VANITY PRODUCTS
John Vance, president of Vanity Products, is reading the latest financial results reported in the company newsletter. Every time he reads this year’s financials, he recalls the company’s early days and the struggle to get retailers to stock his new line of bathroom vanities, mirrors, and light fixtures. Today, the company is straining to produce enough products to meet retailer demand.
Vanity Products (VP) manufactures a variety of bathroom accessories, including vanities (medicine chests (mirrors, and lighting fixtures, and shelving. The products are made of rust and chip-resistant molded plastic and come in a variety of modern design and colors. The plastic construction permits VP to produce a high-quality bathroom accessory at an affordable price.
In the middle of 1990’s John focused the company’s marketing attention on the large home centre chain store: Home depot Walmart, Sears and so on. Today, more than 80 percent of VP sales are to these retail chains, and they account for 95% of its growth. Without these chain store customers, VP would still be a small struggling manufacturer.
