Checking His List

Warnings: stalker behaviour and other dark elements. Not all kinks or triggers are tagged. My username actually says you never asked for any of this.

Summary: Your shopping trip turns hectic.

Character: Curtis Everett

Day Twenty-Eight of the December Daze Challenge.

Prompt - the mall is packed and we keep running into each other.

Note: As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging.

While it’s below zero outside, inside the mall, the air is sweltering. The flurry of maddened shoppers searching for gifts churns the air with body heat and a wall of noise. You want to cover your airs and shrink down to nothing. You hate crowds but you have a list and you made a promise. 

You laid it all out meticulously. You have a strategy but you’re not sure how much that will help given the furor all around. You set off to the first store on your list. The toys will be a lovely surprise at the community lunch. You know the kids won’t be getting much at home. 

You squint at the paper. You made notes of Diana’s every specification. She’s very particular but you imagine that’s why she runs the children’s centre. 

You look up as you approach the east entrance of the department store, just in time to avoid another shopper. You stutter step and back up as you wait for the man to pass. You only realise then that he isn’t moving. He’s standing entirely still amidst the crowds, though it might only be because he saw you about to crash into him. 

“Oh, sorry,” you murmur, not sure he can hear you above the Christmas carols and rowdy shoppers. 

He doesn’t reply, doesn’t react. You hesitate and step around him, issuing another apology as your stress burns even hotter. You’re really no good with the general public, worse in peak hours, and you’ve only just gotten started. 

You don’t come here often. It takes you some time to get situated and find the right aisle. Oh, those are the art sets she wanted, and the Barbies. Hum, they don’t have many within budget. Oh, and the little cars. Those are cute. 

You push your cart, only an inch before you rear back, only then seeing the man standing further down the aisle. You’re not sure you need anything else there, still you might like to check if you can limit how many stores you need to run around to.  

The man doesn’t look at you, he doesn’t even really seem to be looking at the shelves. He’s just sort of there. Then, before you can muster an ‘excuse me’ or anything, he turns and marches off. The way he walks is stiff and straight and staunch. 

As you slowly roll forward and refocus on your list, he sticks in your head. Do you know him? There was something familiar about him? Could he be one of the parents from the children’s centre? Would he be here if he was? 

You peruse and find the selection lacking. You head for the checkout and wait patiently. The line zigzags around shelves of more merchandise, shoppers continuing their spending even as they wait to get their grand total. You peer around dully, unseeingly, until a dark spec catches your eye. 

It’s that man again. The same one from the aisle. His face is unreadable. He wears a beanie and a grey jacket that should help him blend in but for whatever reason, he sticks out. 

He’s look at you? Is he? 

You crane to see behind you. The sign calls out the next available till. It’s your turn. You peek back again but the man is gone. You’re paranoid. That's all. 

You go up and unload your cartful and unfold a reuseable bag. You grabbed only your biggest bags for today. You expect it will be an awkward journey home with all this. You pay with the company card Diana lent you and neatly fold away the receipt. 

You’re certain to leave your cart in the pen meant for them and head out the west exit. It’s closer to your next stop. The bath and body store is fragrant, the air so dense with aroma that it makes your head foggy. 

You buy the cute little bottles for kids; the bubble baths and seasonal candy cane scents. A mini scrubbie for each too. As you put it all in the small basket offered to you by an associate, you look up to the tight corner ahead of you. 

A mother and daughter browse the floral assortment of candles and behind them, a man stands, undistracted by the shelves and tables of product. He watches you. Your eyes meet and you wince. It’s him! That’s so strange.  

It’s one thing to keep running into the same person. It happens in a mall, but you haven’t seen him buy one thing. You haven’t even seen him look at a single purchase. 

You turn and curl around the other side of the table of 3 for $15 candles. The checkout line is twice as long as the previous one. As hike up the bags from the department store. Why did you, the only person without a car, offer to do this? Well, for once, you wanted to feel useful. 

You sense movement. A group of girls flutter up behind you, gabbing about if they should get coffee or just go look at shoes next as they get in line behind you. Then another shadow. Darker. Taller. 

The man passes closely and stops right by you. Your heart is racing. It’s not him, it’s the crowd, the smothering press of people looking for soaps and lotions and candle melts. 

He bends and reaches for something on the floor. He brings up the soap bottle with the reindeer antlers and holds it out. It must have slipped out. You accept it from him with a thanks. These baskets aren’t great for the smaller items. 

He’s already walking away before you can get a look at his face. His grey blue eyes are stamped in your mind but the rest of him remains obscure. You shake away the odd encounter and shuffle forward with the line. 

