Accessories that Develop Healthier Lifestyles
Blood pressure and weight management are two important aspects in assisting with heart health.
Omron offers a number of traditional and modern Blood Pressure Monitoring solutions that meet customers where they are. They have Bluetooth options as well as manual solutions with fittings for wrist and upper arm.
Weight loss resolutions are front and center at the beginning of the year, and having a reliable scale is key in hitting those goals. Omron’s selection of Body Scales measure weight, BMI, visceral fat, skeletal muscle, and much more.
One of the easiest ways to start working on fitness regimens is a simple walk. A goal your customers can strive for is 10,000 steps a day, which is more than twice the step count the average American hits on the daily. A simple way to track steps is with a Pedometer. These small, helpful little accessories can keep customers aware of the goal without a lot of technical know-how.
Raise Awareness for Healthier Hearts and Happier Customers
Show your customers how much your care and establish a promotional plan for Heart Health Month. It could be as simple as a few social media posts through the month to having in-store promotions and celebrations to having a designated display in your store with educational material and the Omron accessories they need.
