Best Counter Products for a Police Supply Store
Share
Short answer: The best counter products for a police supply store are small, useful items that pair with what customers are already buying and need replacing over time. A vest odor spray fits that description. It pairs with every carrier, belt, and boot you sell, it fits beside the register, and customers come back for it when the bottle runs out. You can apply to carry Arrest My Vest through our wholesale application or by emailing info@arrestmyvest.com.
Why do so many sales stop at the big item?
A customer comes in for a new plate carrier or duty belt, finds the right one, pays, and leaves. The big purchase is done, and so is the visit. Most of the items near a register are either impulse snacks or accessories that last for years, so there is nothing that naturally extends the sale or brings that customer back next month.
What makes an add on item actually sell?
The add ons that move are the ones a customer instantly understands. They solve a problem the customer already has, they connect to what is already in their hands, and they cost little enough that saying yes is easy. Your staff should be able to explain them in one sentence.
Gear odor checks every box. Anyone buying a carrier knows what their last one smelled like after a summer of patrol. When someone at the counter says, “This keeps your new vest from ending up like your old one,” the customer already knows exactly what that means.
How does Arrest My Vest fit at the counter?
Arrest My Vest is a spray made specifically for tactical gear that can’t go in the washing machine, including body armor, carriers, duty belts, helmets, boots, and gloves. It is easy to place and easy to suggest.
- 4 oz sprays are compact enough for a counter or an endcap, and they fit in a duty bag or locker.
- 16 oz sprays pair well with a new vest or carrier purchase.
- Six fragrances, including Unscented, give customers a reason to try a second one.
- Fitness Edition in Clove and Aloe speaks to customers who train in weighted vests.
How does the spray work?
Arrest My Vest is powered by proprietary OAM Technology, short for Odor Absorbing Molecules. It neutralizes odor at the molecular level instead of covering it with fragrance, so the smell does not creep back once the gear warms up. It works instantly on contact, which means a customer can spray their gear and wear it right away. It is nontoxic, free of enzymes, leaves no residue, and is safe for body armor and K9 units.
When does it sell best?
Gear odor is a year round problem, but a few moments stand out for a uniform or tactical store.
- Summer is when sweat and heat make every vest worse.
- Academy graduations bring in new officers buying their first full kit, along with family members looking for gifts.
- The holidays bring spouses, parents, and friends shopping for the officer in their life.
- New gear purchases of any kind are a natural moment to suggest it.
