11、 will come up with different strategies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers purchasing decisions.Nobe

A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasnt. It found that the smell increased the number of con

13、sumers purchasing items and the amount of their purchases.

15、f music can have a big impact on consumers moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that cu

16、stomers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isnt your b

17、est choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers experience.
