A-Z retail tricks to make you shop.

Je herkent ongetwijfeld dingen waar je zelf ook in bent getrapt.
Hier vast een paar voorbeelden:

Canned Smell �?? Most Supermarkets bake their bread early in the morning, however to entice more custom some have resorted to pumping out the smell of fresh baking bread to add to the illusion that it is constantly baked through the day.

Go To The Back �??Supermarkets hit upon the idea of placing the essentials, such as bread and milk, at the back of the shop. This is in order to make people have to walk past the rest of the produce, and heighten the possibility of impulse buys, in order to get their necessities. Changing rooms in clothes shops are almost always situated at the rear of the shop.

Irrational Pricing – Irrational pricing is putting the price of items at say 4.99 instead of 5. Obvious as it may seem, apparently “The reason offered for not instead rounding $4.99 to $5.00 is based on memory processing time. Rounding upward involves an additional decision compared with storing the first digits. Furthermore, due to the vast quantity of information available for consumers to process, the information on price must be stored in a very short interval. The cheapest way to do so, in memory and attention terms, is by storing the first digits.” Therefore customers perceive to be getting a better deal than they infact are.

Yes �?? Would you like fries with that? If an employee asks if a customer would like to upgrade 47% will say yes. Staff will often be told to keep up-selling until the customer says no.
