A Deep Dive into the Skincare Phenomenon Among Teens

Join Bob Phibbs, a.k.a. the Retail Doc, as he shares his valuable insights on how to boost retail sales by effectively utilizing add-on strategies. Having helped retailers amass millions in sales worldwide, Bob discusses the importance and practicality of add-ons - items suggested for purchase in addition to an initial acquisition.
In this instructive episode, Bob demonstrates how a simple item like a hair massager can be the perfect add-on. Priced at just $5, it's an easy and affordable option for customers, particularly those in a salon setting. Bob emphasizes the value of starting with small, easily comprehensible add-ons before gradually introducing more complex options such as service contracts.
Framing add-ons as an opportunity rather than an imposition is key, suggests Bob. Drawing from his experience in the shoe care industry, he offers anecdotes of how small incentive schemes motivated employees to promote add-ons. Training your staff to see the value in add-ons, understand their benefits, and communicate these effectively to the customers, could enhance the shopping experience and improve sales performance.
