Seeing a new bussiness fail and wanting to help, What I should do?

I work at a small booth in a shopping mall. Recently another booth opened nearby and it feels like watching the Titanic sink in real time. They set up a skincare booth in a place where there are big cosmetic franchises close by with cheaper products, and on top of that they do not have any marketing that sets them apart or convinces people that their product is better than what those companies sell. From a distance I can see that they have arranged their booth in the worst possible way. People cannot see the products, they have a lot of pretty decoration but it is useless if people do not dare to go inside because the space is tiny and makes them feel pressured to buy. They cannot even see the prices, which is essential so people know whether it fits their budget before stepping in. I am tempted to go and tell them these things because absolutely no one goes in. It makes me feel really bad because you can tell they are trying hard. But I am afraid they might take it the wrong way. They even close on Mondays when Monday is the best day around here for sales. They used to have an employee but now I think the owner is working there alone. Every day they try a new decoration or a new offer but none of it really helps. If you were in that critical situation, would you appreciate that kind of advice or would it upset you?
