Financial Statements Payroll Sales Tax Avoid retailers' spending schemes I blame my suspicious nature on my neighborhood grocery store. The store used to be a logical- ly arranged market with bright lights and clean floors -- a basic, friendly, functional place to shop. Then the bull- dozers morphed it into a big fancy supermarket complete with mood lighting and cushy chairs. I have nothing against beautiful spaces and modern conveniences, but I'm no fool. I knew all of this effort was to one end: to get me to spend more of my hard-earned money. Take the "Three for $6!" special of the week. Why not just say $2 each and drop the exclamation mark? Before I could wheel away, I had my answer: I saw several customers dutifully place three jars in their carts. Not two, not four, but three jars. That response was no accident. In fact, that's a simple example of how retailers use tricks to persuade con- sumers to buy more. Retailers spend a lot of money hiring experts and researching ways for us to spend more time and money in their stores. Our defense? Educate ourselves. 1. The Tactic: Beautiful Ambience Retailers know that as much as 70 percent of all purchases are unplanned. They want you to linger as long as possible, so they create an atmosphere that's inviting. Outsmart it: Don't browse. True needs are not discovered while standing in a store aisle. 2. The Tactic: Carpeting Have you noticed more stores using carpeting? That's because it can help influence patterns of travel around a store. Carpeting subtly directs you deeper into the store by creating a defined path for you to fol- low. Outsmart it: Create your own path. 3. The Tactic: Sale Research shows that if you touch something, you're more likely to buy it. That's why stuffed animals and candy are within easy reach of chil- dren at the grocery checkout, and soft blankets or cozy sweaters are on low tables at a store's entrance. Outsmart it: Hands off. Don't touch the merchan- dise unless it's something you've planned to buy. 5. The Tactic: Spacious Shopping Carts Mary Hunt Items We get pulled in by the promise of a sale, but often those sale items aren't as desirable as we thought. But we've already mentally decided to buy, so often we buy something else. Out- smart it: Don't fall in love with the sale item until you've seen it. 4. The Tactic: Strategically Placed Merchandise Everyday Cheapskate A cart frees you to touch more things. And more room in the cart means more things to buy. Outsmart it: Forget the cart. 6. The Tactic: Cosmetics Near Shoes Top purchases for female mall shoppers are cosmetics and shoes. Retailers know that while you're waiting to try on shoes, your eyes will wander. While at the cosmetics counter, the more mirrors available the more likely you'll be to buy. Why? Seeing your reflection reminds you just how much you need new lipstick. Outsmart it: Buy the shoes or the lip- stick -- but not both. Bike raffle scheduled at shooting event
