Protect Your Share Of The Remodeling Market

With dwindling new home construction, the talk among building materials suppliers has been to pursue the expanding remodeling market. But even that has been tightening of late.

The National Association of Home Builders recently calculated that home remodeling expenditures will fall this year for the first time in at least 20 years. They expect Americans to spend $105.7 billion in 1991 on remodeling, a l.O3Vo dip from 1990's $106.8 billion.

NAHB explains fewer people are moving this year, causing remodeling expenditures to shrink. Money has gone more for maintenance and repairs rather than improvements.

"We've probably reached a saturation in households doing home improvements," seconded Judy Riggs, spokeswoman for the Home Improvement Research Sales Institute. "The growth now is from existing households."

And with so many retailers' increasing reliance on remodeling customers, competition is intensifying. To maintainand possibly even increaseyour share in these tough times, experts point to a credo among non-professional remodelers: "Keep the customer comfortable." Basics include: o Extrasclinics, design terminals and specialists, specialty departments, refreshments, samples and freebies.

' Bright sales floorneat, organized, well lit, showy, attractive displays.

' Accessible aisleswide, well marked. safe.

' Merchandiseneatly and fully stocked shelves, fresh looking products, logically situated, good selection, quality.

' Pricingcompetitive, clearly marked.

' Upbeat salespeoplehelpful, friendly, knowledgeable, interested, easy to locate, problem solvers.

The winners are consumers, who can choose the best environment in which to shop, and retailers who can provide it.
