The Bags are BACK!
Talking to Jim this morning, the GM of Floor Style, I ask him: “So, got any good ideas for a special today?” He says without hesitation “Go with the Contractor Bags. That always get’s the phones ringing.”
42-gallon 20 ct box of Contractor Bags
That’s why he’s the GM and I am the minion. He’s got the “lead with your strengths” thing down pat.
Every time we put the Contractor Bags out there on special, we can sometimes double or triple the amount of phone calls coming in to the branches. They’re very popular, what with being 3mil thick and come 20 to a box. Over the weekend I was in my favorite NASCAR driver’s store and saw the exact same product we sell, but it was being sold for more than $7 more than we are selling them for. (No, I’m not telling who my favorite NASCAR driver is for fear of retribution from Earnhardt, Gordan and Stewart fans)
Another thing needing mentioning is the new Bona Anti-slip Traffic product.
WHAT??? Traffic in an “anti-slip” formula? Yup. No kidding. We’re not kidding anyone when we say Traffic is our #1 selling finish…everyone knows that and every contractor, big and small knows why. But now Bona has added a new dimension to their Traffic and you gotta be saying to yourself “this I gotta try!”
Bona Traffic® Anti-Slip is a 100% polyurethane 2-component waterborne finish offering exceptional durability and protection for hardwood floors. It has all the features of Bona Traffic® but with the additional benefit of being formulated to meet the highest standards for slip resistance in workplaces and other situations with an increased risk of wet spills. With its higher friction, Bona Traffic Anti-Slip is an ideal choice for stairs, nurseries, kitchens and similar locations.
We have it in stock. We’ll ship you some if you order it. We’re happy to do it.
