Offer Your Customers Accessories For All Their Summer Activities!

The kids might be the ones out of school, but parents are just as excited about the break, and summer is certainly far from over. Many of your customers are probably just now getting around to their planned summer activities. Whether they’re taking road trips with the family, cooling of lakeside with friends, or scuba diving solo, consider stocking an assortment of accessories to help entertain, show off adventures and keep summer fun rolling. Plus, it won’t hurt that they can also help heat up your summer’s bottom line.

For summer road trippers, Wagan Tech’s products are sure to help keep the miles flying by. Everyone knows that the little ones (and even big ones) can get restless if their devices run out of juice. Enter the Quad Power Hub. It features four 2.4Amp USB ports and is attached to a 40-inch DC cable so mom or dad can plug it in the front and let the little ones charge all of their devices in the back simultaneously. For those taking a trip without backseat passengers a Power Inverter would be a good choice it can convert a 12-volt DC to AC power. The best part of a road trip can be the snacks and this 10.5 Liter Personal Thermo-Fridge/Warmer has your customers covered. It connects to the DC port and can cool as low as 32˚ F or can heat up to as high as 140˚ F. It also features two cup holders and a carrying strap.

For lake and beach dwellers an action cam is the perfect accessory to record summer adventures. The Midland XTC280 features full 1080p, includes image stabilization and is simple to use. It includes a waterproof case that is submersible up to 200 feet and can be combined with a Midland XTA113 mount for water sports. The mount attaches to the front of a surfboard, kayak or wakeboard to make sure no water adventure is missed. The Midland XTA105 Goggle Mount attaches to any standard goggle strap—perfect for divers or snorkelers. The Sony HDRAS30VW is another action cam that includes waterproof housing. It also features built-in Wi-Fi and NFC, six video modes, including slow motion, and more.

Whether your customers are entertaining loved ones or lounging in solitude, the right tunes from a Bluetooth® speaker can put everyone in the summer time mood. When listening to music outdoors, the Eton Rugged Rukus Bluetooth® speaker is a great addition because it’s solar powered. The internal lithium battery can even keep the party going up to eight hours after sunset. For those times when you need a little more rugged audio available, Ecoxgear has your customers taken care of with the ECOXBT Bluetooth® Speaker. It’s 100% waterproof, streams music up to 33 feet and floats, making it the perfect poolside accessory.

For those times when your customers think Bluetooth speakers won’t cut it, they might resort to the car radio, which is a great idea until the car battery runs out. Enter the Cobra Select Multi-Purpose JumPack. It’s small enough to keep in a glove box but powerful enough to jumpstart a car battery multiple times.

Lastly, don’t forget about some other summer essentials. Mosquito repellent, like the Bugables stickers, attach to clothing and repel mosquitos, great for hiking, barbecues or the beach. Wasp and hornet traps that use no chemicals or poison are ideal for all that time spent outdoors. When that sun goes down, flashlights and headlamps will be needed, especially for the children. These inexpensive impulse buys are a great way to serve your customers and add profit to a ticket, even if it’s not necessarily in your regular product rotation.

Now’s the time to take advantage of your customers’ summer adventures. Your accessory offerings might even inspire them to take an unplanned midsummer vacation. Warm weather is still with us for a few months and all of these accessories are great to use throughout the year.
