Retailer Confidence

A shareholder was in a national banner store in Canada today and sent a few pictures when he saw 1000+ in the store.  Thank you.

The pictures illustrate why our future looks good.  We have found that whenever store staff discover our product’s usefulness for themselves, then 1000+ starts gaining a larger footprint, and expands into places within the store where the customers can pick it up as an impulse item.  This migration occurs because the retailer has confidence that their consumer will be getting something that is likely to generate satisfaction.  

In this store for example, did the retailer stop at a single shelf facing in the aisle?  No, we have two.  What about the customer service counter?  1000+ is there in front of the counter (with brochures) for people waiting for service, where it is easy to reach for on impulse.  Alternatively, it’s easy for the consumer to reach when staff have answered a question at their service counter – a question that begins with the words “What do you think I should use for……?”.   When staff can honestly say something like “That’s the one I have at home”, or “A customer told me about how this helped them out last week”, then what is more natural than having 1000+ right there within reach?      Even a wire basket is something that can be filled with 1000+, for a quick reach by the consumer.  Every bit of real estate helps – and we truly appreciate this store’s spirit.

1000+ has what it takes to become a household favourite product. This kind of affirmation from stores who know our product can’t be faked.  It illustrates what is possible for us as we keep growing the base of awareness of 1000+ in our target sectors.

Omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils may also increase inflammation in the tadalafil generic cialis joints by increasing the production of prostaglandins. Of course broader marketing would help, and will occur in due course.  In the meantime, we are dedicated to growing our ties to retailers who are willing to work with us – and that includes some terrific banners now, and increasingly in the USA.  There is no reason to believe that the satisfaction that consumers have in Canada will not be duplicated in America, lifted by a population that is 10 times larger.  What makes 2013 different from all previous years is that we are more likely to have presence in the kind of retailer that has been a platform for the product in Canada – big box store format, not only independents.  Home Depot online customers continue to make purchases that keep us in the top 1/3rd of our category.  Ohio has shown that Lowe’s customers in the USA like 1000+ just as much as Canadians.    Progress of this kind with America’s foremost home improvement banners had to be earned – but we have been doing so.  They see that we are committed, not just a fleeting new idea, here one day, gone the next.  They see that we are willing to work through all the nuts and bolts of internal systems to prove ourselves.  They see that product returns are negligible.  They see that we are passionate and have a clear goal in mind that has big picture possibilities in due course.  There are literally tens of thousands of hardware stores in America that we can grow into, large and small.  I am proud of the quality of our relationships, large and small.
