Regional retailer Shopko announced this week that it has teamed up with Zip Express Installation to provide its services at select Shopko locations. The services offered include delivery, diagnosis and repair, TV and home theater installation, computer networking and electronics recycling.
"By partnering and offering our services, retailers stand to increase customer retention, extend their positive brand value beyond the store walls, and gain incremental revenue at check out - all the while, stemming unnecessary consumer returns and exchanges from today's technology learning curve," Chris Mauzy, president and CEO of Zip Express Installation, said as part of the announcement.
"Zip Express will now manage these services for select Shopko locations, eliminating the costly overhead and underutilization of labor typically associated with this type of infrastructure, and, most importantly, allow them to compete with the current and massive trend of service-oriented retail that you see retailers running toward in every Sunday circular."
Shopko, based in Wisconsin, operates 136 stores in the Midwest and Mountain west.

Zip Express Installation Partners With Shopko: Fully Comprehensive Line of Consumer Electronic Installation, Furniture Assembly and Store-to-Door Deli
For Immediate Release
"By partnering and offering our services, retailers stand to increase customer retention, extend their positive brand value beyond the store walls, and gain incremental revenue at check out - all the while, stemming unnecessary consumer returns and exchanges from today's technology learning curve," said Chris Mauzy, president and CEO of Zip Express Installation. "Zip Express will now manage these services for select Shopko locations, eliminating the costly overhead and underutilization of labor typically associated with this type of infrastructure, and, most importantly, allow them to compete with the current and massive trend of service-oriented retail that you see retailers running toward in every Sunday circular."
Historically, the inability to properly set up today's technology products is a frequent reason for customer returns. Zip Express offers a "White Glove" professional installation for customers, along with consultation and training, resulting in decreased return rates and a very positive customer experience. Zip Express also provides attractive margins for retailers by offering additional sales revenue incremental to the product at checkout as prices for major electronic products continue to erode.
"Through our partnership with Zip Express, we can now offer our customers a professional store to door delivery and installation solution, high-quality PC services and in-home consultation when consumers purchase Zip Express Services at select Shopko locations," said Mark Simon, Shopko senior buyer. "We're always looking to add value and convenience to our customer experience. Zip Express offers that comprehensive solution for our customer."
Installation appointments can be scheduled immediately after the selected service is purchased from Shopko. Customers can call the toll-free number or visit ZipInstallion.com ('http://www.zipinstallation.com') to schedule the installation for the specific day and hour that is most convenient for them.
Zip Express Installation services can also be purchased separately online at ZipInstallation.com ('http://www.zipinstallation.com'). Installation services start at $99.99. All installation work done by Zip Installation's more than 16,000 CE-certified installers also comes with a two-year warranty.
