Francie Vincent – The Good Guys
Owner - Mt. Gravatt StoreFantastic idea and experience! As a kitchen design and cabinet maker we were looking for something to differentiate us and help get customers across the line. We have really increased our conversion, but also have so many compliments from clients about our educational events – the good will is immeasurable.
Anita Banks – Everything Cabinets

Around 57% of attendees are new customers so it’s been great for new customer acquisitions too.
After each event, we receive a detailed report on the event which includes customer feedback. We’re always pleased to see really positive comments from our customers who are looking forward to shopping with us again in the future.” read more
Adrian Mitchell | Chief Marketing Officer from Betta Home LivingSo I’ve just attended the paleo experience at Good Guys, I thought I knew about Paleo, but I learnt so much in that hour presentation. The presenter explained for busy people how to prepare in advance using a slow cooker. So before I left I purchased a larger slow cooker.
