1. Store environments can influence customer behavior - relaxing music and scents can encourage customers to spend more time browsing, while intense lighting and cramped aisles can make customers feel rushed.
2. Product placement and pricing strategies aim to maximize sales - expensive items are placed at eye level while discounts are tucked away, and arranging by color, price or similarity can help customers find what they want.
3. Customer demographics provide insights - most shoppers are women between 20-50, alone for necessities but accompanied for luxury purchases, and only about half complete a purchase after browsing.

Assignment #2. A Crash Course on Creativity, Professor Tina Seelig, Stanford...awesomeGod
The document provides an overview of a crash course on creativity taught by Professor Tina Seelig at Stanford University. It discusses how the course examines different aspects of creativity, including how to think creatively, recognize opportunities, and overcome obstacles to pursuing creative ideas. The course aims to help students develop their creative abilities and apply creativity to solve problems in various domains.
The document provides observations from visits to 6 different retail stores. Key points include: Stores varied in temperature, music volume, employee uniforms/ages, product placement, and sales approaches. Opportunities identified were improving signage, lighting, employee communication, and reducing clutter. The observations aim to understand different store environments and strategies.
The document provides observations from several stores including Anthropologie, Barnes & Noble, J.Crew, H&M, Michael's, and Urban Outfitters. Key insights include that sale items are placed in different areas of stores, atmosphere and decor create unique store personalities, and customer service can be improved. Opportunities also exist to encourage more browsing through creative displays and reducing clutter on shelves.
The document describes observations made while visiting different types of stores. It notes key details about the environment, products, personnel, and customers for each store. The stores observed include a discount store, pharmacy, kiosk, grocery store, bakery, and open air market. Common themes across stores include the use of impulse items near the cash register to encourage additional purchases and the role of signage, smells, and open versus closed doors in attracting or discouraging customers from entering.
The document provides observations from visits to three different stores - a confectionery, a bookstore, and a shoes and bags store. For each store, observations are provided about the exterior and entrance, interior environment, personnel, products, customers, and other notable features. The stores are compared in terms of color scheme, lighting, noise level, cash register location, security visibility, personnel uniforms and demographics, product arrangement and pricing, and whether free samples are offered. Overall impressions and differences between the stores are highlighted.
