Lab Accident | Do big stores trap you so you will buy more ? |
I have noticed the bigger stores, like Wal-Mart, Targed, Sam's, Etc. are setup like a maze. This is to trap you, make you feel overwhelmed, relaxed like you are out in a pasture, and in turn, you will buy more. What do you think, am I right ? |

It's a marketing ploy. Retailers line the outer corners of the store with the most expensive, popular or sale items. So it's hard to leave the store without seeing them.
I use a list whenever I shop so I'm not tempted to buy things I don't need. |

Yep. Of course they do.
I worked at Wal-Mart for a very short time, years ago. Worst job I ever had. We had to learn how to stock the shelves for maximum impact. All that stuff you see at the ends of the aisles is stuff they are trying to get you to buy. We had lists of "impulse" items that we stocked next to cash registers or at the ends of aisles.
It works like a charm too. We'd load up an end cap with some product. The minute you stick 200 of them neatly on the shelf, customers think it's a bargain, no matter what the price is. |

they try to put as much advertisements in front of your eyes because the more people that are forced to see a product, the higher chances it will be bought more. The maze is not really a trap, they are just trying to use the most space they can use for profit. It really is all about the money. The more things they can stick in a high-traffic zone, the higher the sales will be. |

You bring up a good point. The problem is trapping you and making you feel "overwhelmed" does not make you purchase more.
It's an issue Wal-Mart has been working on for the past few years. When people feel overwhelmed they actually turn defensive and are less likely to casually walk through the store. Retailers love “browsing customers” and use attractive displays to not only lure you to a product, but to that area of the store. It’s not the product on the displays that they are trying to get you to purchase.
Wal-Mart and other companies are constantly testing ideas to make their stores feel more friendly and inviting. There’s a lot more to it then just sticking things on shelves or throwing merchandise to the floor. A lot of new prototype stores are being built with some new concepts. It will be interesting to see what exactly Wal-Mart and other stores like Target will come up with next. I see some dramatic changes on the horizon. |

Well, yeah! Of course they do, they want more money, don't most people? They set up the stores so you will make impulse buys. It is a marketing strategy. All you have to do is pay attention to what you're doing and think, "Am I going to use this at all with in the next five or ten weeks?". |

I think that they definitely set stores up in a way that make you buy more. Like have things at the check out, so while you are waiting you will get bored and end up buying something else that you don't really need.
The one that gets me is the way Ikea is set up. I am not sure if it is the same worldwide, but the one here in West Aussie is set up so you have to follow the arrows, and you can't get out unless you go past EVERY section of the store! So if you are going there to buy a couch you end up buying kitchen utensils, bedding, picture frames, lamps and even stop for a meal at the restaurant!
I am a shop-a-holic, so I don't mind too much....but they are out to get you! That's for sure!! |
