CORONA, Calif., May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in the design and development of custom vending machines, kiosks and automated retailing units, announced today that the systems they manufacture for opticwash and jewelrywash were profiled in a recent report by Self Service News.

The magazine's cover story, titled "How Retailers can use Automated Systems to Drive Customers into their Stores," used the opticwash and its sister product, jewelrywash, as examples of how technology is driving sales in retailing.

"If you are a retailer, your biggest challenge is getting people into your store," the article stated. "Retail chains, jewelry stores, and every store in a mall faces this battle on a daily basis."

"There is a new breed of automated, self-service machines that can help drive traffic into stores. These machines offer easy to use, inexpensive yet useful items or services, and are located inside stores," the article stated.

"Consider the jewelrywash, the latest system from opticwash," the magazine wrote. "These machines, when placed in any store, will drive traffic that would not otherwise enter."

The article said that as retailing continues to evolve, and malls and chain stores struggle to attract customers in an ever-increasing age of the Internet, having new tools to capture interest and generate foot traffic is key to survival.

"Installing an Opticwash or jewelrywash gets people into the store environment, where trained salespeople can introduce them to new products, ask about their individual needs, and talk about some special promotions," according to the article.

The jewelrywash system will be featured at the JCK Show – the jewelry industry's premier trade show, May 30-June 2 in Las Vegas.
