JVC Site on CyberScholar®.com Training Portal Focuses on New Product Launches
CULVER CITY, California, August 29, 2006 – JVC Company of America, a leading developer and manufacturer of audio and video products, tapped top retail marketing solutions agency Creative Channel Services, LLC (CCS) to develop and manage a custom online training site on its products for retailers and retail sales professionals. Launched August 1 on CCS’ CyberScholar®.com, the #1 resource for consumer electronics sales training, the new JVC site provides in-depth product information on the JVC Everio camcorder and other products, and offers prize incentives to industry sales professionals nationwide who complete the training.
“The new JVC training site on CyberScholar.com helps ensure that customers coming into authorized JVC dealers are met by knowledgeable retail salespeople who can speak with confidence about JVC products,” said Andy Restivo, president of CCS. “This will improve each sales associate’s ability to match JVC products with customer needs and enhance the overall shopping experience.”
“Our primary goal in establishing online training with CCS and CyberScholar.com is to make sure that our retail partners always have the most up-to-date information about our product line,” said Karl Bearnarth, Senior VP, Marketing at JVC. “Online training allows us to update training modules within days of new product launches and to have updates available to all of our retailers simultaneously. Although we have just recently launched the program, participation is very strong.”
