Preface
Two sets of my experiences have most influenced this book. First, I spent many years working in the fashion retailing industry, where I observed first-hand the interaction between retail sales personnel and their customers. It was especially interesting to see how appearance played such an important role in these sales encounters. In particular, the age and attractiveness of the customer seemed to play an integral role in the sales persons attitude toward their customers, and vice versa. Of course, during the times of these observations, I did not know how influential these would become. I did know, however, that many times retail sales personnel were treating elderly consumers with less respect than younger consumers.
Upon returning to school at The Ohio State University, Dr. Nancy A. Rudd further introduced me to the concept of our societys attitudes toward the elderly. In an entry-level textiles and clothing class taught by Dr. Rudd, she gave us a short survey to measure our attitudes toward elderly persons. Overall, these attitudes were not positive; in fact, most all students held negative stereotypes about what it meant to be older. Of course, Dr. Rudds ensuing lecture was designed to dispel our stereotypes. This experience, along with my retail experience would later affect the subject of my dissertation research, the study that is the subject of this book.
presents a discussion of the findings from both a theoretical and applied perspective. For persons interested in the practical applications of this study, the latter section should be of particular interest. It is here that the discussion focuses on what retailers can do to best serve elderly consumers.
