    Why neck trays work

    • Engagement lift: Mobility cuts wait times and typically yields 2–4× more samples/hour in select tests.[1]

    • Mobility wins: Promoters reach customers in aisles/queues, increasing touchpoints vs fixed counters.

    • Comfort: Adjustable straps and lightweight build keep teams active longer.
