Store Influences

The many stores that we frequent in our everyday trip to our local mall practically pull us into buying their products. I see many teens going into Abercrombie and Hollister, and although I think that it is quite stereotypical, I find myself going into these stores to shop. When in stores as influential as these, it is the environment that makes me keep coming back. Could it be the blasting music, or the half-dresses manikins, or the overpowering scent of their fragrance as you walk throughout the store? I think it is a combination of both. The ironic thing is that all the people who you see working there look like models, and this says to me that they really want you to buy their entire season line, and that they want you to come back. This could also be a reason why they make their employees spend almost their entire salary on clothes.
Another store that I find myself going back to over and over again is Target. I have gone to so many locations, and still prefer going there rather than going to Wal-Mart. I like the overall atmosphere that the store creates, good prices, samples, and good service. They are not bombarding you with so many services, that are at low prices. They offer the basics, after all, i don't go shopping to get a root canal, or get my eyes checked out, I go there to get my shopping done. This is why I like Target, they are found in almost every location, and are very inviting.
