Are you a new hardware store owner? Here are some Do’s and Don’ts to grow your business, keep your customers happy and make a tidy profit!

Know what your customers want

Seems basic, doesn’t it? But a lot of hardware store owners have closed their business down because they did not have a finger on the pulse of their customers’ needs. Look at the community around you. Keep track of what they need and try to stock your shelves with the right products.

For example, if you are in a seaside town, it is a given that your customer base would include a large number of people shopping for Marine Hardware. And if you are smart, you would stock just the right kind of stainless steel connecting hardware that will be needed for rigging and docking boats, yachts, etc. Baron Hardware has a wide range of Marine Hardware in stainless steel including snaps, quick links, hooks, chains, wire ropes and cables.

Always keep your shelves stocked

You don’t want your customers to go empty handed because you did not predict the demand, do you? Another common reason is the non-availability of stock with your own vendor/distributor. You will never have that problem if you order from Baron Hardware, of course. Baron has a solid network of suppliers and an excellent manufacturing infrastructure which make an always-ready stock of connecting hardware for Construction, Fashion, Sports or any other industry possible.

Keep track of seasonal demands

If you have been in the industry for a while, you would know the exact months when there will be an increase in demand for awning-related hardware, as the months when most home decoration projects are carried out. Or it could be related to sailing or sports based requirements. But not all demands can be known in advance.

If Baron Hardware is your connecting hardware distributor, you are sure to get your orders delivered within 3 days, anywhere in the United States, which majorly mitigates your risk of having empty shelves over extended periods. Same day shipping is not a service provided by many. But America’s Leading Hardware Distributor & Supplier https://baronhardware.com/ can do that for you!

Have an eye on the prices and discounts

Not all prices are the same in the market as you would very well know, and not all prices are directly related to just the product quality either! Many factors such as sourcing prices, transportation costs, competition, and demand-supply fluctuations can have a direct bearing on the product pricing.

Baron Hardware sources from all over the world and has a strong network of suppliers and partners which enable them to pass on their savings directly to their customers by way of reduced prices. A 20% reduction in market prices can make all the difference to the retail stores and partners in terms of economies of scale and better business growth!

But never compromise on product quality

You would think it is common sense, but quality is so often sacrificed in favor of cost cutting by some vendors and that would invariably lead to a lack of trust from which one may never recover.

Be wise and check out the 3 step quality control process that Baron Hardware follows at https://baronhardware.com/quality/. At Baron, you can still get excellent quality connecting hardware that goes through multiple checks right from raw material selection, through the different processes, until the finished products are packed for delivery.

Have all the answers, or at least know where you can get them from
Your customers are going to have questions about the hardware components, about how and where to use them, what metals suit which functions, what sizes can take what loads, and a hundred others like those. Let that not faze you.
