Hold onto your toddlers
If you are passing by La Canada near Habitat and walk past the 2 salespeople selling skincare products. I spent a fun 30 minutes watching them from the balcony and the sales techniques they used. It’s good to learn from pros.
The salesman would get onto his knees and wave a pretty skincare bottle at any straying toddler. The idea was that the toddler would come to him and a young yummy mummy in desperate need of a moisturiser to make her stretch marks disappear would soon come running.
The saleslady didn’t seem to mind whom she sold to. She approached one man in his late 70′s who seemed to have no idea why a Gothic looking young woman was running after him waving skincare products. She developed what we called a Meerkat pose. Hand on hip and the other holding the skincare product. It looked quite non threatening if a little “simples”.
My son offered me a euro to go down the escalators and walk past the salesman so he could have a laugh. I declined, saying that after watching them make no sales for 30 minutes and run quite a distance after anyone with so much as a heartbeat, it didn’t seem fair.
I had also run out of money on Ben and Jerry Strawberry Cheesecake ice-creams.
Had anyone actually bought any cosmetics or skincare products from this booth in La Canada?
Did they wake up 10 years younger or just 10 euros poorer?
