Episys Drives Signage at Pro Golf Shop
Episys has supplied its market leading solution “Single User Design Studio” to Windmill Hill Pro Golf Shop for all its in-store signage requirements, from price labels to promotional signs.
(PRWEB) May 27, 2005
With product information playing a critical role in every sale at Windmill Hill Pro Golf Shop, the company is using Design Studio to create signage with product information, including product images and manufacturers logos, and clear pricing. Once a template has been designed it can be used for as many products as required without further effort. This template based approach makes it easy to generate signage for special promotions or events.
“The Golf Shop should provide a substantial part of the Pro’s income stream” says Colin Clingan, P. G.A Member and Lecturer in Business Studies at the P. G.A Training Academy.
“Like any small business Golf Professionals have to understand that the market is constantly changing and only by providing the shopping experience the customer has come to expect can we grow our business – an important part of this attraction is via informative signage within our shop. As it says in the P. G.A Training Manual ‘a business with no signs is the sign of no business’ ”
“Running a busy shop is a full time task without having to look after changing the signage based on new products or price changes” said Shop Manager Sandie Robertson, “And as of now all signage is through Design Studio. In other words – it is an indispensable member of our small business team.”
“As well as giving the shop a professional image the new signage must increase business and has certainly been a hit with customers. We can now compete against even the largest retailers in terms of our signage system,” added Colin.
Peter Lewis, Director of Marketing at Episys said, “We are delighted to be working with Colin and Sandie. They have demonstrated the ease of use and benefit of our solutions. There are many specialist retailers, such as a golf shop, that require professional signage to stay competitive against larger retail outlets.”
