Household appliance stores are currently facing a decline in sales. The main reason is showrooming – a customer behavior when shoppers visit physical stores to explore the assortment, get professional consultations, and test appliances, but eventually purchase online at a lower price.
How appliance stores compete with online shopping
To stay competitive, retailers need to create the right conditions for effective in-store sales. This includes:
- professional sales managers with excellent product knowledge;
- clear and engaging POS materials highlighting product features and benefits;
- effective sales boosters that motivate customers to buy directly in the store.

Food and drink replicas are among the most popular sales boosters in Japan – the global leader in the production of household and kitchen appliances. This marketing tool has already proven its efficiency in supermarkets and restaurants, and now it is successfully used in household appliance advertising.
