Who do I Sell to?

Sell Direct

  • Open your own store and sell directly to the retail buyer.  If you have a store front now, add these products to your product line and expand sales.
  • Don't have a store front?  Establish your self in a local farmers market or other trade event with high foot traffic and high quality products.  Events that operate every week are best. This weekly consistency  builds strong brand identity with the consumer.
  • Can't be at the farmers market every week?  Select popular seasonal trade shows and get the word out with brochures, business cards and web presence
  • If you have a popular drive-by location available, display your products here for great sales and visibility..

Sell Indirect

  • Sell through retail stores such as garden centers, outdoor furniture stores, lumber stores, pool supply stores, craft stores, hardware, and deck supply stores.
  • Ask us how to handle pricing in these locations.

 

Sell Industry Segments

  • Contact companies that work on decks and backyards everyday, give them a commission or develop a marketing relationship.
  • Contact decking companies, landscapers, landscape architects, Real estate companies, and home builders.

Resorts

  • Resort communities are a target rich environment.  Own the market by placing your products in several retail venues in and around resort communities
  • Sell directly to resort establishments;  hotels, golf clubs, boating clubs, RV parks, cabin and tent parks.

Retail Establishments

  • Our distributors have done very well selling to direct retail establishments.  
  • Any business where their customer has time to sit and wait is a good target for our products, restaurants and nursing homes are two good examples.

Internet Sales

  • Sell Kits or sub-assemblies on the web.
  • Use your web site to direct traffic from your eBay, Amazon or Yahoo account.

 

  • We can only be in one place at a time, as you grow you will need help.  You can hire someone to help you assemble product or you can add someone to the sales team.

  • You may want to hire a commission only salesperson in remote locations.  Market reps are a good choice as well as they  handle multiple products and cover larger territories.
