In my opinion, employees shouldn’t have to buy their own work materials. If certain tools are necessary to do the job, it’s the company’s responsibility to provide them. Asking employees to cover these costs can feel unfair and may show a lack of respect for their time and effort. Supplying proper eRead more

Most times, women’s fashion brings in more money due to wider choices, quicker shifts in what’s popular, while shoppers refill their wardrobes often. Because of this, stores can suggest costlier items, leading to bigger profits per sale. On the flip side, men’s wear stays steadier – styles change less, buying happens at longer gaps, though repeat visits happen less. Success usually comes when blending both, aiming toward one clear group without spreading too thin.

In the sense that when one want to accumulate customers the best way is always to listen to their comments on what you are selling,either a positive comments or a negative ones .
Then secondly try as much as possible to make them understand what you feel about their complaint and promise to work on it.
And when you do this it should be with the best possible manner you can afford.
Also one should also be friendly and approachable to customers as people feel more comfortable in buying good from a smiling and approachable face than unfriendly latter . Which implies that good attitude to customers increase customer base too
