Dealers Leave lt To Cameron

Some independent building material dealers are finding if they want something done right, they can let someone else do it for them, using a new Cameron Wholesale program designed to keep merchandise stocked and turning.

In a five-day period, 310 dealers were signed to the Dealer Advantage Program which covers CertainTeed insulation, residential roofing and other products specifically selected by the retailer - up to 72 different product lines.

A Cameron territory manager calls on each business at least once every two weeks (more often if needed or desired). During each visit, products will be counted, necessary re-orders recommended, and slow moving items replaced, at the dealer's request. Literature and sample supplies are also maintained.

Cameron takes care of showing sales and counter personnel the products' features, benefits and supporting programs. The company will also hold do-it-yourself clinics for retailers' customers and builders and conduct truckload sales.

Retailers, in addition, are kept informed of the latest product displays and offerings.A warehouse fillin and volume rebate programs support the Dealer Advantage Program.

The results of the program are evident already, according to Ronald R. Ross, v.p., operations, at Cameron in Waco, Tx. "Residential roofing sales are up 350/0," he said, "and insulation sales have shot up by 400/0. Many other product line sales are also up related to the program."

Finally, a customer service program ensures everything works. An 8OO-telephone number has been installed to guarantee any complaints are handled immediately. If Cameron management doesn't return a hot line call within 24 hours, they'll hand over $50 to the customer.

Probably spawned by the dying llurricane (iilbert, a Sept. l9 stornt caused heavy rain, straight-line winds of 80 mph, and - in the view of some experts - a dcvastating tornado in McKinney, T'x., flattening the local l;oxworth-(ialbraith store.

"lt's totaled - the building and contents, everything is wet," said general manager Roy Warnecke.

The main business will take four to five months to rebuild, although a 40,000 sq. ft. lumbcr storage facility sustained little dantage and was reopened two days later.

Two employees, who were in the store when the storm struck at about 5:40 p.m. on Saturday, suffered minor injuries. Only minutes before the disaster, about 30 employees and customers had left assistant store n"lanager Jinr ('rump, 3l, and his wife, co-worker Shirley, 33, behind to close the store.
