Nightly fugacious observations
• Nice big blue sign, let’s go in
           • Also the door is wide open
1st time   • They seem welcoming

           • The store is very white and
             almost impeccably clean
           • It is on 2 floors, both well lit
           • It is quiet, although some
             pleasant music is running in the
             background
           • The temperature is warm
             enough but not too much

           • The salesperson is kind and
              wears no uniform but a pair of
              weird mustaches
           • Weird the clothes on sale are at
              the back of the room, not really
              showing
           Eventually I got the stimulation to
           buy something, but prevent from
           doing it since it would have been
           very unscientific
• Less flashy entrance, but
             monumental stair, let’s climb it
2nd time   • The doors are wide open (both)
           • No security in sight here (nice)

           • Very elegant environment
             (looks like a 50s movie set)
           • It is on 2 floors
           • More noisy: the music playing
             does not suit the place
           • I smell perfume (they sell that
             as well), but not too obtrusive

           • The salespersons seem like not
             caring much about customer
             (maybe I don’t look like their
             older typical one)
           • Personnel is definitely
             international and diverse

           I didn’t feel like buying since
           clothes were more on show than
           waiting to be tried on …
• Looks like a club: big neon sign,
             doors completely open and
3rd time     huge security guy

           • Music can be heard from
             outside
           • Look there’s a mustang on
             show and it’s red (loved it)
           • The only thing that would
             attract males is the car, you can
             only see women’s clothing
             from outside
           • The place is loud, too much

           • More customers than before,
             mainly young women
           • Personnel not be seen, I guess
             they entrust a lot the security
             guy

           I didn’t feel like buying since I
           don’t usually do that in a club
Conclusions

• Although the 3 stores are in the same market segment they vary widely in the
  approach to customers
• The disposition of clothing in the store can tell you already half the story




PS: don’t take pics in the store, nowadays everybody is scared by people
stealing shots and then reproducing the product in east Asia