You tuck the smaller bag of soaps and such into one of your bigger bags and continue on once free of the shop. You don’t expect the dollar store to be an easy task, but a necessary one. You need wrap and few smaller stocking stuffers. It won’t be your last stop but it’s closeby and you don’t want to double back if you can help it. 

You pause to check your list as you sidle out of the way of the dollar store entrance. Alright, that, that, that... You lift your head and push the small cart through the first row. It’s nice to have the weight off your arms, but you’ll have to pick all that up again. And more. 

As you come to end of the first aisle, the foot of the cart rams to a halt. You squeak and look up. That man! His hands clamp onto the end of the cart and you blink. 

“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to.” 

He just stares and looks past you. He steps around the cart and as he comes along the side, you shrink down, shying away as you expect the worst. Instead, he inserts himself between you and the cart you hear rolling down after you. He stays there, a barrier between you and the unseen shopper. That’s... strange. 

You scurry on frantically. You’re jittering from it all. The man, the hordes, the assault of lights and noise. You need to get out of her soon. 

You get as much gift wrap and bags as you need and use the self-checkout. You’re grateful for that modern convenience. Your social wick is burning short. 

You park your cart, take your bags, and go. As you emerge into the mall, a man walks full force into you, his wife narrowly missing you with her baby stroller. Neither of them apologise as you struggle not to topple. You lift the bags higher with all your strength and forge forward. 

You go to the end of the bench where a few teen boys sit with their skateboards. You turn your back to them and face the mall map. You take a deep breath and hold it in. You’re about to crack. This was a big mistake. You’re barely strong enough to go get groceries on a given week. You just wanted to help! That’s why you volunteer with the kids, even if you mostly hide in the background. 

Your eyes are glassy as you fight back tears. You release your breath slowly. It hurts. The panic attack needles hotly in your forehead and ears. 

“Scram,” the deep voice cuts through the hubbub and the snap of dry fingers adds the punctuation. 

The boys behind you quiet and you turn your head to watch over your shoulder as they grab their boards and hurry away. The man in the beanie sits, knees wide, and leans his elbows on his legs. He curls his shoulders and looks around like a guard dog. 

Your skin tingles as you sit only a few feet from him. You should go too, before you lose all your nerve. Your bags crinkle as you hook the handles around your hands. 

“You don’t gotta go,” he says. 

You wince and turn to him. He keeps his gaze aimed at the closest store. You peer around. 

“Busy,” he comments. 

“Um, yes it is,” you agree. “Thanks, er, I got more to get.” 

You gulp and turn away. Your bags hit the bench as you flee. That was weird too. Or maybe you’re just unbearably clueless. It seems like he was trying to give you space. That he chased away those boys deliberately. But why? 

Flavoured lip glosses, sparkly nail polishes, socks themed for the most popular kids’ shows... you check the marks off your list in your final haul. Just one more thing. A few of the boys like to play knights but the foam swords are all whittling away from play. 

You go down the next aisle, your cart doing little to part the sea of people. You can see what you need. The toy blades and even a few shields. You try to inch forward as an older man turns to the other shelf, but another woman fills the space before you can. 

You wheel back and wait. You just need to get in and out. The woman finally moves and as you go to roll ahead, another cart noses into yours and squeezes into the space. You sniff and pull back again. 

You stare helplessly. That wasn’t very polite but she doesn’t seem to notice. She takes out her phone and ignores you and the shelves. Is she even looking? 

“Hey,” the gritty voice chills you as a large hand rests on the front of your cart. The man in the beanie steps between you and that woman, “you should apologise.” 

“Huh? What?” She keeps her phone up but you can’t see much else. 

“You hit her with your cart. Say sorry.” 

“Who? What are you talking about?” 

“Apologise,” he peels his hand form the cart and jabs his thumb toward you without looking. 

The woman huffs then leans to see you. You give a hapless shrug. Her eyes scan up the man’s dark jacket and she shifts. 

“I-- I didn’t realise,” she clears her throat. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” 

“Maybe if you cared more about what’s going on than your phone,” the man snarls, looming over her until she backs away. She turns and grabs her cart, nearly hitting another as she rushes away. 

He lets go and turns back, marching past you without a word. You can’t speak either. You’re burnt out. You’re going to get the last of it and go. 

You finally get your turn and grab a couple of swords, each with a different colour handle, and some shields. You put it in your cart and circle the perimeter of the store to avoid the claustrophobic aisles. The checkout line however cannot be avoided. 

