Father’s Day – Success category

Strong in the do-it-yourself concept and professional activity, the power pools category has a strong sales incentive for Father’s Day. “The history of our domestic use line shows a growth from 20% to 25% in the period before the date,” says the director of Tramontina, Felisberto Moraes. In the year 2018, sales were 12% higher than in 2017. “Considering the domestic and the professional market, there was a growth of 24%. This number does not include high-end professional and industrial brands,” says Cesar Messano, marketing manager at Black+Decker.
The increase in sales is greatly boosted by household items. “The options accompany the fathers’ lifestyle, either professionally or regarding home repairs,” says Valter Lima Santos, commercial director of the OVD/Vonder Group. “More and more people are making their own home repairs. Fixing a frame or shelf on the wall is a simple but costly job when done by outsourced labor, which reinforces the need to have this type of product always at hand,” says Jacques Ivo Krause, Technical and Foreign Trade Director of Mondial.
The time before Father’s Day is undoubtedly of the greatest importance for the tool market. “Sales have grown in an interesting way since the beginning of July, especially in home centers, ‘magazine’ and online stores,” says Felipe Roque, Marketing Manager at Ferramentas Elétricas Brasil, a Bosch Group business unit. “It’s a date when sales of drills and screwdrivers grow more than 50%,” says Rafael Santos, National Sales Manager for Lenoxx.

Good Partner

The retail trade is a big seller of power tools, says Felipe, from Bosch. “Overall, it drives sales more than building materials stores. The wide variety, stock, advertising, and deadline offered by retailers usually attract the user who wants to buy more than one item in the same place.” He also points out that the buying decision process in the category goes through the online world and ends at the point of sale.

Power tools sell more at major retailers. “Non-specialized resellers can succeed with these products when they advertise and demonstrate,” says Lenoxx’s Rafael. “Household tools sell very well at all distributors, both in magazine stores and in building material stores. The sale is encouraged by promotions at the point of sale and with marketing actions in inserts and networks’ ads, “explains Jacques of Mondial.

The Black+Decker brand is present in retail, specialized channels, wholesale stores, home centers and very strongly in e-commerce, informs Cesar. “The point is the participation in each channel, and this meets the profile of the consumer that frequents each one. In specialized channels and home centers, tools considered professional are the ones with greatest search.

“In the case of Tramontina, sales of its domestic line are concentrated in small retails, hypermarkets and neighborhood stores, and sales of professional tools are focused in home centers, specialized stores and construction materials stores, and cooperatives. “The sales incentive is due to the complete mix of products and work at the point of sale, strategically using spaces such as gondola and checkout points” says” Felisberto.
