Pump N Pack

Pump N Pack named Retailer-of-the-Week

ST. MARYS -The Ohio Lottery is pleased to recognize Pump N Pack as Retailer-of-the-Week for the week of March 10, 2014. Pump N Pack will be recognized on Cash Explosion® on March 15, 2014.

Pump N Pack uses a variety of techniques when promoting Ohio Lottery sales. At 1115 Celina Road, owners Muhammad Khokhar and Muhammad Saleem use stay and play, suggestive selling, and cash all tickets. Players are even sent to this location to get winning tickets cashed. On a main state route, the owners know the importance of politeness, suggestive selling, a winning smile, customer service, promotion and a congratulation.

Lottery sales rep Denise Dean chose Pump N Pack as this week’s retailer saying Pump N Pack is excited about selling lottery products to customers, every customer is greeted with a smile and pleasant conversation.

Product knowledge is also important. Saleem says how you greet your customers is just as important. He employs new retailers to listen to customers and treat all of them equally, as you make them a friend. Saleem says winning the lottery encourages play because customers are able to increase their pocket change. The business also conducts second-chance drawings. Carrying 44 instant games over the counter, Pump N Pack has a weekly sale average of $8,279 for instant and on-line games.

The Ohio Lottery recognizes one outstanding retail partner who offers courteous service and sales enthusiasm. Retailer-of-the-Week is chosen based on recommendations by their Lottery sales representative and regional sales office staff.