You step into the narrow snaking lane where you are to wait your turn. As you lean on your cart, there’s a brush against your back, and another, and another. The garble of voices behind you drone with the rest of the overwhelming noises all around. You sink your head down and cover your ears. You can’t take it anymore. 

You’re jostled again as a man laughs loudly and his elbow jabs your back. You gasp and turn to see what’s going on. A black shape moves decisively from the back of the line, cutting along the edge without falter.  

The man in the beanie steps up and extends his arm between you and the man after you, the one who keeps knocking into you. He pushes him calmly away and inserts himself there, back to you as he crosses his arms and plants his feet wide. 

“Hey, dude, you’re butting--” 

“Pay attention,” the man growls. “You’re being a nuisance.” 

“Dude, I’m waiting--” 

“You’re bothering people. Too loud.” 

“Whatever. You a cop or some shit?” 

The man doesn’t answer. He doesn’t move either. Even as the line ahead of you does. You roll with it and he keeps his barrier in place. You can’t help but be thankful for the unrequested buffer. 

You pay, get your receipt, fill up your last bag, and push your cart into the corral by the door. You’re not going back through the mall.

Before you can back up, another shopper shoulders by and snatches the cart you just disposed. You stagger back and watch, dumbfounded. What is wrong with people? 

Your ears are ringing and your eyes watering, and you didn’t factor in being physically battered by a shopping trip. This time of year is horrid. It’s chaos. People are animals. Just like you always knew. 

Your arms strain as you clutch your bags and make a slow progress through the automatic doors. You just need to get to the bus. You stop just to the left of the doors and try to adjust your grasp. 

Before you can, the weight is lifted and something rough brushes around your fingers. You are too stunned to resist as the bags are unhooked from your hands. You reel around and face the thief. You’re an easy target. 

“Where’s your car?” It’s that man in his beanie, with the grey eyes and the dark stubble. 

“I-- I don’t--- Who are you?” 

“A good samaritan,” he rasps.  

“You don’t have to--” You reach for the bags and he steps out of your reach. “I don’t have a car.” 

He stares at you, “I can walk you.” 

“It’s fine, the bus stop---” you nod towards the street. 

“Bus...” he mutters. “Dangerous. With all this.” 

“It’s fine,” you insist. 

“I have a truck. I’ll drive you.” 

“You don’t-- why?” You sputter. 

He looks around. He’s quiet as his eyes scan the area. “Merry Christmas.” It’s not a very cheery tiding. 

“Oh, but--” 

“Curtis,” he says. 

“What?” 

“So we’re not strangers. I’m Curtis, and you?” 

You heave and give your name. “I really can’t let you do all that--” 

“But I’m going to,” he says and turns away. You have no choice but to follow him. 

“Wait--” 

“I don’t like crowds either,” he intones as you scurry to keep up with him. 

You want to say you don’t think anyone does but you’re still reeling, as much from the hectic experience in the mall as from his sudden act of... kindness? 

He stops behind a slate gray truckbed and slips the bags onto his wrist. He fishes in his pocket and there’s a loud click as it unlocks. He pulls open the back and loads your shopping under the heavy cover. 

“You have a lot of kids?” He wonders. 

You shake your head, “I work at the community centre. Volunteer, actually...” 

He nods and shuts the back of the truck. You wring your hands shakily and stare at the silver lock. You frown and look up at him, finding him staring at you already. 

“You don’t trust me,” he reaches into his jacket and takes out a canister. “Well, if I make a wrong move, press down.” 

He holds out the long black spray can. You shake your head. What is it? 

“Bear mace. You can keep it.” 

You furrow your brow and continue to gape at the inexplicable offer. Why does he have this? 

“Can never be too safe,” he takes your hand and places the can in it. “Make sure those toys get back safe for those kids.” 

You wrap your fingers around the metal and he lets you go. You look down at it then at him again. You’re so confused but too tired to argue. You suppose it is the season for giving, even if he doesn’t seem the festive type. 

“Anywhere else you need to go?” He asks as he takes his keys out. 

You shake your head and back away. He watches you for a moment before he moves himself. He walks up on side of the truck and you the other. The door locks thunk loudly. 

Well, whoever Curtis is, can he be any worse than the general holiday shopper?

Mastering Liquidity Pools on STON.fi: A Beginner’s Guide

Ever walked into a bustling marketplace where every stall has something to offer? That’s how liquidity pools work in the world of DeFi, and on STON.fi, it’s like having access to the VIP section of the market. But before you dive in, let’s break it down in a way that makes sense and feels practical.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to evaluate liquidity pools using three easy-to-grasp ideas: Pool Size (TVL), Earnings (APR), and Activity (Trading Volume). And yes, there’ll be analogies and examples to make it crystal clear!

