Getting a good deal on product is one way to deal with increasing competition and tight margins.
The bath remodeling industry has changed in many ways over the past 10 years. First, increased exposure to the
general public by home centers has put the price of more than just generic chrome and white fixtures within easy grasp
of more of your potential customers.
Thanks to these retailers' generous commitment to huge displays showing top-of-the-line faucets, toilets and fixtures,
people are coming to you with prices for the fixtures already itemized, or, sometimes, even purchased. The opportunity
to generate gross profit on the plumbing fixture package is rapidly disappearing.
