Roundtable: The Importance of Bicycle Fit in the Current Retail Landscape
Original Event Date: 9/29/21
Independent bike fitters and shop-based fitting programs provide a vital role in the success of the local bike shop in the current retail landscape. Not only can it bring needed additional revenue, but it also improves the overall cycling experience, reduces the risk of injury, and helps add to the customer journey. Join us for an in-depth conversation around the “why” of fit, how to get started, maximize profitability, and create a customer-centric experience. For those already offering fit services and those who do not know where to begin, this conversation is for you. Bring questions and insight to add to this open conversation roundtable event.