1. Pool Size (TVL): The Marketplace Crowd

Imagine you’re setting up a stall in a market. The number of shoppers in the market represents TVL (Total Value Locked) in a liquidity pool.

Large Crowd (High TVL):

If the market is packed, your stall gets consistent traffic, but you’re competing with many other vendors. Similarly, pools with high TVL on STON.fi are stable and reliable but might offer lower individual rewards because the profits are shared among many liquidity providers.

Quiet Market (Low TVL):

A smaller crowd might mean less competition, but fewer buyers also means higher risk. Low TVL pools on STON.fi can yield better rewards, but only if the demand holds steady.

Example: Imagine adding $1,000 worth of liquidity to a STON.fi pool with $100K TVL. Your share is 1%. If trading fees generate $10,000 in a month, you’d earn $100.

2. Earnings (APR): Your Paycheck

Think of APR (Annual Percentage Rate) as your potential paycheck for participating in a liquidity pool. It shows how much you could earn over a year.

Sky-High Offers (High APR):

Ever seen a job offering double the industry salary? Tempting, but you’d wonder about the catch. Pools with high APRs can be rewarding but often come with risks like volatile token prices or unstable rewards.

Steady Income (Consistent APR):

A job with a solid, dependable paycheck is always appealing. Pools with moderate, consistent APRs on STON.fi are great for those who prefer long-term stability.

Example: If a pool offers 50% APR and you deposit $1,000, you’d earn $500 in a year—assuming no major changes. But always account for fluctuations in token prices.

3. Activity (Trading Volume): The Busy Stall

Picture your market stall again. The more customers buying and selling, the more profit you make. Trading volume works the same way—it’s the lifeblood of a liquidity pool.

High Volume:

Pools with active trading generate more fees for liquidity providers. On STON.fi, popular pairs like $TON often have high trading volume, meaning more frequent earnings.

Low Volume:

A quiet stall might not bring in much income. Similarly, pools with low trading volume might not generate enough fees to offset risks like impermanent loss.

Example: If a STON.fi pool has $1 million in trades daily and a 0.3% fee, that’s $3,000 in daily rewards for liquidity providers.

Check the STONFI Dex for available pools

Bonus Insights: Things You Must Know

Impermanent Loss:

Ever sold something for less than it’s worth because the market shifted? That’s impermanent loss in a nutshell. It’s the difference between holding your tokens and providing liquidity. Use STON.fi’s tools to estimate this before committing.

Security Matters:

Trust is everything. STON.fi operates on The Open Network (TON) blockchain, ensuring transactions are secure and smart contracts are audited. But always double-check the fine print.

Why STON.fi Stands Out

STON.fi isn’t just another DEX; it’s a powerhouse for DeFi enthusiasts. With its user-friendly interface, real-time analytics, and innovative farm pools, it’s like having a personal trading assistant. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, STON.fi has options that fit your goals.

Your Strategy Matters

Understanding the size, activity, and earnings of a liquidity pool can make or break your DeFi journey. On STON.fi, the tools and opportunities are at your fingertips—use them wisely.

So, ready to set up your stall in the DeFi marketplace? Explore STON.fi today and start making your crypto work for you.

Remember, in DeFi, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s profit.

Smart Shopping Strategies: Electric Kettle and OTG Price Check for Savvy Consumers

In this era where electronic commerce prevails, procuring optimal pricing for domestic appliances such as electric kettles and portable ovens necessitates certain cunning as a consumer. Since quoted figures differ substantially from vendor to vendor, whether online or within traditional retail establishments, making an informed comparison before selecting a product is vital. The author provides suggestions to guide shoppers in exercising astuteness when seeking these popular kitchen tools commonly utilized in Indian households. Adopting such an approach may aid one in acting prudently as a purchaser.

Check Electric Kettle Prices from Multiple Stores

Electric kettles have become a staple in Indian household kitchens for quickly boiling water for tea, coffee, instant noodles and more. Basic electric kettle price with 1-1.5 litre capacity starts from around Rs. 800 and goes up to Rs. 2000 or more for models with temperature control features, keep warm functions, etc.

Instead of buying the first model you see, wise consumers should check prices across major online sites. as well as local appliance stores. Don’t just compare MRPs; look at the best-discounted price offered. This small effort can save you several hundred rupees on the same kettle model. 

Consider Functionality Along with the Price

While electric kettles under Rs. 1000 may seem tempting, they often compromise on safety mechanisms like auto shut-off and overheating protection. Spend a little more for better reliability and energy efficiency. Higher-priced electric kettles also usually come with keep-warm features that keep the water hot for up to 30 minutes. This can be handy when making several cups of beverage.

