Inaugural Issue of Bulletin by HBT Group

It’s all systems go at Hardware Building Traders (HBT) as most of us start to wind down for the holiday festivities.

If you are a member or supplier to the group (or making the transition), look out for this publication in the post.

Of course the Bulletin will be made available digitally as well — wait for the link.

Between the covers:

Think PINK!

State Conference Series Wrap Up;

The Bright Side of H Hardware featuring Katanning, Traralgon and others;

Noteworthy suppliers such as Trio, Dy-Mark, Klingspor with Haymes Paint and Duralex behind increasingly popular H Branded products; and of course

The much anticipated 20th Anniversary National Conference in Sydney.

Check your mail… copies should arrive by end of the week.

I love it. Ready. Set. Go for 2017!

Speak soon, Ray

Not forgetting our Facebook page to stay on top of things. Again, we tend to be on point with no theory-based conjecture or hokey ‘evaluation’ articles. We actually point you in the right direction of credible industry experts and news gatherers.

Independent Hardware #Retailing Ideas & Inspirations As you know, I am a big big fan of Hardware Retailing magazine published by the North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA). These are some nifty ideas any store can localize and easily implement to drive more traffic and create a unique point of difference -- Get your suppliers in the mix too; much like what Spot-on Laser and Tool Company have done at Total Tools and other #indie #retailers.
