SNEWS® Training Center "How to Sell" articles a resource for year-round retail use

Posted: 12/17/2007 In Category(s): News & Features :: Fitness Headlines, Sales Tools & Advice :: Merchandising Know-How, News & Features :: Outdoor Headlines

This is the time of year not to forget to tap into a wealth of selling information in the SNEWS® Training Center, especially into our two and a half years of concise informational guides for retail staff covering the in’s and out’s of various product categories in our “how to sell” articles.

Of course there are more topics coming. We’ll be adding categories again starting in the New Year. Meanwhile, take the time to peruse our list of current how-to-sell guides. They could help you make that next sale this holiday season.

If there is a category you don’t see and would like to, let us know by dropping a note to snewsbox@snewsnet.com. If you think something is missing or incorrect in one we do have posted, drop us a note, too, please. And, manufacturers, if you would like to get in on sponsoring one of our highly read how-to-sell articles, be in touch. We are beefing out the section and all topics are open for discussion, including a few already listed. 

Outdoor How to Sells:
>> Coming in early 2008: first aid kits, climbing    helmets, water purification
Fitness How to Sells:

>> Coming in early 2008: Recumbent bikes, upright bikes, indoor cycles, pedometers, stability balls, traditional home gyms
