Super Glue Corp. Unveils Interactive Glue Guide
Pacer Technology has developed the Interactive Glue Guide for the Super Glue Corp., which will help consumers with adhesive-related questions. Super Glue will begin placing the Interactive Glue Guide at retail outlets.
The Interactive Glue Guide engages the consumer to call 866-GLUE-911 or simply send the text message “superglue” to 41411. After answering a series of short questions about the materials to be glued, the Interactive Glue Guide provides the name and picture of the correct adhesive for the project or job.
The Interactive Glue Guide provides an effective solution for retail outlets by creating order and organization in the adhesives category, reducing labor expenses, and increasing sales through satisfied repeat customers. Consumers can use the Interactive Glue Guide from their wireless phone or PDA while they are in the store. Super Glue Corp. will customize each Interactive Glue Guide with 31 adhesive SKUs to satisfy the specific needs of each retailer.
