it is now in cold water. The point is that the same thing-in this instance, room-

Be assured that the nice little weapon of influence provided by the contrast
principle does not go unexploited. The great advantage of this principle is not only
that it works but also that it is virtually undetectable (Tormala 8(: Petty, 2007). Those
who employ it can cash in on its influence without any appearance of having struc-
tured the situation in their favor. Retail clothiers are a good example. Suppose a
man enters a fashionable men's store and says that he wants to buy a three-piece
suit and a sweater. If you were the salesperson, which would you show him first to
make him likely to spend the most money? Clothing stores instruct their sales per-
sonnel to sell the costly item first
