The document provides observations from visiting various shops on the same day. It notes things like: - Many women shopped alone and seasonal clothes were prominently displayed. - Perfume smells gave headaches and stores were noisy. Stores generally had a good product selection organized by category and price. - People often read books in stores without buying. Bookstores had a friendly atmosphere and coffee. Sale books were easy to find. - A gem shop felt like a second hand shop with no luxury atmosphere and prices were hard to see. - Food stores prominently displayed bananas despite being in Estonia. Stores had too much space for alcohol. Checkout lines lacked space. - Most shop floors were plain white

An hour a day
Toglebox aims to help people that live alone* watch TV with their friends & family (who live on the other side of the country).
Our premise is that if we can help the average person watch 1-of-their-4 hour TV-watching-habit with a friend or family, they will get the required 'social interaction' to help combat some of the difficulties of living alone.

Stellar organic winery 11.2.09
This document provides a strategy for Stellar Organic Winery to expand into the US market using both online and offline channels. It identifies two key consumer segments - conscious consumers who care about ethics and enthusiasts interested in trying new products. The strategy involves connecting the Stellar brand to human moments through social media while also partnering with distributors and influencers for in-person events. Metrics and tools are proposed to measure the effectiveness of the online and offline efforts at building the brand and engaging consumers.
Observation lab assignment by randie
The document summarizes the author's visits to six different stores on various evenings in late October. At the first store, a used bookstore, the author notes sales promotion banners and placement of items. The second store is a Filipino courier shipping packages to the Philippines for the holidays. The third stop is a fast food restaurant with long lines. The fourth is a convenience store where the author eats. Signage placement is discussed at various stores. The final store is a pharmacy where prescription medications and incidental items are sold.
Observation Lab - Traditional stores vs. Big malls
The document compares and contrasts traditional stores with big box stores or malls. It notes that traditional stores have smaller spaces with lower ceilings, while big box stores are huge with very high ceilings. Traditional stores also have more personalized service while big box stores feel more like supermarkets with many checkout lines and impulse purchase displays. In both cases, the document observes how store layout, product placement, music, and other design elements are used to influence customer behavior and purchases.
Shopping
The document discusses factors that influence the shopping environment both inside and outside of stores. Outside the store, signage and doors impact how welcoming the shop feels. Inside, music, lighting, floor cleanliness, smells, and product placement all shape the atmosphere. Personnel also play a key role through their appearance, knowledge, and interactions with customers. Noticing these subtle details provides insight into how shops create appealing environments and guide shopping behaviors.
Beyond what the eyes can see
The document discusses lessons learned from observing customers in various stores. It notes that mixed smells can cause headaches, older people tend to shop with spouses for companionship, home stores see more couples while technology stores see more men. People are drawn to sale items displayed outside. The longer you stay in a store, the more likely you are to buy something. Stores cater to specific customer groups. Features like lighting, smells, colors and flooring can influence how long customers stay in the store. Shopping is a social and bonding activity as much as an economic one. Certain smells and sounds can trigger memories. Paying attention to your surroundings reveals much about customer behavior.

Observation rocks by Kaoru
Kaoru observed several stores in Japan including supermarkets, a coffee shop, doughnut shop, and drugstore. She used her 5 senses to evaluate the stores. Automatic doors that required pressing a button or doors with handles did not entice her into a store, especially when with a stroller. However, fully automated doors or widely opened doors drew her in as they were stroller friendly. Loud music or pre-recorded messages in stores made her uncomfortable while pleasant background music made her feel at ease. Packaged foods without smells had little impact while mouthwatering food aromas from samples and demonstrations had a big impact on her appetite. She realized there were things like shopping baskets and last-minute items near

- 1. OBSERVATIONS OF THE DAY By Epp Leikop
- 2. Why these places? I decided to take a closer look at the shops that I use most often and usually all inside the same day. So come shopping with me.
- 3. 1. Surprising that most women were shopping alone 2. Seasonal clothes are up front but after that I have no idea why they have placed their products the way they have. 3. I ve always liked that the stores salespeople are normal women just like me. And I like that they are wearing their own clothes.
- 4. 1. The perfume smells give me a headache when I have to stay there for longer time! 2. It is noisy with music and lot of people just talking 3. Very good selection of products with different prices. All the products have been orginized well by subject matter and by price.
- 5. 1. Surprising to me was that so many people just pick up a book, find a nice sofa for sitting and start reading it on the spot. Not sure if they are also going to buy what they read. 2. It is a very friendly place with cozy 3. Very easy to notice where atmosphere and good coffee. the on-sale books are!
- 6. 1. First thing everyone notices about this shop is their strange business hours. For example on workdays they are opened from 12.12 – 19.19. 2. They are dealing with gems but the store feels like a second hand shop. There is no galmour in the shop. 3. It s hard to see prices and sometimes hard to find what you want.
- 7. 1. First thing I see when entering the shop – BANANAS!!! Estonia has nothing to do with bananas but they are the first thing most food stores will present to you. 2. Do we really need all that alcohol? So much space in the store is taken by alcohol shelves. 3. Not enough space for the lines in check-out point.
- 8. * Most shop floors were just ordinary white or ivory tile floors. * Tile floors make a perfect sense in our climate because they are easy to clean. * But they could be more playful: use more colors, make patterns etc.
