PROVEN WINNERS® DESTINATIONS
How It Works
Jessica DeGraaf, Heather Poire, Amy Howard, and Caitlin Hupp regional account managers for Proven Winners, are ready to meet with you to discuss your goals for your store. They’ll work one-on-one with you to find the most effective place to add a Destination within your existing layout, which is often a low traffic area that needs a boost. Together, you will brainstorm ideas on how to display the product there, and they will help you produce custom signage that matches the look and feel of your store.
Jessica, Heather, Amy, or Caitlin will help connect you with wholesalers who can work with you to stock your new display. Once you are all set up and ready to go, they will join you in kicking your rejuvenated space off with a Proven Winners Day. They’ll work with your staff and customers to get everyone excited about the plants you’re offering. Their passion is growing your success.
