Success Stories

• “Getting people in our doors is the biggest driver toward sales conversion, along with solid buy-in from sales associates in the knowledge that packet pickup attendees are easy sales for those who know how to ask the right questions. We did a pickup a few weeks ago before a cold snap, and asking every person picking up if they had the right winter gear to deal with a chilly race saw winter apparel disappearing off the racks.”
