Customer behaviour
If you have ever been shopping and thought you were getting a bargain simply because the price appeared in red, or have left a shop because the sales assistant talked too much, you’re not alone. In fact, your actions are quite typical, according to experts on customer behaviour.
When it comes to shopping, experts explain that women think about everything much more carefully than men. A recent study showed that when men saw an advertisement with the prices written in red, they believed the shop was offering greater price savings than those printed in black. They felt very positive about buying the product as well.
In contrast, red didn’t have the same effect on female shoppers. It actually made them suspicious. Experts explain that if women see an ad in red, they question what’s happening and think they have to be extra careful. ‘Am I being tricked?’ they will ask themselves. Women also seem to have a much better memory than men when it comes to the prices in advertisements. This could be because men don’t think so hard about adverts or because they just aren’t that interested.
In a separate study, it was found that customers seem to prefer sales people who can correctly read moods. This is news for managers who believe that sales will increase if shop assistants are always happy and friendly to customers. Researchers believe that the findings suggest that customers don’t always want sales staff to be extremely happy and chatty. Instead, we prefer staff who understand body language.
The key to a successful sale, then, is reading the customer’s mood and matching that mood. The experts explain that it isn’t advisable to match the mood of a customer who’s angry; a customer who is in a hurry or in a bad mood would rather deal with a sales person who understands them, can serve them quickly or just leave them alone – and not try to get them to chat about their family.
There are of course some factors which are outside the control of shop owners – like the weather, which can really change people’s moods. Experts are confident that good weather means good news for shop owners. As much as 60–80% of customer decisions are made while people are actually in a shop, rather than before or after their visit. And as more people are out and about during nice weather, there is a higher chance they are shopping and therefore more opportunity for shops to make a sale. Rain and snow have the opposite effect, as people prefer to stay at home.
