At least half the battle in retail sales is to get the customer in the door (again). Once there, then selling to them becomes a bit easier, right?
True, that's why businesses use those factors even for products and services that aren't inherently "sexy".

Though I'm not sure if VFTW is making a conscious effort or it's just the by-product of his stream-of-consciousness blogging style these days.
