Retail Tactic

If you’re going shopping – beware of the music...

If you hear a slow song playing in that store – watch out! Retailers have us figured out and they know we’ll slow down and spend more with that relaxing soundtrack. The same trick works in trendy teen stores with popular music – they hear their favorite song and they feel good and stay longer. People who talk on the phone while they shop may be annoying – but they spend a LOT less. Shopping with a friend works too – chat more – spend less.
