Many product panies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and pete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that panies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers39。 purchasing decisions. Nobel Prizewinning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year pared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn39。t. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers39。 purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (氣味) through their heating and airconditioning vents (通風(fēng)口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation. Ever felt frenzied due to a store39。s fastpaced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer39。s choice of music can have a big impact on consumers39。 moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers39。 satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers. Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn39。t your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers39。 experience.

The history of the world is but the biography (傳記) of great men, argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has e to be known as the Great Man Theory of History. This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle39。s theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not. As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you39。ll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I39。ll occasionally read a novel, but I39。ve never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable t