Evaluate Online Vs Offline Deals  

In general, online prices tend to be lower due to lower overheads. However, watch for occasional sales at local stores that may match or even beat online offers. Consider other factors like convenience, the ability to check products physically before buying, payment modes, delivery charges, etc., impact the overall cost.

Look at OTG Options Carefully

Unlike electric kettles with fairly standard functionality, OTGs can come in many sizes, designs, and feature variants. A basic 12-15 litre OTG price can be between Rs. 3000-4000. Higher capacity 25-30 litre models typically cost Rs. 6000 upwards but are ideal for larger households or those who bake frequently.   

When comparing different OTG models and prices, consider aspects like heating elements (coil vs sheet), temperature range, additional modes like grills, stainless steel cavities, timer functions, etc. All these add functionality that may be worth extra spending over basic models. Leading brands for OTGs include Morphy Richards, Bajaj and Prestige.  

Hunt for OTG Deals Online  

Buying an OTG online allows consumers to easily compare models, prices, and reviews, ensuring they find the perfect appliance for their baking, toasting, and grilling needs with minimal effort. As a relatively new entrant in many Indian homes, OTGs are a product category on which online sites frequently offer discounts and coupons, often with 20-30% off or more. Watch for OTG combo deals, too, e.g., OTG + bakeware kit. Again, check prices across sites to find the best bargain. Offline discounts may be limited for OTGs as they are not a mass market yet.   

Read Reviews Before Deciding

With so many appliance models in the market, customer reviews provide valuable insights that can guide buying decisions. Check reviews on online shopping sites and independent consumer forums to identify recurring issues related to product performance, after-sales service, etc. This can help you zero in on the best-value products.

Avail of Payment & Delivery Incentives  

Many e-commerce platforms offer incentives linked to payment methods or delivery selections to attract online shoppers. Using a certain credit card may get a 10% instant discount, while opting for slower delivery over standard delivery may qualify you for cashback. See if you can utilize such offers to maximize savings on buying an electric kettle online or making an OTG purchase.  

Keep an Eye Out for Sales & Promotions

Shopping festivals are a great time to score attractive deals on kitchen appliances. Brand-specific sales also offer price drops and bundled promotions. Subscribe to online store newsletters so you are updated on upcoming sales events.

To obtain optimal pricing on domestic appliances such as electric kettles and OTG ovens, one must diligently investigate and compare alternatives. Although the most inexpensive option may appear superficially appealing, it proves prudent to make purchases judiciously, factoring in one’s particular usage requirements and financial situation when taking the long view. Allocating additional time to explore product offerings through both online and traditional retail channels can ultimately translate to considerable reductions in expenditure.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞

Big tech companies like Google and Facebook constantly profile their users to sell personalized advertisements and influence decisions using both soft and hard power. Soft power involves subtle methods to convince users to act in ways that benefit the company, while hard power refers to tech companies imposing their will despite resistance (e.g., tracking your location despite opting out). These companies hook users to their apps and services, making it easy to spend hours on platforms like Facebook without intending to.

Google’s AdWords and AdSense initiatives, combined with DoubleClick’s capabilities, initiated the surveillance economy. They enable Google to follow users almost everywhere online, even if they don’t interact with any ads. Tech companies employ various strategies to keep you under constant surveillance, such as:

Data Collection: Google collects and analyzes your search queries, browser history, location data, device information, cookies, email contents, app usage, voice and audio recordings, YouTube history, and social media posts. This data is used to sell personalized ads and is often shared with third-party companies.

Ultrasound Beacons: In a bookstore, music could send ultrasound beacons to your phone, identifying it and tracking your interests and purchases.

Smart Devices: A Samsung smart TV, for instance, is connected to over 700 distinct internet addresses within fifteen minutes of use.

IMSI-Catchers: Also known as stingrays, these fake cell phone towers trick mobile phones into connecting to them.

Wi-Fi Tracking: Stores can identify returning shoppers through their Wi-Fi signals.

To protect children from such surveillance and its potential harms, consider the following steps:

Educate and Communicate: Teach children about online privacy, the dangers of oversharing, and the tactics used by big tech companies.

Use Privacy-Focused Tools: Opt for search engines, browsers, and apps that prioritize privacy, like DuckDuckGo for search and Brave for browsing.

Set Up Parental Controls: Utilize the parental control features available on devices and apps to limit exposure to inappropriate content and track online activity. https://www.kidfirstphone.com/ is the best parental control available for free

Limit Screen Time: Encourage offline activities and set boundaries for online usage to prevent addiction. https://www.kidfirstphone.com/ provides lots of control to reduce screen time.

