Cash Coupons
Another way to save big while at
the Fall Buying Market is by taking
advantage of the popular Cash
Coupons. These Cash Coupons feature
some of the Buying Market’s most
popular items. With each purchase
you make of these key items, you’ll
be entered into drawings for cash and
other prizes. You can find the coupons
in your online or printed SmartBook.
Additional cash spiffs will be available
on certain coupon items as well.
Participating vendors will pay the cash spiff
when you place your order at their booth.

More Can’t-Miss Areas
In addition to the special deals you’ll find
throughout the market, there are plenty
of other areas you’ll want to make sure
to see. One of these will be the Hardware
House display, which will showcase new
additions to Blish-Mize’s private label line,
including ceiling fans, lighting, vanities and
decorative bath hardware. These products
provide new opportunities for you to
enhance your assortments with high-quality
items that help differentiate your selection
from the competition.
And, if you are on the hunt for even more
new items to bring back to your customers,
make sure you check out the New Items
area, which will be brimming with the latest
additions to Blish-Mize’s offerings.
Shop Smart with
the SmartBook
There’s obviously a lot to see at the
Fall Buying Market, so you want to make
sure you are prepared to get the most out
of your trip. The best way to do this is by
utilizing your customized SmartBook.
The SmartBook, which is available
both in print and online, is created just
for your operation and includes your past
12 months’ history of purchases out of
warehouse, as well as ordering amounts
over the next three months, and the next
six months, to help you better plan your
purchases. SmartBooks will start shipping
Aug. 10. If you haven’t yet registered to
receive yours, do so right away so you can
start planning your market trip.
“If you use the SmartBook ahead of
time to help you plan your purchases,
it will save you time when ordering at
the market, and will give you more
time to see new items, network with
other retailers, and take advantage of
other educational opportunities,” says
Clay Uhrmacher, vice president of sales
and marketing at Blish-Mize.
