Utility Cart Internet Sales Growing Again ‘Minority Operated Women Owned small business’ News

December 23, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Strong forth quarter sales of utility carts over the Internet are causing at least one company to project a great new year ahead. The winter season was expected to heat up the sales of products like ice melt and portable electric personal space heaters (see http://www.prleap.com/pr/19714/ and http://www.prleap.com/pr/21017/) but it was not expected to change utility cart Internet sales. Utility carts have never been seasonal products. This article lists the top five reasons why one Detroit area ‘Minority Operated Women Owned small business’ (MOWOsb) believes that the growth trend for utility cart Internet sales will continue.

“Utility cart” is a generic term often used to refer to a service cart, housekeeping cart, janitorial cart, book cart, presentation cart, mail cart, or tilt/platform truck. Since 1999, these cart products have seen strong competition for a share of the Internet utility cart sale business. With demand exceeding supply, the Internet utility cart sale business continued to grow until 2005 when sales began to level. This leveling put pressure on sales margins, which resulted in better prices for the Internet customers. The explosion of the many Internet comparative shopping websites also had much to do with this trend.

Donson Supply, Inc.*, a MOWOsb that operates a drop ship Internet janitorial and office supply business out of Detroit, was one of the first companies to recognize the potential strength of utility cart sales over the Internet. Until recently, Donson Supply’s reputation and its repeat customers kept utility cart Internet sales growing year over year. This changed in 2005 when sales began to level off. As 2006 approaches, Donson Supply is:

1) restructuring (ref: http://www.prleap.com/pr/17972/ and http://www.prleap.com/pr/18785/) with significantly lower expenses to fight competition in the very competitive, low margin janitorial and office supply business with products like utility carts,
2) continuing to hold the top position in non-sponsored Yahoo search results for “utility carts” and climbing higher every day on others,
3) announcing with this press release that it will establish feeds to one or more of the major comparative shopping websites so that more new customers will recognize that the utility cart prices at Donson Supply beat the competition,
4) continuing to sell the same brands of utility carts which provide three key attributes, “lightweight/commercial toughness/maneuverability”, to maximize customer value, and
5) launching a business plan to maintain its share of the Internet utility cart business.

With the growth in utility cart Internet sales for the month of December, Donson Supply is confident that 2006 will be a great new year.

Released by Donson Supply, Inc. to announce its intention to participation in the comparative shopping Internet sites for utility carts and other products.
