Ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον, μάλλον έγκυρο, άρθρο από ένα μπλογκ που καλό είναι να το έχετε στα υπόψη σας.
The Misconception: The low-key songs you hear in department stores are just cheap background music.
The Truth: Muzak is designed to manipulate the shopping habits of consumers.

Douglas Rushkoff wrote a great book about coersion in the marketplace, and in it he says:
“Department-store customers exposed to Muzak shop 18% longer and make 17% more purchases. Grocery shoppers respond best to Muzak that has a slower tempo, making a whopping 38% more purchases when it is employed. Fast-food restaurants use Musak that has a higher number of beats per minute to increase the rate at which a person chews.”
