Interview with Frankie at Holland and Barrett

HELLO!!!

Today we intervied Frankie, an assistant at "Holland & Barrett" health food shop. We asked him some questions about his shop. Rodney took a video and we asked the quetions:
The questions were:
1. What kind of products do you have in your shop?
2. Why do people use these kinds of products?
3. In your shops are there natural products?
4. Which product is the most popular?
5. Do you use these products yourself?
6. Do you give advice to your customers?
7. Which age group buys the most health products?
8. Which is the busiest season?
9. what type of shop is this?
10. Why does it have this name?
11. When did it start?
12. Do you have different manufacturers?

He answered In avery friendly way to the questions and he said very interesting answers.

The answers were:
1. Natural, products, alternative medicine and organic products.
2. People dont' like traditional medicine prefer natural medicine.
3. Fish oil (for joints, eyes, heart).
4. Fish oil (for immunity system circulation).
5. Frankie uses echinacea (herb) because it protected him from coughs and colds and flu.
6. Yes we do. We go on courses to learn about the products.
7. People aged fifty plus (specially products for joints).
8. Winter (joint problems coughs/colds).
9. It's a health food shop.
10. Don't know. possibly people who started the shop.
11. In the 70's.
12. Yes, but mainly our own products.

The interview was very interesting because we learned many things about these products for health and was interesting also to know how works a health food shop. In particular we were surprised that fish oil is the product which is sold the most. People buy it for joints, concentration and the heart. Personally Daniela and I would take these products for example echinacea because it is a natural product and we think that they are more efficient. A lot of natural medicine comes from the past.

See you tomorrow...........

BYE!!!!
