Rigid card counter display Bass strings Holds up to 16 sets 14 Rigid card counter display Guitar strings Holds up to 90 sets ‘ Floor standing display - Approx 1.8m high. Holds up to 36 sets of bass strings and 80 sets of guitar strings One of my frustrations in the 8 years of having a music shop has been the lack of synergy by some suppliers not engaging enough with our business to aid sales and ultimately our survival. By having the Rotosound display we have had many conversations usually starting with ‘I’ve heard of Rotosounds but not tried them yet’, to which we can reply ‘give them a try and they are British too’ knowing full well it will lead to a satisfied customer and repeat sales of the product. The whole thing has been so positive we would like to thank Jason How at Rotosound for his forward looking approach. John Gardonyis, Gardonyis Music, London ’ Rotosound has been a great addition to our shop profile in terms of the strength of the brand and the sell-through we have experienced since taking on the line. It is an easy product to sell, being high quality, UK made and competitively priced, as well as having well designed, eye-catching packaging and Point of Sale material like the string display. We look forward to growing our business with Rotosound now that it has become an established product for us, both in store and online.
