FLR 008: Merchandising - How We Are Played in a Grocery Store

Long before you get to the label on a food package to evaluate whether it's good for you or not, there are various influences at play that may be unconsciously directing you to a particular product.  One of those influences is merchandising.  When you're in a grocery store, it's merchandising that tells you, unconsciously, where to go, what to put in your cart, and what to buy.  In other words, merchandising is a masterful application of psychology that subtly and effectively influences your decisions. In this episode, nine techniques of merchandising will be explored and what we can do to minimize their effects. To learn about these techniques, come take a grocery store tour with me.  Show Notes:  To Contact Show:  [email protected] The podcast can besubscribed to at the iTunes store. Search under Food Labels Revealed.
