At Choices Flooring, we’ve emerged out of this changing landscape with the introduction and development of our store evolution.
Since its introduction in 2012, our member retailers are evolving their stores with introduction of new displays, a streamlined product approach and adoption of in-store technology.
The in-store technology we refer to are the Inspiration Stations and the Digital Point of Sales (POS).
The Inspiration Station has been developed to not only provide value to our consumers while supporting the sales process, but to also actively engage consumers in their journey to find the floor they’ve been searching for.
Many of our member retailers are embracing this change, growing alongside our consumers changing lifestyles to make shopping easier and more convenient.
