A benefit the product has is great for retailers. They don't have to store or ship cabinets already built in all the different colors. Only need to have a number of base units with faces in a variety of colors. It will be attractive to retailers. They will save in shipping and storage.
Not so, if well engineered this product will revolutionize the industry. I speak from experence. I am a cabinet maker licensed in europe and california for the last 15 years.
this new product will improve revenues for my company most assuredly because: even if it is a DYI project. most homeowners will still call in an expert as they are unsure of screwing something up or have no desire to demo original cabinets. Yes this is a great idea and exph is the first to do it. Can't wait to see them in the stores.
Please forgive spelling mistakes, Cabinet Maker. not Author!
It's funny how you always miss(i'm sure by accident) THE MOST IMPORTANT aspects of the new product.
THIS ISN'T FOR THE CONSUMER IT'S FOR THE RETAILERS!
When Lowes and Home Depots carry this it will be the only choice for the consumer. HUGE REVENUE $$$$$$$ FOR EXPO.
It will sell and sell BIG.
If Lowes alone does 100 million in bathroom cabinets and when Lowes replaces their current product with etc.
Then you easily have etc selling 100 million in product per year from one retailer.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE...
OH AND LOWES LOVES THE PRODUCT!!!!!
Everyone will soon find this out.
We already know William C. Warden loves the product and he was the Executive Vice President, Administration, of Lowes Companies's and still sits on the Board of Directors for LOWES and several other companies like RUDDICK who has been listed as a FORBES 400 BEST COMPANY SINCE 2004.
It's not about removing counter tops. This concept has been lost. No one is going to remove their counter tops to do anything. This has to do with store inventory and space.
Say for instance your a retail outlet and have 4 kinds of cabinets. And you wanted to keep an inventory of these cabinets in your store to sell to customers and you wanted to keep 3 of each you would have to keep 12 sets of cabinets.
With ETC you only need to keep one set of "generic" cabinets. The customer would choose the style and type that he want's. The retail outlets saves tons of space. That's why it's a great idea.
I see a place but like I stated, it will take time to get out...Need initial installations THEN time for repeat business...about 5-10 year turnaround????
No one replaces cabinet doors for spilling coffee or kids dings most of the time, only major damage...most wait till "safety" can be insured, lol....
