Moulding Solutions Introduces Stair-Treads.com

Kingston, Georgia, June 5, 2007--Moulding Solutions, a prefinished moulding manufacturer in Kingston,  Georgia announced the grand opening of stair-treads.com today.  With the opening of this new retail storefront comes numerous new opportunities for flooring retailers.
 
Stair-treads.com is a unique, but not necessarily new type of retailer that has opened its doors in cyberspace.  Offering prefinished stair treads shipped from the manufacturer directly to homeowners across America, stair-treads.com is poised to bring value and service to millions of new and existing homes, but there is a stark difference between this retailer and other internet flooring retailers… this one is in business to help the competition
 
Vice President of Sales with Moulding Solutions, Josh McGrath, explains the idea behind stair-treads.com:
 
stair-treads.com is the direct result of a definite need in the marketplace.  With sales in the marketplace slumping, retailers need to look at every avenue to increase their profit per job.  Prefinished stair treads are a goldmine for retailers.  The margin on an installed set of prefinished treads can be very lucrative but too many retailers shy away from treads because the installation can be tricky if their installers are unfamiliar with treads and the perceived liability can exceed the benefits.
Enter stair-treads.com.  The idea behind stair-treads.com is not so much of a direct to consumer sales model but a way for retailers to supply prefinished stair treads to their customers without incurring the liability and costs in stocking stair tread inventory.   Under our current model, we supply preprinted pamphlets to the retailer with a unique “discount code” on each pamphlet.  The retailer can then distribute these pamphlets to their customer who, in turn, receives 20% off their stair tread order.  We track each discount code processed and cut a rebate check back to the retailer on a monthly basis.  This is a win-win-win scenario, the homeowner receives high quality prefinished treads at a great price, the retailer earns commission with no monetary investment, and we move more stair treads.  A successful retailer can earn substantial revenue each month in commission from a few extra moments with each customer.
 
Today, stair-treads.com is offering prefinished stair treads in Brazilian Cherry, Tigerwood, Maple, and Red Oak.  These species are available finished natural or the customer can send a sample of their new floorcovering for a custom made stair tread at no extra cost.  Moulding Solutions plans to offer fourteen other species soon including American Cherry, Anderoba, Cumaru, Ipe, and Santos Mahogany to name a few.
 
Currently, the retailer rebate program is open to all retailers, but retailers must be registered through www.mouldingsolutions.biz.  Moulding Solutions plans to implement an affiliate program that will track clicks to stair-treads.com in the near future.  Interested retailers should e-mail info@mouldingsolutions.biz.
