Benefit for Suppliers

Get started now and increase your bottom line!

As a Housewares Direct Supplier, your line is beautifully presented to a large customer base of member Retailers and Sales Representatives using an online Product Catalog. This provides you with a 24-hour sales channel that extends your traditional market reach nationwide and provides a new level of service to your own customers. We'll help you get all your products up on our site!

Order Management Control

Simplify Your Business Processes!

Every month you receive hundreds of faxes and phone calls for product orders - simplify your life and manage all of this with one system. Housewares Direct sends all your orders electronically to an email address of your choice. All you have to do is acknowledge that the order has been sent and invoice the customer or charge the credit card the buyer has provided.

Sell More Product -Through a Different Channel

Since Housewares Direct is a division of Housewares Direct Inc. (http://www.HousewaresDirect.com), the exclusive b2b exchange for the housewares industry, Housewares suppliers can have exposure to a new market segment. All Housewares Direct retailers have access to the Housewares Direct exchange with a direct link from the Housewares Direct exchange. Same holds true for the specialty food exchange run by Housewares Direct at http://www.condimental.com.

Get Your Own E-Commerce Capable Website – for WHOLESALE—does this hold true?

Once your catalog is set up on the Housewares Direct exchange, we will provide you with a direct link to your products in the format of http://www.HousewaresDirect.com/supplier/suppliername, which you can use in your direct marketing and advertising. It’s like having your own e-commerce capable website available to your customers 24/7 (In order to view pricing, user must be logged in).

Utilize Our E-mail Marketing Campaigns

Housewares Direct publishes a weekly e-mail newsletter to keep its customers informed about new products and promotions. As a member of the Housewares Direct exchange you can have your important company information efficiently delivered to the market through this medium. In conjunction with our partners Housewares Direct and Whereoware there will be additional opportunities available to you to promote your products in the Housewares and Housewares industries.

Improve Your Operations - Reduce waste and errors

Electronic Ordering will reduce the number of people who give, take, rewrite, key-in and fill your orders which will save time and money by streamlining the process. There is an average 2-4% error rate of orders taken in a manual system. How many typos can happen & how much does it cost to handle returns and credits from these typos? Housewares Direct has the technology you need to conduct online business and receive orders from stores in an efficient manner - reducing the margin for error and increasing your profits. Please give us a call if you have any questions about how we operate or how we can help you get started in making more money every month.

Benefit for Retailers

Get started now and increase your bottom line!

Forget about spending hours per month waiting on hold, misplaced faxes, confirming orders, calling 800 numbers and paying dozens of invoices. Search all of your supplier catalogs with ease. Search by keywords, UPC's, item codes or categories to get orders placed or new product information.

Increase Sales & Profits

Now it's time to get excited about a system that really saves you time! Housewares Direct can help increase your sales by cutting your ordering & invoice payment time down by up to 50%. What do you want to do with the extra 30-40 hours per month? Sell more products by educating your customers and training your staff. With fewer out-of-stocks and faster delivery times, customers never walk out of your door without a product because it wasn't on the shelf.

Information At Your Fingertips

Housewares Direct is not just another not-so-adequate, uninformative distributor catalog that is rarely updated. It is an innovative, easy-to-implement ordering solution designed to increase your profits from the first month of use. And this is because we are focused on what matters - an informative Housewares catalog and viable commerce engine that saves you time!

Save up to 20 hours per month by ordering with Housewares Direct

Consider our Case Study of a retailer in Hudson Valley, New York who without Housewares Direct was spending about 30+/- hours per month ordering: calling/faxing/paying invoices. With Housewares Direct he now spends about 10 hours per month accomplishing the SAME task.

If you annualize this time spent, 240 hours are wasted by not using Housewares Direct . If this retailer had spent these wasted hours selling to and educating his customers and he/she was generating an additional $50 per hour, this would have increased the store revenue by $12,000 in new sales per year.
