Home Hardware Delivers Successful 2021 Virtual Spring Market

 

 

Home Hardware has successfully concluded its 2021 Virtual Spring Market, which ran from March 22 – 29. The eight-day event united Home Hardware Dealers from across Canada with hundreds of Suppliers. Dealer-owners gained valuable insight into strategic buying opportunities, including innovative products and category trends through video presentations and key updates from our Hardlines and LBM Merchandise teams.

“We are thrilled with the success of our 2021 Virtual Spring Market, which built on the experience and capabilities of our two previous Virtual Markets,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “Our enhanced platform allowed us to deliver engaging presentations in our virtual auditorium and host an interactive tradeshow, providing Dealers with an event that drives their growth and profitability.”

Designed specifically for our Dealers, the Virtual Spring Market focused on showcasing new products, engaging with Suppliers, and offering Dealers the best assortments for their stores.
