2. HEARING. If you need customers to move quickly around the store, play energetic music. If your store sells goods for VIP clients, it is better to play calm lounge music, which will help provide maximum comfort. You can use music to emphasize the peculiarity of your store, for example, if you sell only Ukrainian-made goods, select a musical selection from modern Ukrainian hits.

For example, if you sell clothes in the economy segment to a large flow of customers, make fitting rooms from inexpensive materials such as laminated chipboard and install a hard bench. This way, customers won't spend excessive amounts of time in fitting rooms. But if you have a premium segment store, and it takes a long time to make a decision on a purchase, make the fitting rooms as comfortable as possible: place a soft chair or sofa, decorate them with high-quality expensive materials (stone, wood, metal).
5. TASTE. If you have a grocery store, it will be as simple as possible to engage the human taste organs - offer customers a tasting of your products. And in cases where the area of ​​your store is completely unrelated to products, you can offer drinks or goodies as a compliment from your store.
