Hardware Store Case Study

This was a high volume True Value store that had lost its lease and had to close.  The starting inventory was $180,000 and reported sales ran over $223,000 for a 124% return.  The first day our Pre-Showing produced sales of $34,300!  This was more than three times bigger than the stores biggest day ever.  Plus, 350 people signed up to participate in our customer incentive program that day.  1052 people eventually signed up helping us keep media advertising expenses to $6,000 or 2.6%.  The owner stated that Wingate was the only sales company that would come to the store without charge to explain their services and the costs involved.
