Marketing
Italian term or phrase: punti vendita
I have a bit pf a problem with this little phrase... I wanted to translate it as simply "stores", however, later on in the paragraph the same phrase is used to describe various sales locations - cafes, restaurants, etc. So...
I'd love to hear your opions.
Should I use "sales locations"?... "sales outlets"?
As usual, any suggestions are grealty appreciated.
