Starting now means you can quickly integrate cutting-edge tools, enhance customer experiences, and build valuable industry connections that will drive your business forward. In retail, timely action is crucial to lead rather than follow the market.
Plus, the price is the lowest price you'll ever be able to join at - as the value of the membership increases, the price will also increase.
If you cancel and rejoin later - you'll potentially be rejoining at a higher price.
If you own or run an independent mattress retail business, we are 99% certain that you will absolutely love the Mattress Retailer Toolkit. However, if for some reason, you're not 100% in love with MRT in any way - there's a super simple process inside the portal to cancel your membership. Please note, there are no refunds for any previously paid membership fees.
Unlike some other services out there, we're not silly enough to think that you're going to stop using any of the content or templates you've downloaded once you cancel.
So, whatever you download during your time as a MRT member - you can keep using perpetually.
Keep in mind though that if you do cancel, you'll lose access to the MRT Portal and so you won't get access to any new content we create.
