Accessorize the Sale Turn Associates into Fashion Consultants Fashion-conscious shoppers have high expectations for merchandise and for store personnel. In this environment, your associates do more than process transactions. They also serve as trusted advisors. They don t have to know all the answers, but they should be able to find them quickly. During a consultative sale, it s important for associates to have easy access to complete merchandise information, so they can make relevant suggestions for building a complete outfit or choosing the perfect accessory. With Starmount, your associates can make product information from your store systems and the web (including social media conversations) part of the in-store experience, so the shopper can make the right choice boosting their satisfaction with the store visit and improving the potential of each cross-sell/upsell opportunity.
