press release pag. 1 | 5 SELLE ROYAL’S SCIENTIA SADDLE RANGE PoS SUCCESS Point-of-sale kits helping dealers explain saddle fit, please customers and get results. Selle Royal’s major saddle range, Scientia, was launched in September 2015. Seven months in sales are strong, the range has been embraced well by media with lots of positive stories and reviews across Europe and further afield, plus it’s even picking up awards from the design community. Selle Royal wanted to gather key, important feedback from their dealers about how the saddles are being received by customers, and particularly about dealers’ experiences when explaining the Scientia concept, the point-of-sale materials, and fitting customers with the right saddle. They spoke to dealers in Europe to understand their early experiences with the Scientia and its PoS materials. Overall, what dealers have reported has been very encouraging. They had a ‘round table’ feedback session with some major German and Netherlands stores, who were amongst the first territories to have the PoS kit. Here’s some of their feedback… What has your experience been with the Selle Royal Scientia range? “Very positive,” says John from Van de Reijt Fiets & Lifestyle. “We’ve always looked closely at riding position, but now we have a tool to support our story. During the sales talk we always ask if the customer is satisfied with the current saddle. In this way we are able to make a switch to sell another Scientia saddle.” “A lot of customers have pain while they ride bikes,” explains the Zimmermann team of Fahrrad Zimmermann GmbH. “So we’ve been excited since we first saw the product, and our customers are, as well. Finally we can specifically advice the customer presenting the right product.” For more information, please visit http://www.selleroyal.com/media-center Selle Royal contact About Selle Royal Monica Savio - Marketing Coordinator [email protected] ph. +39 0444 461100 - mob. +39 335 7603625 Selle Royal SpA Via V.

Our Scientia customers are very satisfied with their purchase,” adding: “It shows that the size of the customer’s bottom tells nothing about the distance between the ischial bones.” How have the point-of-sale materials helped you? “Very much,” says Sander, of Tweewielers Heemstede.

How have the point-of-sale materials helped you? “It is a new concept for many customers, they feel it is a strange step for getting a new saddle,” says Tweewielers Heemstede’s Sander. “They feel that it is some kind of joke. After explaining it and the different steps, customers are at ease and willing to start the measurement.” The Zimmermann team confirms that also in Germany, “The customers see that we seriously consider and understand their problems, and so they were taken in a positive way and actively used in the shop.” The prominent Scientia measuring stool and PoS display at Fahrrad Zimmermann, Munich (Germany) How does displaying all nine Scientia models help clarify the product’s proposition? “This presentation makes it is easier and better for the customer to understand the whole concept,” says Andreas Sander of Biker's Best Fahrradshop.

It’s all smiles in the Selle Royal section at Biker‘’ Best Fahrradshop, Munich (Germany) “We separated the display from the Selle Royal Classic and Comfort range,” explains Fietsklaar.nl’s Tanja and Benno. “The Freedom Gel is the top in number of sales, but this saddle is not suited for every cyclist. Scientia has an answer for every cyclist, something better and different. We emphasize these USPs during our talk with the customer.” “This presentation makes it is easier and better for the customer to understand the whole concept,” says Andreas Sander of Biker's Best Fahrradshop. “The packaging tells the story as well, so the customer is informed in many different ways. Due to the time investment, a maximum of five minutes for explaining the concept and measurement, this is a very successful tool,” says John from Van de Reijt Fiets & Lifestyle. “We are really happy and satisfied with the presentation,” confirms Heinz Zimmermann. “Without it, our good advice for the customers would not work so well.” “It is a really good and professional way to present these products,” finishes Marco Meier, of Fahrrad Meier.

Join the team for expert Scientia fitting at Fahrrad Meier, Erlangen Dechsendorf (Germany) What is your favorite part of the Selle Royal Scientia experience so far? “A nice example was a lady who slipped off her old saddle, however the tip was pointed upwards. When mounting the Scientia saddle, she immediately noticed the tip was pointed downwards. After a test run, both the customer and myself were very surprised that the saddle did support her and she did not slip off. Afterwards, she bought the saddle and still rides on it!” Monica Savio, Selle Royal Marketing, said “We’re delighted to hear this feedback direct from our dealers, and most of all we’re happy to know that their customers – whether they’re new to Selle Royal through the Scientia range – are being served so well, and fitted with the right saddles.” Contributing dealers Selle Royal wishes to thank the teams from the following dealers who contributed to this research: Tanja and Benno, Fietsklaar.nl (Netherlands) John, Van de Reijt Fiets & Lifestyle (Netherlands) Sander, Tweewielers, Heemstede (Netherlands) Andreas Sander, Biker's Best Fahrradshop (Germany) Marco Meier, Fahrrad Meier (Germany) Heinz Zimmermann, Fahrrad Zimmermann GmbH (Germany).
