## What it means for a shop owner

It happens most near the till and at the exit, with small cheap items. Place small items with a good margin there. Do not push things he does not need, or you lose trust.

## A worked example

Gum placed at the till sells 40 packs a day at 1 each, adding 40 of sales with no extra effort.
