Ask This Question: 'And What are You Giving that Special Woman for Mother's Day?'

NORTHBROOK, Ill. - EntSun -- At GTM Original (GTM), our mission is to protect and empower women by providing them with the education and products needed to carry their personal protection of choice.

This Mother's Day – Do you have what women need?

Claudia Chisholm, GTM's president, shares from her 25 years in retailing: "Mother's Day, being the most important day of the year that solely focuses on women – provides retailers a highly profitable opportunity. Your multiple sale strategy should include training all employees to ask this question at checkout: 'Do you need a gift of a concealed carry purse or bag for a special lady this Mother's Day?' Stand back and watch the lightbulb moments, followed by guilty faces, followed by this response: 'What can you suggest?'"

Women still continue to take action and control to protect themselves at record levels. National Shooting Sports Foundation analytics offers supporting data. In a report published regarding firearms sales in 2021 , it revealed that more than 5.4 million people purchased guns for the first time (more than 30% of overall numbers), and that of these buyers, more than 30% were women. You do the math. For this reason, protection purchases, both lethal and non-lethal, for women, continues to rise as the industry frenzy has softened. It's critical that responsible dealers/retailers educate their customers on what off-body concealed carry options are available to them, the safe – and unsafe – ways to carry and how to draw their firearm or non-lethal weapon, such as pepper spray, under extreme circumstances.