Regularly Review Privacy Settings: Periodically check and adjust privacy settings on all devices and platforms your child uses.

Monitor and Discuss: Keep an open line of communication with your children about their online experiences and regularly monitor their activity for any signs of trouble.

Implementing these measures can help safeguard children from the invasive practices of big tech companies and promote healthier, safer online habits.

Indoor Signage Strategies for Retail Success

Retail success hinges on creating engaging customer interactions. That begins with strategically-placed signage that draws passersby in for a look around merchandise. Indoor signs provide direction information, promote sales and other events, communicate professionalism and the company culture while communicating the personality and professionalism of your organization. Learn the best strategies for using indoor signs to increase ROI for your business.

Persuasive Sales Signage

Signage is an effective marketing strategy that blends relevance and personalization to create an enhanced customer experience. Signage has the power to attract the interest of captive audiences by appealing to their curiosity — something many other advertising mediums struggle with doing effectively.

Signage must be kept simple and understandable to be effective; signs should be tested by people unfamiliar with its content to make sure it makes sense and doesn’t confuse anyone.

Attractive Design

Attractive design involves striking a balance between form and function, which is especially essential when it comes to your threshold area, which consists of the first space customers step into when entering your store. At this pivotal moment, customers make snap judgements of its layout, colors, lighting fixtures, millwork displays, displays as well as products carts or signage you have placed within this threshold area.

Your retail store window displays can attract customers through the threshold area by highlighting your best products in an eye-catching way, drawing customers in and increasing sales by giving shoppers an opportunity to inspect specific items within context — for instance in living room settings or dressed mannequins. It is important to keep in mind, though, that attractive design cannot please everyone and so many stores focus their visual merchandising only towards specific groups of potential buyers; this principle is known as the “attractiveness principle.”

Accessible Features

Signs that clearly and visibly direct disabled shoppers to employees that can provide portable ramps is often all it takes. Also important are signs that identify the location of ADA bathrooms and exits with Braille or tactile characters to make life easier for these shoppers.

Informational displays are another type of retail signage. Their message must be easily understood so customers can grasp them in seconds — for instance, in a grocery store they could display posters that state “If you enjoyed reading X author, try this book too!” For instance, grocery store signs could state “If you liked reading this book, check out more books by them!”

Effective Messaging

Your signage serves as your 24/7 salesforce, continuously advertising your business around the clock and cost-effectively. Make sure it reflects your branding accurately while complementing interior design for optimal brand reinforcement. Informational signage must be easily understood, standing out from its environment, and drawing passersby’s attention from across your shop or building. It must also stand out against its background to grab passersby’s attention and draw their interest quickly and clearly.

Your signage needs to engage customers and keep them returning for more, something which may not be as straightforward as calculating ROI but remains equally critical to its long-term success. Much like you set standards and expectations for employees’ performance, quality, visibility, messaging and style of signage requires careful thought and consideration if you want it to bring return and improve the shopper experience. By following best practices you can increase both ROI on signage while simultaneously providing customers with a pleasant shopping experience.

The Future of Geofencing Marketing – How It Works and Why Businesses Need It

What Is Geofencing Marketing?

Geofencing marketing is a location-based advertising technique that allows businesses to define a virtual boundary (geofence) around a specific geographic area. When potential customers enter or exit this boundary, they receive personalized ads, push notifications, SMS alerts, or promotions on their mobile devices.

This strategy helps businesses target high-intent customers in real time, increasing foot traffic, engagement, and conversions.

To understand how location-based marketing is shaping the future of advertising, check out this Forbes article.

How Does Geofencing Marketing Work?

Define a Virtual Geofence – Businesses create a customized radius around a store, competitor’s location, event venue, or any high-traffic area.

Detect Mobile Users – The system identifies potential customers who enter or exit the geofenced zone using GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular data.

Trigger Personalized Ads – When a customer enters the geofence, they receive a push notification, text message, or targeted ad on their device.

Encourage Immediate Engagement – The message includes an offer or incentive that encourages customers to visit the store or make a purchase.

Track User Behavior & Optimize Ads – Businesses analyze foot traffic, engagement, and conversion rates to improve future campaigns.

Why Businesses Need Geofencing Marketing

✔ Targets the Right Audience – Ads only reach customers in proximity, ensuring higher conversion rates. ✔ Enhances Brand Awareness – Even if users don’t act immediately, they become aware of your business. ✔ Increases Foot Traffic & Sales – Customers receive real-time offers, leading to instant engagement. ✔ Reduces Wasted Ad Spend – Instead of targeting a broad audience, businesses focus on high-intent customers.

