In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment . Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.

My transportation was unexpectedly smooth and I arrived at themeeting half an hour earlier. I kept my eyes on the restaurant door. Severalcustomers entered, but not my friend. At 6:00 pm, she sent me a text message:“Urgent work to finish. Will be 20 minutes late.”

To myquestion, “You were busy?” he would surprisingly answer, “ No.” Once I askedhim to check the clock in his office, he smiled.
In March 2015, I got permanent residence (居住权) in China.The ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 am at the Public Security Bureau on theSecond Ring Road. I told my driver I had to get there by 8:40 am. “No problem,”he replied. But he thought he had time to drop someone off at the airportbefore picking me up. I desperately waited for him. Then, to rub salt into mywound, he had to stop at the exit of a gas station. Finally, I entered the roomat 9:07 am ── the last guest to arrive!
