RETAILOBSERVER.COM JULY 2014 32 WHAT IS AN OUTDOOR APPLIANCE? A few months ago I had the opportunity to visit some execs about new opportunities in our retail segment. The more we talked, the more we realized that "Outdoor Appliances" were a natural extension for many appliance/electronics retailers. As the leader in your community for Home Appliances, you can expand your reach by adding Outdoor Appliances to your product offering. So you ask; what is an Outdoor Appliance? Well, just like the laundry pair, every homeowner has them— the tools used to maintain the outside of their home— a lawnmower, trimmer, blower, garden tiller, lawn edger, pressure washer, or similar product. The process used for selling outdoor appliances is similar to when you sell for inside the home – qualify the customer, help them choose a model that fits their needs, arrange payment, prep and deliver! You have many customers who may only make a purchase from you every 2 or 3 years, so why not open up "your" customer base to additional purchases? Increase your foot traffic and improve counter seasonal revenue. Look at MTD Products – we offer leading brands like Troy-Bilt and Remington. Let us discuss this new opportunity with you. We have details on a wide variety of products, as well as information on additional parts and service opportunities. Commit and begin today: • Extending your customer base • Extending the reach into your community • Diversifying your income base Start selling "Outdoor Appliances" today!