Industries That Benefit from Geofencing Marketing

Retail Stores & Shopping Centers – Offer exclusive in-store discounts to nearby shoppers. Restaurants & Coffee Shops – Attract nearby customers with special dining promotions. Event Marketing – Engage attendees with VIP offers and location-based promotions. Healthcare & Wellness Centers – Send appointment reminders and exclusive wellness tips.

Shopify Marketing Tips to Help You Reach Your Conversion Goals | Liveblack

You can improve your online sales by drawing attention to these key factors — boost conversion rate and increase traffic to your website. Many marketers prioritize social media marketing and email marketing to grow conversion rates. However, to increase conversion rate, a great way to drive sales to your website is to grow average conversion rates by converting visitors into customers.

As you plan to get more traffic and execute well-planned strategies, your business is getting more visitors than you expected. But when you check your sales, you will be surprised to see the number of sales. If the number of sales is not as of visitors visiting your website, you have to work on your strategy.

The average conversion rate is between 2.5% to 3%. However, it varies from industry to industry. Are you thinking of boosting conversions? The simple formula is to gather data and use that information to generate ideas that can improve your conversion and meet your goals.

The more you increase conversion rates, the more revenue you generate. Find the best ways to gather information and gather important data that will help you achieve your goal.

Let’s discuss the important points for optimizing conversion rates.

Talk to your customers.

Instead of assuming the pain points and increasing conversion rates through any quantitative data, ask your customers directly. Take a formal interview of your customers by asking them questions like why they buy this particular product. Which feature of the product they like the most? Have they faced any problems while buying or using the product? Etc. These are some questions that can help you review your product or service.

Questions like this haven’t been answered by any technical tools. Getting the answer for the insights you are seeing lies in such questions.

Identify your website’s goals.

It’s difficult to know if your conversion rate is improving or not if you are not tracking and measuring your success. First, decide what you want your customers to do on your site and then what you want to count as a conversion.

Be reasonable while setting your goals. Check how many conversions you got in the past months and set your new or updated goals according to that. Once you’ve set your goals, check on them for how they perform through site analytics.

Make it easy for your customers for what they are searching for.

No one wants to spend time searching for what they want. If they are interested in buying something they’ll go to the search bar and directly search for the product they want to purchase. On the other hand, those who are just scrolling through the website may leave your website without any purchase.

Add an easy-to-use search bar to your site that will help people buy your products without any hassle. This way you can boost conversion rates. You can experiment with different engaging and interesting features that provide relevant results to the shoppers.

Having a live chat feature is a boon.

Yes, implementing a live chat feature is a boon to your website. Having a real person or a live chat boat to talk with your customers can help them get what they want. With this feature, you can provide information or direct them towards what they are searching for.

This way you can keep them on your site to search for more or buy anything they want.

Testimonials & reviews complete your website.

Testimonials and reviews are social proofs that give people a reason to trust your brand. Seeing that your past customers had a good experience with you, will assure first-time buyers that your brand is trustworthy to buy from.

You can put product or service-relevant reviews, share video reviews, or create a whole section dedicated to the customers’ reviews that will be easier for first-time purchasers to read and decide.

Abandon cart emails also increase conversion rates.

How? Let’s check. Many shoppers leave carts abandoned before they checkout. This shows they have an interest in those products but haven’t completed the purchasing process.

You can send abandoned card emails to remind them that they like particular products and encourage them to visit your website for those products. Through this, you can increase the chances of conversion by offering them special discounts or any other offer.

Make sure your checkout forms are short and simple.

You need to look out for checkout forms that are not designed with too many fields. As people are not fond of filling out long forms, they will leave your site if you ask for too much information from them. Keep your form as simple as possible and ask for only necessary information like name, address, etc.

A/B testing can help you enhance the buyer’s journey.

You can consider this point a part of a conversion rate optimization strategy. Check out where there are conflicts in the website and try to experiment with something new that helps you boost conversion rates.

You can add photos of products with a tool of 360-degree photos that make them see the product overall. Experiment with CTAs, and change the copy, color, and placement to check whether it works the way you think or not.

Conversion rate optimization strategy for business helps you achieve your goals. Boosting conversion by focusing on changing the way you attract customers and making sure the steps you are taking forward will let you fulfill the targets.

We are a full-stack digital marketing agency and we know how to do Shopify conversion rate optimization strategically. We have a team of experienced and expert people who have ideas and techniques to help your business boost conversion rates.

