Men are never right. When it comes to shopping.
A cousin of mine, a marketing graduate who’s been head hunted twice within a year of his first job, once told me something very interesting about marketing and merchandising.
A few years ago, he told me about a study that showed that when men enter a retail clothes shop, they have a tendency to go to the left and would generally need clothes laid down and displayed to captivate their attention.
On the other hand, women would turn right. Aisles flanked by clothes hung on rails are sufficient to spark their curiosity and produce a purchase.
I suppose what we’re looking at here is what a retail clothes store has to do in order to captivate general groups of their customers, and result in a sale.
There’s strong evidence in this.
1. Observe a couple walking into a shop. The man would be holding his woman’s left arm with his right. Her right hand would be holding a phone to her ear. In her preoccupied state of mind, you will observe the man’s right hand attempting to reach into his wallet. To hide some of his cash money and cards into a safe compartment so as to allow his woman to contribute to the economy of the country he pays taxes to.
2. This is my personal experience. 5 years ago, after my girlfriend bought me that fabulous car, I moved in with her.
To my surprise, only 4 out of the 37 compartments in the wardrobe was empty. They were all on the left. But for some odd reason I always forgot that my stuff was on that side of the wardrobe.
We broke up.
She even took the car keys back when I came over to pack my stuff.
To make me look even more stupid, she repeated a few times which part of the room my stuff was at. Except this time it was in a bloody box next to the drums.
Now I heard the bitch is going out with some hiphop superstar.
