Who inFlufikace vašich rozhodnutí o nákupu? Vlivy na YouTube, pořady dráhy, Instagram
Jsou připojení prodejních partnerů nápomocné pro vaše nakupování? Ano, zjišťuji, že pokud máte skvělé spojení, kde vaše SA chápe váš styl a to, co se vám líbí, pak je mnohem pravděpodobnější, že pro vás půjdou na pálku, když přijdou „horké“ produkty.
Proč potěšíte nakupování, kromě toho, že získáte něco nového? Mám rád maloobchodní terapii! Mám rád dobré věci jako jemné šperky, značkové tašky, značkové boty, značkové oděvy (pouze proto, že vysoká kvalita je obvykle lepší). V dnešní době jsem mnohem lepší – 10 let zpět bych o sobě určitě přemýšlel o Shopaholic. V těchto dnech přemýšlím o tom, co je nákup, vysoce kvalitní i dlouhověkost, stejně jako domácí úkoly před zavedením do nákupu.
Už jste se někdy cítili, jako byste dostali podřadnou službu v obchodě nebo obchodě kvůli vašemu vzhledu, etnicitě nebo pohlaví? V některých případech – zjistím, že dostanu mnohem lepší služby, pokud mám kosmetiku a dobře se obléknou. V těchto dnech od té doby, co mám skvělé spojení se SA v různých obchodech s návrhářem, obvykle navštěvuji, než půjdu, abych zajistil, že mají čas strávit se mnou.

Skryjete někdy nákupy před značným jiným? Ne, mám prostor pro tašky, kde jsou tašky na výstavě vůbec.
Co je nejbláznivější věc, kterou jste udělali pro zaplacení za tašku? Nemůžu uvěřit žádnému.
Věříte, že váš nákup je někdy problém? Už jste se někdy cítili, jako byste měli těžko s nákupní závislostí? V minulosti ano. Nyní však s věkem mám jasnost a mnohem více sebepoznání.
