Crash course on creativity
Venture Lab

      Insights and
      opportunities
     Store stalking is a personal interest and
     more of a hobby of mine so I would be
       creative enough to stick to my own
                 observation lab

  I leave it for the readers’ imagination and so
   called creativity by having no pictures ,so I
     hope you would get your creativity out.
How it begins
If one has something in mind predefined one always
   goes to a specific store.
Else the logo color and postings and hoardings
   matter but people hardly care
for these things.
Most stores however have standard ways to
   somehow attract customers despite customers
   hardly noticing it.
The variation of stores
• I have seen a lot of difference between stores
  across Germany ,also within stores there is a
  difference based on the demography of the place.
• I observe it based on cost of living of the place
  and affordability/willingness to pay.
• I have been visiting many stores in Germany to
  name a few:
  LIDL,NETTO,ADESE,KAUFLAND,PENNY,AL
  DI,REWE,MARKAUFT and so on.
What I feel like doing in a store
• Sometimes I go to a store just to look at people to
  see how they behave at stores what sort of moods
  they come with and so on.
• I find that usually a lot of people come in specific
  need of a good and like to touch goods physically
  and the store employees too encourage it as a
  marketing stunt in spite of some customers being
  very annoying.
Products
• Once I start looking at products usually the
  brightest lit area seeks my attention and also the
  foods zone for new foods and/or offers.
• I also look for sale boards and attractive prices and
  also look at others who look for other things
  people are crazy .
• I look how products are arranged and sometimes
  the stores manager taking care of arrangement
  with his/her staff.
• Products near the cash counter are usually a little
  expensive but very tempting and pulls you to buy.
Bill counters
• I never felt any of the stores I have been to
  had a good customers to counters ratio.
• There could be an innovative system of pre-
  billing goods to decrease waiting time
  which is what customers hate.
• Customers hate holding things on their
  hands ( non cart customers) stores have
  nothing special for these customers who
  randomly shop unexpectedly.
Random observations
• One can count the number of trolleys(shopping
  cart) available and number of people actively
  using trolleys and non trolley users.
• I found that in a relatively big supermarket like
  LIDL there are 60 carts and at any given point 15
  are used..Cart management is sometimes a
  challenge for modern store managers sometimes
  threat of being stolen.
• The entrance of modern stores is usually boring to
  make sure its automatic doors but something
  interesting could be done there.
Further
• One could make many more observations if
  one wants to and paying attention to things
  we want to could pay off well .
• Its not just environment, customers and
  products , being creative through paying
  attention
• Should naturally come in a way to things
  we like its not a big thing but could be used
  well if one has it.
Attention
• Paying attention in general could be seen by
  others are very crazy .
• Everybody has some way to be crazy about
  something and its perfectly fine to be so.
• “Be crazy! But learn how to be crazy
  without being the center of attention. Be
  brave enough to live different.”-Paulo
  Coelho
