While (for the most part) we like to keep a clear countertop here at AREA Play, I sometimes like to strategically place items in this hallowed space to inspire the ever-notorious
"impulse purchase".... Usually I pick something that hasn't yet grabbed the attention of our customers; this week I put a case of the new Rubbabu balls up here and now they're flying!
Another good choice for the "impulse shuffle" might be old favorites that may have been forgotten. For example, the wind-up swimming fish were hiding for the longest time, not one sold in months. We put them up on the counter, they were gone inside of one weekend.
Manipulative? Perhaps. Helpful? Perhaps. Creative and fun commerce? Definitely!
Try it out AREA peeps....
