Brazilian fashion retailer C&A has an innovative idea.  C&A has found a way to bring customers’ Facebook approval into full view in its real-world stores.  C&A has posted photos of a number of the clothing items it sells on a dedicated Facebook page, where it invites customers to “LIKE” the ones that appeal to them. Special hangers on the racks in its bricks-&-mortar store displays those votes in real time, giving shoppers a clear indication of each item’s online popularity.
 Cloth hangers linked with real-time Likes being given on the Facebook Page !
