Hicksville, OH (June 14, 2010)
Despite the cloudy skies and brief periods of showers The Wholesale House’s Watts up ’10 Dealer Show held on Saturday June 5^th was a success!

“Due to the unfavorable weather attendance was down just slightly compared to last year” commented Marcy Keesbury, president of The Wholesale House. “However, we were still extremely pleased with the turnout. Dealers from eighteen different states came to take advantage of our one-time only show opportunities. Some from as far away as Mississippi, New Hampshire and Texas”

the ease of installation, Black Stealth Foil Surface
and profit potential offered by the HushMat brand." Tim McCarthy

“One on one interaction with all the vendors at their booths gave our dealers an opportunity to gain knowledge from some of the leaders in our industry” explained Jared Downing, National Sales manager for The Wholesale House. “I believe dealers also came away with a heightened level of awareness of how to make their business more profitable in today’s competitive market”

All Dealers in attendance enjoyed a catered lunch provided by
Brand X and American International with refreshments provided by Boss Audio. The customer waiting area was once again sponsored by Power Acoustik featuring big screen TVs for customers taking a break from the show or waiting for their orders to be processed. The paging system sponsored by TView, once again notified customers that their orders were ready to pickup regardless of
where they were at the show. There were snacks and refreshments available outside of the sales offices compliments of Omega and Qpower.

HushMat’s Tim McCarthy told 12voltnews.com “This was our first WholeSale House dealer show. I enjoyed meeting so many of their dealers and covering the profit opportunities the HushMat brand offers. I was extremely impressed to see how well the show was organized”.
