CONSTRUCTION FIXINGS
Trust TIMco to come up with the solution
Fixings stockists and builders merchants always seem to report the same frustrations when it comes to presenting screws, nails and other fixing products in their point of sale area. Trust TIMco to have come up with a simple but really effective solution.
“Customers are always ripping the boxes open” “The boxes keep on splitting” “Customers want to see the product” “Pricing is a nightmare because every box is a different price” “The merchandisers are simply not built for a sales environment like ours”
Sound familiar? OK, so here is the new TIMbag – a simple
solution as TIMco succinctly puts it. And it really is simple – like all the best solutions. An eye catching but robust bag, which ensures every product
is readily visible …and it’s tamperproof to deter those itching fingers. A pack that is just, well, “droppable” – eliminating the risk
of screws or nails spilling all over the place. It’s also totally re-sealable, which means if a contractor doesn’t use all the contents on one job, the remainder will still be there, in the bag, and not strewn across the back of the van, next time they’re needed. Waterproof too! What else? Well every bag is bar coded as well as providing a
clearly visible description – not that you really need it, it is so easy to see the stuff inside – and size information, which is important. And the merchandising has really been thought out, too. Solid
four or five shelf racks, smartly liveried in black and red with the clear assurance everything on board is backed by the TIMco quality assurance. Content quantities have also been varied so that complete ranges are at the same price point. There’s an easy to see Price Chart on the merchandiser, so for example all
concrete screws are in price band S. Now all you have to do is agree the required mark up and TIMco provide an appropriately calculated Price Chart – and if prices do change then it is simple to replace with an updated one. Not so immediately obvious is outer box quantities combined
with shelf dividers that provide an immediate and visible (there you go, that word again) re-order reminder. Delivery cartons hold five bags: the shelf divider holds six. Simple – easy to re-order but also keeps inventories at a practical level, no bad thing in these days of tight working capital. Of course, TIMco has always been renowned for its
commitment to excellent availability – and there’s now a new packaging operation at its Nantwich to ensure a flexible response as the programme is being rolled out. Word to the wise, that’s already happening so nothing like putting a call in today to make sure you can be one of the next TIMbag stockists. What haven’t we told you? Ah, the range. Well it’s taken all
the top sellers from across the established TIMco range… plus, a completely new programme of nails in half kilo, 1 kilo and soon to be 2.5 kilo bags, the latter fitted with convenient carrying handles. TIMco has also added hexagonal bolts, washers and nuts; with mirror screws, hooks and other popular movers soon to come. TIMco will help you select from a choice of profiles to suit your business as well as providing the right merchandiser units to match the space you have available. So that’s it really – simple and successful. Exactly what you would trust TIMco to do for you.