The Changing Face of Retail: How Online and Offline Worlds are Merging

The retail industry is one of the most dynamic sectors, constantly evolving to meet consumer demands and adapt to technological advancements. Over the past few decades, there has been a notable shift in the way we shop, with the blending of online and offline experiences creating a new era of retail. This article explores how retail has changed over time and how businesses are now merging the physical and digital shopping worlds to offer customers a seamless and convenient experience.

The Rise of Shopping Malls: A Game-Changer in Retail

In the 20th century, the concept of the shopping mall changed the retail landscape forever. The history of malls dates back to the mid-1900s when malls began to appear in suburban areas, offering a new way to shop. Before malls, consumers would typically visit independent stores scattered across town. But shopping malls provided everything in one location, combining retail, entertainment, and dining into a single destination.

The history of shopping centers shows how these sprawling complexes became integral to the fabric of suburban life, offering a variety of shops and services under one roof. Over time, malls evolved to include cinemas, food courts, and even indoor amusement parks, turning them into community hubs for shopping and entertainment. This evolution laid the groundwork for the history of shoppingmall and set the stage for modern retail experiences.

The Digital Disruption: E-Commerce Takes Over

While malls flourished in the 20th century, the rise of the internet and e-commerce in the late 1990s changed how people shopped. The history of the mall had long been a symbol of convenience, but the convenience of shopping from home soon proved irresistible. E-commerce giants like Amazon, eBay, and others revolutionized retail by offering consumers the ability to shop anytime, anywhere, without leaving their homes.

The history of the shopping mall now faces competition from digital platforms, as e-commerce provides a faster, more flexible shopping experience. Traditional stores struggled to keep up with the shift to online shopping, leading many to rethink their strategies and adapt to the digital age.

The Birth of Omnichannel Retail: A Blend of Both Worlds

With the rise of e-commerce, traditional brick-and-mortar retailers recognized the need to innovate in order to stay relevant. This gave rise to omnichannel retail, a strategy that combines the best aspects of online and offline shopping to create a seamless, unified experience for consumers.

Omnichannel retail allows customers to shop both online and in-store, offering flexibility and convenience. For example, consumers can research products online, check their availability in nearby stores, and either pick up their purchase in person or have it delivered. This approach provides a personalized experience that meets the growing demand for convenience.

This convergence of digital and physical shopping is essential for modern retail. As malls history continues to evolve, the role of physical stores in an omnichannel world has shifted from being just a place to shop to a place to engage with brands, try products, and experience new technologies.

The Influence of the First Department Store on Retail Evolution

The transformation of shopping malls wouldn't have been possible without the first department store. The department store, introduced in the 19th century, consolidated a wide range of products into a single location. This allowed shoppers to purchase clothing, home goods, and other products all under one roof, making shopping more efficient.

The shopping mall history was significantly influenced by department stores, as malls adopted the same model of offering diverse retail options in one place. Today, many department stores continue to be anchor tenants in malls, driving foot traffic and maintaining their relevance in the evolving retail landscape.

Technology’s Impact on the Future of Retail

As we move further into the 21st century, technology continues to drive retail innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) are all playing a role in reshaping the way consumers shop. For example, AR allows shoppers to try on clothes virtually or visualize how products will look in their homes before purchasing. AI, on the other hand, powers personalized recommendations and helps brands understand consumer preferences.

Furthermore, technology is enhancing the in-store experience as well. Retailers are using smart kiosks, self-checkout systems, and interactive displays to make shopping more efficient and enjoyable. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more seamless and immersive shopping experiences in both digital and physical stores.

The Future of Retail: A Unified Experience

Looking ahead, retail is likely to become more unified, with physical and digital shopping experiences seamlessly integrated. Customers will have the option to shop in the way that works best for them—whether that's browsing online, shopping in a store, or using a mobile app. Retailers who can successfully merge these experiences will be better positioned to meet the needs of today’s tech-savvy, convenience-driven consumers.

As we look at the malls history and the rise of e-commerce, it’s clear that the future of retail will be about flexibility, personalization, and a seamless connection between online and offline worlds. With omnichannel strategies and advanced technologies, retail is entering a new phase where the customer experience is at the forefront.

Conclusion

The retail industry has undergone significant changes over the years, and the journey from traditional shopping malls to e-commerce has been one of innovation and adaptation. The history of shopping malls and the emergence of omnichannel retail have paved the way for a new era of shopping, where convenience and flexibility are key. As technology continues to advance, the future of retail will continue to blur the lines between online and offline shopping, providing customers with an experience that is personalized, efficient, and enjoyable.
