In a fiercely competitive retail environment, every square inch of counter space should be occupied by products that generate revenue. While your main focus is on the expensive shoes, a brilliant, high-margin slider is being left aside which is the sneaker wipe. It is not just another complimentary product. It is the most intelligent point-of-sale (POS) item in a shoe store.

This article explains how this uncomplicated commodity can cause a tremendous transformation: on the one hand, it raises the sales average, on the other, it builds customer loyalty, and besides it can be a good starting point for a complete shoe care line. An easy way to buy is to get bulk sneaker wipes, which is the secret to making the highest profit.

The Perfect Impulse Buy

Your cash register is the last point where you can influence a customer to buy more than they originally had planned. An impulse buy is a small, useful item that a customer can get easily without much consideration. Sneaker wipes are the best Point-of-Sale (POS) product.

Let me give you the reasons why they are so successful in that place.

Low Cost, High Profit: Retailers can greatly markup their price by buying sneaker wipes in big packs directly from a producer. This way, they can set a low price for buyers while their store gets a good profit. Everybody who has purchased sneakers might want to have this.

People who own shoes made of leather, canvas, and other synthetic materials also encounter the same problems. A scuff or dirt is an immediate issue that wipes solve. Unlike complicated-to-figure-out shoe care kits, the eye of a sneaker wipe is unequivocally obvious. A sneaker wipe is a viable add-on that sales staff can easily suggest without any pushy attitude.

Wipes require much less counter space. A tiny section can have a lot of product units, thus ensuring the area is well utilized.

Strategies for Growth

A single wipe sale is just the start. By implementing a plan, this product becomes a tremendous factor for keeping the customers for a long time and building your brand.

The “Quick Fix” Strategy

Sneaker wipes are created for multiple uses. They are the best solution for travels, office issues, and personal care. Clients will keep them in the car, gym bag, or desk drawer for easy scuff removal.

This frequent use runs out the product fast and creates a natural cycle of buying again and again.

Your store transforms into the secure place for a quick restock. This will lead to more foot traffic and build customer loyalty, for example: one-time shoe buyer becomes a regular customer.

The “Free Gift” Strategy

According to our experience with dozens of shoe brands, one of the best plans is to use wipes as a marketing tool. This is a simple product that becomes a smart marketing tool.

We recommend custom shoe cleaning wipes to be put in a single packet as a Gift With Purchase (GWP). A wipe that has a custom brand on it added to every pair of shoes sold will not only bring success but also will cost you almost nothing.

This will be the first step to introduce your brand’s shoe care line. A good shopping experience with the free wipe will change the consumers into customers for the full promotional sneaker cleaning kits or other care items on their next visit.
