HouseHold Direct Continues to Expand Corporate Management Team; Centralized Purchasing Services to Expand National Role for HouseHold Direct
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- HouseHold Direct.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BYIT - news). To increase its national manufacturer product representation, HouseHold Direct announced today that it has hired the Executive Management of America's Hometown Brand Center, Inc. (AHBC) to coordinate the nationwide centralized purchasing services required to support the consolidation of membership and third-party fulfillment services.
Wayne Neelley, Danny Magee and Lee Porter, the management of AHBC, gained their years of experience while working in the management of the national catalogue division of Sears. They will provide the expertise the Company needs to expand its relationships into broader merchandise offerings, as well as continuing the expansion of the HouseHold Direct Network, creating new opportunities for retail industry support. These tasks will be accomplished with an increase in the current marketing budget, an increased presence at trade shows, and through the development of an inside sales organization to work under the former AHBC management group. They fully understand the role that technology will play in the evolution of the manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer distribution channels of the future.
The hiring of these talented and experienced individuals represents the continual improvement by HouseHold Direct of the management organization, which now represent substantially more hands-on business experience than most other companies at this stage of development. The management team will assist HouseHold Direct in various functions preparing the Company to continue acquisitions of other distribution companies, as well as the independent representation of additional product lines.
John Folger, CEO of HouseHold Direct, stated: ``In a time when most of the news in the traditional dot.com arena is not that encouraging, we are very pleased to be meeting our deadlines and timetables for performance. It is a very strong indication for our shareholders, customers and partners that our management team is growing, and the deployment of our operational stage is now underway. This management group provides the expertise to expand the relationships of the Company into broader merchandise offerings, as well as continuing the expansion of the HouseHold Direct ''brick and click`` network to create new opportunities for retail industry support.''
The initial emphasis of the AHBC team will be directed toward those improvements directly supporting the growth of the HouseHold Direct membership. They will also assist in the deployment of the third-party support systems that will enable the Company to become the provider for many other membership, co-branded or affinity groups which are actively seeking a comprehensive national fulfillment solution.
