Are Grimy Floors Costing Your Business?
If you were to ask a customer what makes for a fun, relaxing shopping experience, she might mention a wide selection, friendly staff, or low prices for her favorite merchandise. However, one of the most important and least well-recognized aspects of how favorably a customer views a store is rooted in how clean it looks and smells.
A recent study from the marketing firm Interactions showed:

- 18% would not visit that store again unless they had no choice
- 52% of customers would shop in that store, but the lack of cleanliness would affect their shopping decisions
