Transformative Collaborations Fuels Record-Breaking Sales Growth for Batteries Plus FranchiseePartnerships Elevate Customer Experience, Expand Service OfferingsNew Jersey Franchisee’s Store Emerges as Top Repair Destination in Network

SPRINGFIELD, N.J., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Batteries Plus, the world’s leading specialty battery franchise, has achieved remarkable success through strategic partnerships with industry leaders in device protection and insurance.

Enhanced Customer Experience
By combining Batteries Plus’s extensive retail network and repair expertise with advanced mobile device protection programs from industry partners, Batteries Plus stores are equipped to handle subscribers’ phone protection needs, covering lost or damaged devices. This comprehensive approach has paved the way for improved customer satisfaction, ultimately increasing revenue for franchisees and strengthening brand loyalty overall.

“We’re not just fixing phones; we’re creating opportunities for customers to discover additional products and services they didn’t know they needed, from car batteries to key fobs,” Cartagena said. “This has contributed to increased ticket counts and higher margins across our business.”

217.7% increase in device repair sales year-over-year128.6% increase in total business sales year-over-year147.8% increase in average ticket value year-over-year10.6% increase in gross profit year-over-year

The success of these partnerships has led to significant expansion for Cartagena’s store, necessitating the hiring of three additional team members to help manage the increased volume.

“These strategic partnerships have been transformative for our business,” said Cartagena. “We’ve seen a dramatic increase in customer traffic and sales, particularly in our device repair services. These collaborations have not only boosted our bottom line but also enhanced our ability to serve our community with top-notch repair solutions. It’s been great for business, allowing us to expand our team and offer more comprehensive services to our customers.”

Spigen announces the launch of a new case lineup optimized for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, featuring Qi2-compatible cases created with the help of Samsung through their official accessory partnership program.

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Spigen, a leading global provider of mobile device accessories, announced the launch of a new case lineup for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series. Through the Samsung Mobile Accessory Partnership Program, Spigen has worked closely with Samsung to develop a meticulously tested lineup that ensures seamless compatibility and optimal performance with the S25 series.

Qi2 Compatibility: A New Standard

The S25 is one of the first mainstream smartphones to feature Qi2 technology. However, this functionality is not native to the device itself and requires the use of specifically designed Qi2 accessories.

To unlock the full potential of the S25 devices, Spigen has developed a new lineup of Qi2-compatible cases. These cases have been extensively tested hands-on with the S25 devices, making sure users are getting the most that Qi2 has to offer.

Key Highlights of the New Lineup:

Spigen’s lineup for the S25 series boasts a range of unique and protective options, which include:

ZeroOne MagFit and NeoOne MagFit: Fan favorites, known for their distinctive “teardown” design, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of the Galaxy S25.Thin Fit MagFit: Designed for the minimalist, a sleek option provides everyday protection while maintaining an unnoticeable profile.Parallax MagFit: Previously known from Spigen’s sibling company Caseology, making a debut in the lineup with its vibrant splash of color and a mesmerizing geometric pattern.

Revamped MagFit for Galaxy

The implementation of Qi2 into Spigen’s cases further unlocks a new world of functionality through magnetic accessories. Spigen’s popular MagFit collection, an ecosystem originally designed for iPhone, has been refined for Galaxy. Spigen re-engineered several MagFit wallets specifically for Samsung, accounting for the vertical camera bar design.

Spigen’s MagFit for Galaxy lineup offers a diverse range of stylish and functional wallet options. From the sleek Urban Fit to the playful Nano Pop, these wallets accommodate up to 3 cards, featuring easy access slots and a grippy texture on the back to prevent accidental slippage.

Availability

Spigen’s Samsung Galaxy S25 collection is already available on Amazon with more accessories on the way.
