These products make for an easy add-on sale for renters who have already invested in that big-screen LCD or videogaming system.
John Alifano, Manager, D&H Home Entertainment Division

D&H Distributing is offering RTO store owners and dealers at the upcoming TRIB Group show the opportunity to capitalize on the home theater and game room trend, presenting fun appliances that compliment the gaming/theater experience. On the TRIB floor (Phoenix, AZ, May 16 – 19), D&H will feature:

The Haier Stainless Steel BrewMaster beer dispenser (left), which can accommodate a half-, quarter- or mini-barrel keg.

The Haier 24-bottle capacity wine cooler, a sophisticated addition to any high-end gaming or home theater.

Nostalgia Electric's MovieTime Popcorn Cart, to enhance the theater atmosphere.

At booth #319, D&H will offer special, show-floor only discounts to its RTO customers on items from the new Nintendo Wii console to Lenovo notebooks to Panasonic microwaves.

"Enjoyable products that compliment the gaming and theater experience present a terrific opportunity for incremental rental revenues," said John Alifano, manager of D&H's Home Entertainment Division. "Their appeal is undeniable in adding a level of excitement to the homeowner's entertainment space. These products make for an easy add-on sale for renters who have already invested in that big-screen LCD or videogaming system."

In addition, Alifano suggests that RTO store owners and dealers take advantage of affordable small appliances such as the popular George Foreman grill, deep fryers, toaster ovens, or even digital media devices such as SanDisk's m240 MP3 player (less than $50). Such merchandise can be used as giveaways to entice renters into larger transactions, e.g., "Rent a living room suite, receive a free MP3 player."

"We want to encourage our RTO partners to use inventory in tactical ways, making the most of trends and can't-miss promotions," said Alifano.

D&H works to support its customers through high-value products combined with a program of services to help grow business and open new sales avenues. The benefits of working with D&H include flexible credit terms; free account set-up; dedicated customer service representatives assigned to each account; same-day shipping until 7 p.m. EST; new account rewards; and a multi-divisional inventory that spans computer products, home electronics, gaming and small appliances.
