The Nightmare At Retail

It’s the same routine for the holidays every year. You spend months of planning until 4th quarter is here. Will your plans be in place when October arrives? Are you certain you're ready for every Q4 surprise?

How to survive Q4

The doors open up and the customers arrive, ready to purchase their holiday supplies. Your displays are working and perfectly in place. Then suddenly they fail in the holiday race!

Here lies your product demo

On average, 16% of demo units suffer broken parts on a weekly basis. With 84% of shoppers demoing a product before purchasing, you can't afford to have your display down at any time.

Your product is visible in its prime location, but after Black Friday it somehow goes on vacation.

Associates are guessing the specs without training, and customers are leaving without a product’s explaining.

“I need a TV. Here's a sock!”

Did you know that 43.6% of holiday shoppers get their gift inspiration while in the store? By training associates prior to Black Friday, you'll ensure your product is the one that gets recommended first on the retail floor.
