What draws you to
a retail space?
KORPI & KORPI
PEORIA, ARIZONA
Certainly not the
typical clothing rack
with a “new arrivals” sign or a set of stack tables
with merchandise piled on top. No, it has to be
some piece of art or artifact that catches my
attention.
For example, I remember when Miraval
Resort & Spa first opened, the retail manager
positioned two museum cases at the entrance
of the retail space with exquisite Native
American pottery which sold for several thousands of dollars, and brilliantly drew me into
the shop to explore. Likewise, many years ago,
we bought a beautiful glass-top pedestal table
and sourced a five-foot-tall statue of a kneeling
woman with outstretched arms holding a silver
plate. We then place three bottles of our private
label spa products on the plate. Instantly, the
sales of these products tripled.
What’s one product you can’t live
without? At [this] stage in [my] life, it [would
be] any product that says “anti-aging” or “agedefying.”
