Quote by Herb Sorensen

““The passive retailer views reach as visiting: It’s the shopper’s responsibility to visit a product if they want it. Passive retailers also want to keep shoppers in the store as long as possible, so if products are difficult to find, or inconveniently placed, they reckon they are doing their job well. This attitude, which is locked into so many retailers’ minds, is unhelpful. Supermarkets, for example, usually put the milk at the far corner of the store because they believe it will make people go there. Well, they very possibly won’t. Instead, they may stop at the convenience store or a competitor if it’s easier.””
