Woolrich, the Original Outdoor Clothing Company®, today announced a partnership with specialty outdoor retailers to create an in-store display program to highlight the Woolrich performance collection, while providing retailers with additional support during tough economic times. Each qualifying retailer will receive an Emotion Glide kayak and paddle to create a unique backdrop for the Woolrich performance product display.
To qualify for the kayak, each retail door must have purchased a minimum amount of merchandise from the Woolrich performance collection. Participating retailers are encouraged to maximize program potential by advertising the kayak and Woolrich performance collection to drive and support in-store traffic.
“We are excited about this partnership with our outdoor specialty stores because it gives us an opportunity to educate consumers on the functional features associated with our performance collection,” said Jerry Rinder, vice president of sales and marketing for Woolrich. “At the same time, it also provides our retailers with a unique opportunity to create an in-store contest or raffle, which we believe will give them a boost during this tough economic climate.”
As part of the program, retailers can use the kayak as a self-liquidating display for either a consumer giveaway or sales associate contest. The display must be activated and in-store during the month of April 2009.
