My Recent Stroke of Genius
By businessbroad | March 8, 2009
Recently, I decided to set up an Xbox360 in a corner of my shop. Although most of my customers are older women and mothers, they often bring children who drive them insane while they shop. Do you think women with bratty 8 year olds tugging at their coats like to spend a lot? Of course not. Half of them get fed up and drag their kids out of the store before they get a chance to find anything they want.
Now that I have a gaming system, the kids are silent. It was a little expensive, but it’s been worth every penny, even with the occasional broken game to replace. If you want to do the same, I’d recommend getting an Xbox360 or Playstation 3 - not a Wii. I started with a Wii and the controllers kept going dead or getting un-synced with the system and it took up way too much of my staff’s time.
