Retail Mirror Trick

The next time you’re in a department store – look AWAY from the mirrors!

There’s a sneaky trick a lot of retailers use to make us buy more – mirrors! If you’ve ever noticed that the shoe department is usually right next to the cosmetics counters, that’s because all those mirrors tend to slow us down. We actually subconsciously see the shoes in the mirrors and may even veer over to that department. That trick works both ways. If we’re there to buy shoes – the mirrors draw our attention to other departments while we wait.
