IN-STORE SALES PROMOTIONS
One of the ways we have discovered to produce a spectacular rise in sales figures even in the

What is a in-store sales promotion ?
Well simply you agree to have a producer of high quality products, which of course suit your
type of outlet, display their goods in your place of business.
You sell the goods using your own staff or ours at your normal mark-up on a sale or return basis.
That’s right, it costs you nothing. We find these sales a great extra money maker.
We only place products we know to be in hot demand with specially selected clients.
