Happy Retailing,
F
or more than fifty years, people have read The Retail Observer in its various
forms and have enjoyed the articles, called friends to discuss their picture in
the magazine or just caught up on the newest products or events of the
latest tradeshow. After speaking with many of our readers all over the country, we
are now searching for more manufacturers, distributors and associations that offer
a wide array of products and services to fulfill the needs of the independent dealer
in multiple areas of their business. These connections include installation
companies, plumbing, consumer electronics manufacturers, parts suppliers,
advertising agencies, display and design firms, promotional products, furniture &
mattresses, accessories and décor, and lighting — the list goes on and on.
We know that your time is valuable, and our aim is to help you find what you are
looking for to build, run and grow your business today and into the future.
We are currently studying the plumbing and internet products and solutions
categories to aid you in the new Digital Revolution. We are looking to highlight
these products in the near future to help keep you abreast of this rapidly growing
marketing category, as well as many others.
We are also joining with additional associations to bring you their news and
inform you of the benefits you will find in their networks. From plumbing and
lighting to Smart technologies and living in place, we are looking at what you sell
today and what products you can add to your line cards to aid in increasing your
traffic flow, and of course, your bottom line.
We have seen numerous products and services at the various trade shows and
buy fairs that we feel would be a great benefit to many of you. As we broaden our
market for you, we would appreciate your vauable feedback. After all, this magazine
is for you, the Independent Retailer, and we truly appreciate your input. If you feel
you have a service to offer, know someone that would benefit by being part of
what we do or are looking for something special, we are here for you. Please don't
hesitate to email me with your thoughts.

WE GET IT FOR YOU?
