plop in the cart the things you want, sometimes hanging a hanger over the back of the cart to keep a dress from wrinkling, and everyone gets to see how attractive it is. In the process, some of those people start looking for the same dress. #retail #sales
Being a nice employee in Retail
When I was a Store Manager, I look to hire applicants that had a positive attitude,energy and open to learn.
Ponder over this tweet from Bruce Nordstrom "We hire nice people and teach them to sell, but we can't hire sales people and teach them to be NICE"
