Jul 28, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Despite being the largest city in Alabama, homeowners in Birmingham may have a difficult time finding high quality garage storage solutions locally. U.S. based powder coated wood garage cabinets manufacturer, RedLine garagegear, is hoping to reverse that trend by making its extensive product lines available to local homeowners through an authorized dealer in the area.
“To date we’ve taken more of a ‘wait and see’ approach to finding someone in Birmingham to offer our products,” said Director of Sales and Research for RedLine garagegear, Bill Garrity. “Now we are being a bit more proactive by starting to search for and recruit area business owners and entrepreneurs to take advantage of the tremendous business opportunity we offer.”
Unlike the franchise model, the RedLine Garage Cabinets Dealer Program has been designed to be most beneficial to the local dealer. RedLine does not charge franchise fees or royalties; and there are no inventory requirements to get started. The manufacturer also allows its local dealers to run their businesses unabated by the rules and regulations that would be passed down from the typical franchise’s corporate offices. In an article published on the company website, Bill gives 8 reasons why the RedLine garagegear business opportunity is better than a franchise.
Besides RedLine garage cabinets, local dealers also have the option of carrying the RedLine Closet System line. With the various components from RedLine Closet Systems, local agents are able to create storage solutions for closets, mud rooms, pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, and any other area of the home that needs a storage solution.
Most of the businesses in the RedLine dealer network operate local showrooms where customers can see full displays of garage cabinets, closets, and the other storage solutions that are available to them. While highly encouraged, a showroom location is not required to become a RedLine dealer. Local agents (in smaller markets especially) may offer their services by appointment only; working out of a warehouse, their own home, or a model home in the area.
“Joining our dealer network is a huge commitment; so more than anything we want to make sure we find someone who is capable of taking on that commitment and will be a really good fit for our program,” said RedLine garagegear President, Troy Greenberg. “We are big on things like being customer service oriented, reliable, and honest. We are ultimately looking for those qualities when considering someone for our agent network.”
RedLine began offering its garage cabinets, workbenches, closets, and other home storage solutions in 2004. The South Beloit, IL based company custom manufactures every cabinet at its own production facilities. Every job, from cutting the parts to applying the powder coat finish, is completed in house to ensure quality. RedLine garagegear (www.RedLineGaragegear.com) has 500+ cabinets available in more than a dozen colors.
Local Birmingham business owners who would like to expand their offerings and entrepreneurs looking for a great start up opportunity are encouraged to research RedLine’s dealer program by visiting its website.
