And don’t forget to ring up customers in time, or they might get impatient and even leave! The more efficient you are, the more customers you’ll get — can you keep up with the chaos?
• Design Your Shop – Organize your shop to be as eye-catching and efficient as possible! Rearrange shelves and products at any time to find the most efficient layout. Design your aisles well to help customers find what they need, and place decorations to entice them to buy a little bit extra.
• Unlock Local Products – Blomkestians don’t take particularly well to newcomers, but there are still quite a few producers and manufacturers left in town. Gain their trust, make trade deals, and sell local goods to make more profit!
• Make Friends – Don’t neglect customer relations! Outside of store hours, you are free to explore the town and get to know its quirky residents. Build relationships with everyone in town and unravel the mystery of Blomkest’s past. Plus, making a few friends can’t be bad for business…
