Samplesapp Streamlines the Sales Journey

JANUARY 27, 2023 – FCW sat down with Carole Cross, founder and CEO of Mobile Marketing LLC, to discuss Samplesapp, “the strongest sales lead a flooring retailer could possibly have,” she said.

And, there is essentially no way to communicate with the consumers about the key features and product benefits of the samples they have taken home with them.
