Description

In this episode, Carly and Sherry celebrate 99 episodes by unpacking retail psychology and how small pricing details make a big difference. They break down the power of the 99 effect, charm pricing, and bundling, plus how ambiance — lighting, scent, and music — can instantly influence how customers feel and buy.

Takeaways:

  • Prices ending in 9 can boost sales by up to 20%.

  • Bundling increases perceived value.

  • Lighting, scent, and music shape buying behavior.

  • “Free” offers outperform discounts.

  • Scarcity and color psychology drive urgency.


Retail is both an art and a science — and mastering these small details can create big results.
