Spring 2016 Hardlines Strategies

HARDWARE HOUSE

“The products offer great quality at a tremendous retail value to the consumer. “Blish-Mize is planning tremendous promotions in 2016 to give our customers a great opportunity to refresh their offering of all of the new Hardware House products,” Uhrmacher says. Changes to Hardware House

There are some exciting changes taking place in 2016 with our private label brand, Hardware House. As the company is constantly looking for the best categories of goods, we are delivering a fresh selection of products and a better edit of those products that are most successful. “This change allows us to focus on our strengths and key categories where Hardware House is the leader and primary vendor of choice,” says Jonathan Mize, president and COO for Hardware House. “It also allows us to broaden the selections with new styles and finishes and continue to offer products with improved quality and price.” These changes pave the way for higher standards, better selection and, most importantly, better margins for Blish-Mize customers. The changes are

based on considerable research and customer feedback. “A total revamp of the lighting program and ceiling fan lines will bring a designer’s touch to the line,” says Dennis Bigler, Hardware House merchandise manager. “Our outdoor lighting program is also being broadened. We are introducing more decora- tive bath hardware and more vanities. The line is really moving in a positive direction.” All of these changes will be featured at the Spring Buying Market in the Hardware House Showcase. Builders’ hardware and cleaning products will be discontinued. “Hardware House allows the retailer to make good margins at retail, allowing our customers to compete against big-box retailers,” says Clay Uhrmacher, vice president of sales and marketing at Blish-Mize.
