Lowes Pursues Commerical Market
Lowes is getting more aggressive in pursuing the commercial market by taking a page from distribution … using counter days and pricing to drive traffice.
Recently they sent a mass mailer to addresses within a specific diameter around their stores. They have the benefit of having a wide product array, so limit electrical products were highlighted … with specific pricing.

Notice that they are promoting a counter day for next week and the discounted pricing.
Is this going on in your market? Are you receiving these price levels? While Lowes targets the smaller commercial operation, could you use a comparable strategy to target specific markets? Consider how you could be much more effective than Lowes (who is dabbling in a market that they probably don’t understand).
