What's On The Bed

 

Serta and nVision-Marketing Offer a Full-line of

Top of Bed Products to Mattress Dealers

 

Mattress/bedding dealers are catching on. They’ve just sold a $1200, $1800 or even $2400 premium or ultra-premium mattress set to a discerning customer making sure they have addressed her lifestyle, fashion, health and comfort needs, and she is about to leave the store and begin her search for sheets, pillows, comforters and other top of bed products. The question that has finally begun to dawn on these bedding dealers, is, “Why is this customer leaving the store to make these higher margin fashion purchases worth several hundred dollars or more” , and why isn’t the mattress dealer carrying a full line of top of bed products to close the sale on these items following the sale of a sleep set? After-all when you think about it, it is a built in sales opportunity.


This pent up demand for a higher margin, added-value sale is exactly the reason why Serta® International and Serta licensee nVision-Marketing have teamed up to offer a full line Serta branded bedding products including: Serta® Perfect Sleeper® Sheet Sets, Serta Perfect Sleeper Natural Fill and Down Alternative Pillows as well as the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress defender Plus (Water Proof Mattress Protector).


“We have created a new customer-satisfaction and income producing opportunity for mattress and bedding dealers,” says Serta licensee and nVision-Marketing President Randy Spence. By combining the recognition and reputation of a leading national mattress brand with the in-depth product knowledge and experience that Mr. Spence brings to the table, the new Serta line offers mattress dealers the unique opportunity to not only have added sales, but to bring consumers back into the mattress shop or gallery for repeat top of bed sales. Spence who was formerly President of Spring industries, Basic Bedding Division notes that, “For mattress dealers, there is a natural synergy between the core mattress business and the bedding products we are offering here.

 

What an excellent way to not only add sales dollars but to further build store and Serta brand loyalty as well as repeat business by selling sheets, pillows and mattress protectors to the customer who just bought a mattress.” Spence says that mattress dealers can only benefit if customers come to have brand awareness and loyalty for top-of-bed products that bring the customer back to the store for something other than the core mattress business. Spence further notes that the new Serta line offers the right product mix, strong merchandising displays and literature, and margins that are excellent.


The full Serta line includes: Serta Perfect Sleeper 250 thread count sheet sets featuring a Cotton-Rich blend with extra deep fitted sheets for all five standard size beds (twin, full, queen, king and California king); Serta Perfect Sleeper 400 thread count sheet set of 100% Egyptian Cotton Sateen Weave with extra deep fitted sheets for queen king and California king beds; The Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress Defender Plus Waterproof, anti-microbial , breathable, mattress protector; and a choice of the Serta Perfect Sleeper Natural fill feather and down or Down Alternative hypoallergenic Pillows. Spence says that the entire program makes top-of-bed products easy to sell with qualifying dealers eligible for display racks and signage as well as literature and POP materials.
