Medi Buddy – good counter offer

medi_buddy.JPGThe manager of one of my stores bought the Medi Buddy as a counter offer.  I was surprised, saying that the $12.95 price point and the product itself made it a questionable counter offer.  The five units sold in barely three weeks.  I was wrong.  It is amazing what can work at a counter.  Adding $12.95 to any sale is good for business, especially when the impulse item has a better margin than most products it is purchased with.

The keys to success appear to be: a good holiday offer, good packaging and uncluttered placement at the counter.

Our plan, once we sell out, is to replace this at the counter with something else.
