Thread Name: shopping used to be fun
Subject: RE: shopping used to be fun
My husband listens to ABC Radio when in the car - he's a sales rep so spends a lot of time on the road driving around Sydney. Recently the topic was marketing and how shops present themselves to their particular market. One woman rang and said she shops in the chicky-babe shops because she likes the clothes, but doesn't like the pounding music so she complained to the manager. She was told that the loudness and choice of music is to keep out older shoppers as "it doesn't fit the shop's image to have older women browsing among the racks".
So I don't go to chicky-babe shops.......

Cheers
