In this article it talks about how stores are trying to use music to bring people in to buy more and to stay longer. They have to pick songs that everyone will like and not songs that keep some customers in and drive some of them away. They also pick songs that go good with the season and what they sell in the stores. If they put to much holiday music in, it could drive customers away from hearing it so many times.
How I feel about this is its a good selling strategy but it sounds kind of hard because everyone has there own kind of taste in music. Maybe older people don't like the newer songs out these days or maybe the kids like the newest song yet and hate old ones. Finding a specific song that will keep the most people in seems hard to me. But it does not really affect my life because I don't go shopping that often. I'm the kind who saves his money for important stuff and not waste it on stuff I don't really need.

Good job describing your topic thoroughly. You used good clarification on the topic of the use of music in stores. Keep this up it will help you a lot in writing! One thing I would check is replacing words like "they, thing, etc." Also, check your MLA citations with "Purdue Owl" (it's a website). One question I have is why exactly is music so important in stores (besides the fact people like it and it fits the seasons)? How do store managers find music to fit the style of items they purchase?
ReplyDeleteGood job, Jordan! Just fix those few things and you will be good to go!
Also I would suggest not putting the question and perhaps just saying "in terms of quotations..." or something such as that. Although I find this article very interesting and think you did a great job using your personal views on the topic.
