This is accomplished through utilizing full programs, shopping the competition, developing customized promotions, running van programs, promoting through dealer day programs and road shows, generating dealer interest prior to distributor shows, along with demonstrating products at grand openings and trade shows.

The tools we use are endless. The current market demands creative, innovative sales programs and MBA Marketing delivers.

MARKET TRENDS

WHAT’S AHEAD FOR THE HARDWARE INDUSTRY?

The trends are obvious. The hardware distributor base will continue to consolidate and shrink. Major chains are trying to cut out manufacturer representatives and are moving to national service agencies or performing their own service. Small retail stores are struggling to stay in business. Manufacturers and customers are fighting for valuable market share. With these market changes in mind, manufacturers need qualified sales consultants not just representation.

MBA Marketing recognizes the changes in the industry and works everyday to help our customers navigate through this challenging environment. Our customers know we are professional sales consultants and marketers who operate with the highest degree of integrity. We focus on the long-term — helping our customers grow their business by carrying the right product mix that will deliver solid returns — and not just the next sale.

COMMITMENT TO TECHNOLOGY

Open communication and productivity are key to MBA Marketing’s success. Our team is armed with a host of productivity tools to give each salesperson everything they need at their fingertips. We have instant access to our full line of catalogs, online order forms, factory credit forms, planogram details and other relevant information to answer questions and deliver outstanding customer service whether we are in the office or on the road.
