Lawn & garden: bird goods fly off dealer shelves
Article Abstract:
Hardware Wholesalers dealers can increase their profits with the Wild Bird Center power marketing program including bird feeders, bird houses, and bird-related accessories. Hardware stores such as Hingham, MA-based Walsh and Packard and Hudsonville, MI-based Gemmons Hardware are offering woodpecker feeders, purple martin and wren houses, and blue bird boxes to customers who prefer small birds over chemicals as a means of insect control. Friendswood Ace Hardware is offering red cedar bat houses to customers who use bats to repel mosquitoes.

Allen Grimm: Our Own Hardware
Article Abstract:
Allen Grimm, plumbing and electrical department manager of Our Own Hardware, notes the growth of upscale or enhanced products, and of outdoor lighting products. He says more than 80% of his chain's electrical products business is from do-it-yourselfers, and that consumer education about new federal energy rules will be key to his department's growth. He also predicts growth in audio, video and computer accessories, and smoke detectors, especially carbon-monoxide detectors.
