The 2010 Canadian Home Improvement Show is the industry trade event where retailers in the Ontario home improvement sector come to place orders with national suppliers and source new products. In a move to better reflect its attendees and exhibitors, the Show recently changed its name from the LBMAO Winter Buying Show to the Canadian Home Improvement Show. Building on their success as a true buying show, the LBMAO will continue to host the event.

Now based in Toronto, the Show is central to industry delegates in the province. Connecting Ontario retailers with suppliers from all across Canada, the Show encompasses more than just building materials. Following a concerted expansion over the past several years, the Show has grown to include all of the home improvement sectors such as building materials, hardlines, lawn and garden, paint and décor, and power tools.

Mag Ruffman made a surprise appearance at the show much to the delight of many of the exhibitors and show personal. Ms. Rufffman toured the exhibitor booths with LBMAO President David Campbell and shook  hands and provided photo opportunities. At the end of the tour Ruffman commented on how she was impressed to see how many new and creative building material products were being displayed and she hinted at the fact that there might be a possibility of her personal involvement with the show in 2011.

Ms. Ruffman is well know across Canada for her insight and knowledge on the DIY home improvement front and particularly when it comes to helping provide women of all ages and backgrounds with useful products, tools and the personal how-to.  If you would like more information on Mag Ruffman please visit www.toolgirl.com

Innovational products offered to Building Retailers sets Otter Creek apart from its competition.

June 16th, 2009

pawbrandlogoOtter Creek  continues to add prominent building retailers that carry the trademark “Paw Brand” products in their stores.  Otter Creek offers their retailers attractive first order packages that allows them to try the product without having to commit to ordering in the future. Robert Abbott the President of Otter Creek says that the products that are offered to theirretailers are so unigue and unlike many other prducts on the store shelves that it’s an easy sell.

We try and offer the retailer the products that have significant benefits over other competing products. Retailers want new and improved products that offer their customers real solutions to their building projects.  Abbott thinks that retailers are tired of the same old same old products that offer little in the way of innovation or real solutions for their customers. We have many of our building retailers tell us that our product(s) offer real solutions and are not just another similiar product offering that gets lumped in with all the other products on the store shelves.

One such product that has been very successful at the building stores has been the Titan Post Anchor.  This little anchor has been recieved very well at the retail level. It offers something never before seen on the North American marketplace for fastenening wood posts to wood or concrete surfaces.  The Titan Post Anchor has went into ten retailers in the last month with more retailers coming on board every day.  There has been such an overwhelming response we had to hire additional personal to keep up the demand.

Otter Creek products can be purchased on the www.myocstore.com website and further information on Otter Creek can been seen at www.ottercreekforestproducts.com
