Unique interchangeable home storage system
Scott Brothers , experts in home storage solutions, announces the availability of the Pack-Mate Racor InterChange flexible home storage system.
Scott Brothers is the sole UK distributor of Pack-Mate and has achieved this landmark much earlier than anticipated, within the first two years.
The month-long advertising campaign, which appeared throughout April on ITV2, ITV3, ITV News and Sky Travel, was successful in driving the sales of Pack-Mate through its retailers.
This record has been achieved due to retailers across the country recognising the importance of product quality for sales and business development.
Scott Brothers has persuaded new retailers into the market and converted others, who were selling inferior quality compression bags, to Pack-Mate.
Scott Brothers supports its retailers by providing a merchandising service and engaging in a very active publicity campaign, primarily targeting women's and home interest publications.
Pack-Mate is the world's leading airtight compression bag and can compress clothes, soft toys, sleeping bags etc to a fraction of their original size.
Pack-Mate is an easy-to-use patented bag equipped with an airtight zip and one-way valve system.
Pack-Mate separates and protects contents, offers 100% airtight and waterproof protection, minimizes wrinkles and is re-usable over again.
These features all contribute to the product's high quality, in comparison with sub-standard "me-too" products, which in most cases simply don't work.
Pack-Mate comes in three main types - Household VacuSac, Home and Travel Roll-Bags and Stack and Vac.
Pack-Mate Household VacuSac and Stack and Vac require the use of a vacuum cleaner to remove the air and are ideal for use on bulky items such as duvets.
The Home and Travel Roll-Bag does not require the use of a vacuum cleaner and is perfect for conserving space in suitcases.
Pack-Mate is exclusively distributed in the UK by Scott Brothers and is available at numerous retail outlets throughout the UK including Debenhams, Lakeland, Robert Dyas, Homebase, Dunelm, Harrods, Beatties, Boots, Wilkinson and independent household retailers.
