Retail Sales

Retail products that incorporate packaging and display materials that help sell the products.

  • Dec 01, 2015

As many home medical equipment providers continue to step up their retail efforts, they are finding that merchandising is playing an increasingly important role in their cash sales strategies. They must strive to create a retail showroom that helps do some of the selling for them.

Creating an effective retail space combines a number of factors. For example, stores must be organized and make use of effective signage to help customers navigate to the products they need. The way items are packaged must look every bit as appealing as the way goods are packaged in other, more mainstream retail businesses. The merchandise must displayed in ways that not only attract clients, but also show them how they might use and benefit from those products in their daily lives, and displays that look like actual rooms in a home are a great way to accomplish that.

Above all, the showroom has to focus on product. Providers must showcase an adequate supply of compelling goods that serve the needs of both their existing HME patients and prospective customers who might not be funded, but looking for the kinds of solutions an HME business offers. This can also mean offering up “good, better, best” options to give customers some choice in their decision-making.

Here is a mix of some recent examples of innovative retail products that serve key customers needs, many of which that incorporate packaging and display materials that help sell the products:
