Unique CROSS:SCAN Attributes

Here's what you can't find in any other industry data program:

  1. Fully retailer-driven, retailer-owned, and retail-member directed.
  2. Based on a real retail week: Sunday through Saturday
  3. Quickly and easily identify which products have made significant jumps or declines from the week before. 

  4. Tracks real, actual, Christian-retail sales activity weekly.

  5. Reports broken into six (6) individual categories: books, Bibles, music, video, childrens, software, plus one including all six (6) combined.

  6. If you belong to a purchasing or marketing group, you may also choose to be included in a report that aggregates data for stores in your group, which provides your group with better information to negotiate better terms and relationships with your suppliers.
