Why Local Store Owners Can't Afford to Skip on Device Protection

September 30, 2023

The Missed Opportunity

Every time a customer walks out of your store without screen protection, you’re not just losing an accessory sale, you’re risking a return, damaging your reputation, and leaving revenue on the table.

For local store owners, especially in mobile retail or device repair - offering reliable screen protection is no longer optional. It’s a profit center.

Why Protection Pays Off

Your customers already expect it. They’ve spent hundreds on a smartphone or tablet, and they don’t want to come back with a cracked screen days later. Offering screen protection at the point of sale does three key things:

  • Increases Average Ticket Size - An easy upsell that can boost profits without extra foot traffic
  • Reduces Returns - Protected screens mean fewer damaged devices and refund requests
  • Builds Trust - Customers feel taken care of when their investment is protected.

Cut-on-Demand = Cash-on-Demand

Traditional tempered glass means guessing the right model, stocking dozens of SKUs, and eating the cost of unsold inventory.

With ProtectionPro’s cut-on-demand system, local store owners can:

  • Protect nearly any device - phones, tablets, wearables, GPS, car navigation screens, and more
  • Eliminate inventory headaches with one film that fits all
  • Offer same day protection for legacy or new release models --over 50,000 device patterns always at your fingertips - always in stock
  • Stand out from online competitors by offering on-the-spot installation
  • Even offer "order online, install in store" options for your ecommerce sites to bring customers into the store --it only takes minutes to install

Smart Stores Sell Protection

The most successful local stores know how to layer value into every sale. Screen protection is one of the easiest and most effective ways to do that. With low cost and high perceived value, it’s a no-brainer add-on that customers appreciate - and pay for.

Don’t Get Left Behind

If you're not offering screen protection, your competitors are, and they're walking away with the profit. With a solution like ProtectionPro, you can turn a small piece of film into a big business win.
