New Marketing Style: Clicks and Mortar - WSJ.com: "Among the new features that stores are trotting out this year to help shoppers decide what to buy: testimonials from other customers.
Taking a page from the e-commerce world, companies including Cabela's and Staples are featuring endorsements from shoppers in their product displays. People who visit one of Cabela's 26 stores can see a sign for a Texsport combination fan and light. The display includes a 'five-star' consumer rating and a July 16 review from AlanK of Kansas City, Mo., who writes: 'As someone who does a lot of summertime tent camping, I can't begin to tell [you] how valuable this little combo is. I hang it over my cot every night and I have a bright reading light and a cool breeze to go with it.'"
