Be open to stocking new cleaning and organization products that can potentially be hot sellers in your market. Shoppers will notice your efforts to diversify your assortment and introduce them to new options. Pet-Friendly Disinfectants. Pet owners want to ensure they buy cleaners and disinfectants that won’t harm their furry friends. Many brands offer products specifically designed for use in homes with dogs: cats, or other animals. Plant-based Ingredients. National brands are developing more cleaning formulas that are derived from plant-based ingredients. Consumers want to buy products free of toxins and potentially harmful ingredients. People are rapidly switching to brands they feel are healthier for their homes and the planet—many are biodegradable or water-based. Fast and Convenient products that offer quick solutions are always popular. People often feel they need more time to get everything done. For example, wet/dry mops make it easy to clean floors or wipe up spills. Antibacterial sprays and wipes are simple ways to kill germs and sanitize spaces around the home—especially the kitchen and bathroom. STAY CONNECTED TO CUSTOMERS Promoting your cleaning solutions department in-store and on your website is an ideal way to acquire more Gen Z and Millennial customers. Work towards building a community of loyal followers by interacting with select products in short videos or sharing exciting or unusual facts about particular items.

58 CUTTINGEDGE Products Fall 2023 PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT HARDWARE & BUILDING SUPPLIES products that can help them lower their utility bills. Some home fixes to improve energy efficiency are more expensive than others. However, home improvement stores and larger home centers offer many solutions. These products can include low-flush toilets, specialty showerheads that monitor water flow, and smart thermostats. On a grander scale, the Inflation Reduction Act offers numerous tax credits that make it appealing for homeowners to install solar panels and energy-saving equipment. HOW RETAILERS BENEFIT FROM THESE TRENDS One of the greatest challenges for hardware store owners is effectively communicating what services and products the business offers to customers and the community. It’s essential to tell your story in as many ways as possible—on your website, social media, through customer reviews, and by word-of-mouth. Placing weekly sales flyers in a bin inside the store may have worked in the past, but technology changed the game. Hardware stores’ advantage is the ability to foster trust and build authentic relationships with customers. It helps to be the neighborhood’s “go-to” place for advice, maintenance, and repair products. Your business is already positioned to leverage many trends driving consumer buying behavior. It requires doing more to create awareness by highlighting and promoting the products and services you already offer. BUILD ENDCAPS THAT PROMOTE ENERGY SAVINGS Create an end cap filled with products to help shoppers reduce energy costs. Staples can include CFL bulbs, furnace filters, power strips, and flaps for dryer vents. The product assortment can change based on the season. Winter is an excellent season to promote window and door caulk, portable ceramic heaters, and high-tech thermostats. PROMOTING SPECIALTY SERVICES Many customers have not learned what services are available because the information may not be posted in-store or on your website. Start by posting signs on the windows to get pedestrians’ attention—place signs in high-visibility areas inside the business. Also, post information on social media, and send targeted emails throughout the year. L ast year homeowners tackled expensive renovations and were willing to wait months for the services of contractors. Disruptions in the supply chain created a ripple effect that caused contractors to search the market to obtain the materials necessary to fulfill contractual obligations. However, rising inflation, escalating material costs, and an unpredictable housing market have changed consumers’ perspectives. When people are uncertain about the future, they spend less on non-essentials and don’t hire others to complete tasks they can do themselves. According to Mallory Micetich, home expert at Angi, “optional projects” won’t be top-of-mind for homeowners this year. “With inflation still rising, most people won’t be rushing to take on fully optional projects. Homeowners are more likely to focus on non-discretionary projects, like fixing a broken fence or repairing a burst pipe.” In cases where homeowners choose to tackle more expensive projects, it will be done in conjunction with a related repair necessary to maintain essential functions within the home. • 9 out of 10 Homeowners are choosing to repair, renovate and improve their current properties • Sixty-five percent plan to turn their existing home into their “dream home.” REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION One of the easiest ways to save money is to make homes more energy efficient.
