They are very hands-on and that is appreciated.” Dave goes on to say, “We sell more Shifman Mattresses than anything else in our store which gives them the highest GMROI and sales per square foot than any other vendor in our store. We also receive almost 100 % positive feedback from our customers about the Shifman Mattresses. The impact on our business is positive both in sales and customer satisfaction.”
