Lucky For Some

Michael Hill Jeweller, East Gardens.  Note the blackboard sign: "It's your lucky day - ask for the manager's price".  So does this mean that if you didn't happen to see the sign, you would end up paying more ?  Why would you do this to your customers ? Why wouldn't you simply say - Managers' Special Pricing in-store ?  It just makes you feel like you could be ripped off even before going into the store.  Lucky for some, unlucky for others.  Perhaps a case of a retailer being too clever for their own good ?

Beige is boring - yawn!

Michael Hill Jeweller, Warringah.  Many jewellers in the mainstream market have very tacky storefronts.  Some have an over-preponderance of black - not a colour you associate with joy or celebration.  So, it is sometimes a tricky task to balance all the cues.  This MH Jeweller store seems to have gone too far the other way - the colours are so bland they say nothing about the brand - except maybe it's 'beige'.  I have no doubt the store is operationally efficient - they are savvy operators.  Maybe they are selling finance ....Hopefully the customers aren't beige as well.
