I hear ya Charles.
We are in a nice position with vendors where we can introduce a product line with very low or no minimums and stock items accordingly to what moves. If I have a slow mover I am able to send back for credit or sell at cost to get it out the door.
In addition to our website we have our retail store plus our truck delivering to dealerships so these items get adequate exposure.
While we don't want to get too big we do want to make sure that we have an adequate product offering to be worthy of calling ourselves "Premium" AutoCare.com
From information gathered in this thread and also taking into consideration our local demand, here are some items to add that will get the highest priority from me....... also need to add that we have ALOT of products locally that I just havent added to the website yet like high speed buffers and pads and SEM dyes to name a few.
1. Makita, Dewalt and Porter Cable Buffers
2. The Edge Foam Pads
3. Lake Country VC and tufted pads.
4. Genuine Sheepswool Wash Mitts from S.M. Arnold and other assorted applicators and brushes
5. Wurth, if I can locate a local rep
6. Stoner Products
7. Maybe Einszett..... although I have some great reviews I think I am missing something...... I experimented with "Glanz Wax" and it was like waxing a car with Naptha...... very thin and watery, strong naptha smell and fast solvent evaporation..... still need to look at the other products
We have recently added OXO brushes and Luster Lace products.
Poorboys is coming soon.
Also have a few lines we are looking at and in talks with various manufacturers. When I look at vendor websites and catalogs it is just like Christmas for me!
You know the special feeling when UPS brings your car care supplies??? I get that every day with some HUGE boxes and our UPS delivery guys gets his daily workout at our place.
