January 9, 2019  by Laurie Northington in Business Strategy, Industry, Las Vegas, Market   

Sleep Addict includes pillows, mattress protectors, and sheets spanning 3 collections of features and benefits: wellness, luxury, and cooling.

"Sleep Addict is sure to be the next aspirational brand customers will be bragging about to their friends. The brand offers unique imagery and packaging from what's out there in the white goods space as well as features spanning cooling, wellness, and ultimate luxury stories," said Chris Marsh, chief marketing officer.

The company’s new Gift with Purchase (GWP) solutions were created to help retailers close the sale and customers build their perfect bed.

"2019 will be the Year of GWP," said Marsh. "Traditional retailers are not only faced with competitive challenges from expanded online offerings, but also aggressive in store discounts and giveaways. Generating store traffic, driving excitement and having profitable tools to close each retail sale are becoming more difficult. We have come up with some great GWP bundles that address those challenges and help retailers drive higher margin sales."

The GWP bundles available offering 4 options - $200, $300, $400, and $500 values and feature combinations of memory foam pillows, fiber pillows, mattress protectors, comforters, and sheet sets.
