As summer quickly comes to a close, students are hitting the stores for back-to-school supplies. According to the National Retail Federation’s 2010 findings, back-to-school and back-to-college spending is estimated to bring in about $67 billion in sales. This is not the time or place to miss out on your portion of those dollars because your sales staff is unavailable, products are missing from the sales floor, or check-out wait lines are too long. JTECH’s SmartAlert® wireless messaging solution allows you to easily communicate with and mobilize sales or warehouse staff as needed. You can preprogram the system with messages that are relevant and helpful to your specific business and then send that message from any phone to the pagers carried by your staff. This can help you increases efficiency at various locations throughout the store including the fitting rooms, check-out, customer relations desk, gift wrap counter, and many others.

While moms are normally the focus of retail, dads of children in grades kindergarten through 12th are estimated to spend a considerable portion of the back-to-school dollars. Of noteworthy importance, shopping habits show that dads, unlike moms, are less likely to go running all over town to find what they need. For your business, this translates into a one-time opportunity to achieve the highest sales on a single visit, thus upping the importance of staff and product availability at the time of service. By integrating JTECH’s wireless paging system with your selected and preprogrammed messages, you can easily communicate with staff with pagers in order to meet the needs of those shopping dads (and moms too!).
