Dear shop owners, pay attention:

time is money.

A Crash Course on Creativity

Assignment 2

The more time I spend in the mall...

... the more money I spend.

$time = money

So my time is your money.

Shops make us choose a direction...

... so most of the $time in a shop we move clockwise or counter clockwise.

But if I don't enter the store...

... and do my circles at your competition's, then my $time is someone else's $time.

You should invite me to pay you a visit with some signs in front of your shop:

It takes approximately 3 minutes...... until someone of the personnel addresses you and then they spend some $time to help you.

But it takes only a second for a salesperson to smile, with a really good effect. And I think they smile more when rested and paid well.

In the shop it can never go fast enough...... if you ask my boyfriend.

It has been proven that women can shop one hour longer before shopping starts to annoy them. So maybe you could provide some seats for men in your shops.

Sometimes I run out of your low-budget supermarket...... because it smells funny.

Please add some fresh air. Remember that I can survive only 3 minutes without air, but 3 days without water and even 3 weeks without food.

Maybe a window and a plant...... could pass as a not-so-crazy idea. Where room plants feel good, people also do. And they say plants make productivity rise by 12%.

The music does not help...... if it is too loud and of some certain genres.

You might put some kind of jukebox with really nice music in your store.

The more $time I spend searching for and reading price tags...... the less I will spend on trying clothes on or purchasing accessories. Big tags wanted!

Last but not least...... if you spend more $time to add quality to your product, I will probably spend more $time at your store.
