LIGHTING ONE UNCHES “MADE IN AMERICA” PRODUCT LINE
Lighting One, the cooperative network of independently owned lighting showrooms, has recently
partnered with American Lighting Brands to o er members exclusive “Made in America” products.
Each piece in the 12 collections – from pendants and chandeliers to ush- mounts and sconces – have been tooled and designed for Lighting One.
“This is another way to help our members excel in a highly competitive marketplace,” says Angie Prost, Supplier & Product Manager. “It’s a chance for them to o er something not found any- where else. American Lighting Brands has an excellent reputation for great design and quality, and we’ve already received wonderful feedback from the launch.”
American Lighting Brands – which includes Arroyo Cra sman, Framburg, House of Troy, Scatchard Stoneware, and Thumprints – has created a “Made in America” product catalog which will
be exclusively available to Lighting One members. Non-Lighting One showrooms will not have access.
In addition to exclusive products, Lighting One members bene t from a variety of programs to help set them apart from their competitors. One of those bene ts is consumer nancing. Consumer nancing increases the average ticket, builds a consumer loyalty base, and provides the individual showroom members with the same nancing options as the big box stores and national chains.
Another opportunity for Lighting One members is the cooperative’s annual June convention. This year’s theme is “Be More.”
“The convention was a value-packed two days including speakers, creative marketing, consumer lead generation, networking sessions, business support programs, and our annual awards recep- tion hosting 250 industry people,” says Prost.
