An analytic approach can make a store appear cheap, while a holistic approach can create a more upscale impression.

I recently visited a furniture store where items were simply piled up, making it hard for me to visualize how a room would look. This analytic approach discouraged me from making any purchases.

If the store manager adopted a holistic approach by displaying carefully selected items in themed sections, the store would appear more upscale, and I might be inspired to buy something. (Is this the secret behind the appeal of upscale home decor stores?)
