SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif.- Full-line importer Coaster Co. of America is hosting open houses for dealers at its seven branch offices on Sept. 14-16 and again on Sept. 21-23.While Coaster has hosted single-location open houses in the past, this marks the first time the company is hosting events at each of its seven branch locations. The branches are located in City of Industry and Newark, Calif.; Des Plaines, Ill; Fort Worth, Texas; Dayton, N.J.; College Park, Ga.; and Miramar, Fla.
"Hosting an all-location event gives any of our dealers who may not have attended the most recent markets in either High Point or Las Vegas an opportunity to see our full line, meet one-on-one with the people they interact with each day, and get hands-on training with Coaster Connect, our recently launched Web portal," said Toby Konetzny, director of marketing.
The events, Konetzny added, underscore Coaster's commitment to being an efficient, easy-to-work-with company.
"We are always looking for ways to be more accessible and helpful to our dealers, and this event lets us meet that objective," he said.
Konetzny added that because Coaster does business with so many types of retailers, "some of them have never had the chance to get a first-hand look at the size of our company, the depth and breadth of our products and the extensive inventory that we stock for them. This event will really help them appreciate who we are and what we bring to the party."
