Saw a post today about a girl being a “pet psychic” who is apparently super successful. Wondered what other examples are out there.

    Not totally dumb but just weird to me. Mattress By Appointment. The fact that they’re typically in retail shopping centers but they’re “by appointment” so they’re always closed. Paying rent in an retail space to be closed the majority of the time seems odd. But the profit margins must be decent enough to support the business model.

      They only close a few months per year to become halloween stores, only to become matress stores again.

      They are paying rent on a big billboard and sending a salesmen to an “appointment” with you. This means they don’t have to pay sales people to be there all day and it puts a lot of pressure on the buyer since they are in a one on one meeting with the sales person. Those kind of mental games actually work or they wouldn’t be used.
