Office Club – Video Photo Frame Project

Dealer Group Office Club is supplying its members with free digital photo frames for promoting product videos produced by suppliers to generate additional interest and sales.

“The premise is that many suppliers have products which require demonstrating. These include products which very few, if any, of our members would stock, as well as some more familiar everyday items,” explains Managing Director, Mark Austen. “Participating members will each receive a photo frame, together with a memory stick containing a number of videos, playing on a constant loop. These will be regularly refreshed. We believe showing these videos in stores will create consumer interest, which our Members can turn into sales. The frames can be placed on shelves, with or without sound, in windows or showrooms; or they can be used to train sales office staff – We can even supply the videos for members’ websites!”
