Listen "Tweak #107: The Hidden Influence of Sound in Retail"
Episode Synopsis
According to expert Erik Thompson, about half of what we see is what we hear. Things like entrainment (a new term for us!) lead to strategic considerations for your music experience in the bookshop – which in turn lead to connection and sales.
