On the 20th of September my boyfriend and I were greeted at Topshop Oxford Circus with a key card. Obviously to celebrate the new 2nd menswear floor meant that the key card was given to my boyfriend, all women ignored. On the second floor we found a long queue, leading to what we assumed was the booth for the key card. Two assistants were putting the cards into the futuristic black booth, and a receipt printed out for each card. Although there were holes on the bottom we were unsure if the machine read the holes or was just printed at random.
Gifts included £5 off when you spend £30, £10 vouchers, t-shirts, bags, a cup of coffee from EAT or, the top prize, a £100 gift voucher. My boyfriend, the lucky guy he is, won the top prize.
All in all it was an experience worth queuing for that promoted the store to men, bringing in more customers and providing a better experience.
