  • Weather in Canada Right Now

    So the gloominess of Canada is starting now, a lot of people have a problem of it.

    Am basically writing a lot, because I wanna maintain my impressive traffic, lol.

    I'll take a picture of the weather...


    Normally, I wouldn't say anything on it, it's just, it's on a rampant basis that it's gloomy.

    It's amazing where the weather can take people.  I was at a salon in Markham a few weeks back, and even the weather was part of their marketing plan.  The salon ended up having a glass window for outdoor exposure.  Well, whenever the weather would turn cloudy, they would increase the indoor light.  When the sun would come out, the indoor lights would be dim.  At first, I didn't really see its significance, well guess what, :)  By the adjustments, I noticed my mood was always stable.  So there you go, weather of light help business.

    I can actually say a lot about that salon and that particular mall which was in.  I went to have breakfast at their food court with just ordinary food, and the cashier made deals with me, I ended up having exotic drinks for fifty cents of one payment.  I was wondering why she asked me where I was coming from.  And am like, in a sarcastic tone, "Whew, am coming from one hour drive away."  She replied, "We have people coming here farther than that."  The question and response even got me more wondering.  Then I started to notice that may be that was an encouragement to stay longer in the mall.  I think Pacific mall is struggling sales wise.  I know, businesses are struggling sales wise, but am walking around the mall, and revenues are hard on this place, mainly because, there weren't a lot of people visiting.  Again, that was early in the morning, but it's like, after a few hours, more people started walking in into the mall.  But having purchases is hard, I even wonder how cashiers survive there with just minimal visits from potential customers.

    The marketing plan for the stores there are great though, you can have a nice material for a very reasonable price.  In comparison to other stores, same material but very big difference in prices.
