Jonny Says :: How to Dress


I have a VERY business-minded 10-year-old son named Jonathan. We call him Jonny.


This morning, we were discussing business and how to dress when you work in a retail store. Here are Jonny's thoughts:


1. Book Store :: Dress casual, but neat. This will encourage your customers to relax and read a book. In order to read a book, you first have to buy a book.


2. Bridal Store :: Men should wear tuxes because it will encourage other people to rent them. The customers will know that the store carries tuxes and that they look good on regular people. Ladies should wear dark, simple dresses that are a little "festive". Try to wear the jewelry that you sell at the store.


3. Candy Store :: Wear casual clothes. Candy can get messy sometimes, so don't wear your best clothes.


Jonny's summary :: Advertise your store with what you wear. Always be neat, even if you are casual. If you look messy, people might not want to shop by you.


Stay tuned..."Jonny Says" may become a regular feature on this blog.
