Spot New Trends in Remodeling at Trade Shows

Trade shows are a great place to spot new trends in the remodeling market. And picking out new trends early can be one way to increase your business.

Being the first in your area to offer a new line of vinyl siding or a new kitchen faucet can set you apart from your competition, giving your company increased value in the minds of your potential customers.

Manufacturers and suppliers bring their newest products and innovations to a major trade show like The Remodeling Show or the Kitchen/Bath Industry Show. You can talk directly to the reps, see a product first-hand, find out how it can fit into your business, get some literature and ask lots of questions.

But don’t limit yourself to major trade shows. Many times industry reps help out at local consumer remodeling shows and you can make some valuable contacts there, too.

Try to commit to attending one show a year. Spend some time talking to people and looking at the products. Be open to new ideas that can increase your business.
