New Look ol Deq'lers Cqlled for by Group

Today's building material dealer is a selective marketing specialist; there is no such thing as a o'typical dealer" serving a tttl'pical market," according to Thomas T. Sneddon of the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association (formerly NRLDA).

In urging all segments of the housing industry to take this new look at the building material dealer, Sneddon pointed out that this 'onew look" was going to be the central theme of the NLBMDA's Exposition in Dallas in November of this year. The theme of the Exposition, he added, is ooThe Show That's In Tune With The Times."

Material suppliers cannot expect to capture this multi-faceted retailer with one "umbrella type" program. Creative marketing and a closer knowledge by manufacturers of how buildine material dealers operate is vital.

Fifty-five percent of all housing starts had component parts manufactured away from the site. Today's building material dealers account tor 79 percent of this prefabrication, according to figures released by the NLBMDA.

The six basic types of building material dealers whose operations must be understood to fully tap the market by suppliers are: construction supply dealer, full service dealer, super-market dealer, cash and carry dealer, dealer-builder, and farm dealer.

'oBusiness sessions and demonstration areas designed to attract and communicate with all these types of dealers will be an important focal point at the NLBMDA Exposition in Dallas next November," Sneddon added.
