Bling Can Enhance Impulse Buying
Bling Check Out Aisle at Old Navy
Recently we attended a branding webinar hosted by Guy Kawasaki, a top marketing guru. He shared adding bling to a blog will visually attract followers. Great advice, Guy, thanks.
We would add that bling works on just about all branding and marketing because we are such a visually oriented society. When in line to check out at an Old Navy store this past weekend, we had to pass down a long aisle of merchandise before we arrived at the cash register. Talk about bling.
From our picture you can see Minnie Mouse and Marvel Comics on display to entice customers as they wait to make their purchase. This is great example of using bling to enhance impulse buying. It would be interesting to know how many items are sold from this long display of “last chance” merchandise. One thing is sure, Old Navy is using this tactic because it works for them.
If you want to entice more impulse buying, follow the practices of the experts like Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, and even your local grocery store of parading your customers past a display of enticing merchandise. Let us know how it goes.
