When you walk into a store, which
direction do you normally go?
Most people turn right
Drive on the right side of the street
Right handed
Then proceed through the store counterclockwise
Stores often put best selling (and high
profit) items in the right hand sweet spot
Sales can go up by as much as 15% by
moving the cash register from the right
to the left

Most people shop the perimeter
Stores try to lure consumers down the
aisles with end cap displays

Cavernous Stores, Humvee-size carts,
and pillowcase-size produce bags give
the impression that customers are
buying less, but really spending more
