With 82 brand new vendors on the market floor, the House-Hasson Summer 2023 Splash of Savings Dealer Market was hot with product deals and savings. House-Hasson dealers from around the country made the trip to the Sevierville Convention Center in Sevierville, Tennessee, for the event, which took place June 16 and 17.
“Dealer attendance was strong at House-Hasson’s Splash of Savings market, and the aisles on the show floor were full of activity,” says Pat McCutcheon, House-Hasson vice president of sales. “Dealers from Florida to Pennsylvania to Texas enjoyed the fantastic deals and the beautiful setting in Sevierville.”
Many of the new vendors were in the outdoor living and automotive categories, which are also the fastest-growing categories for House-Hasson dealers, McCutcheon says.
“Our dealer base is expanding automotive offerings beyond just convenience automotive,” McCutcheon says. “Outdoor grilling and furniture continue to be one of the fastest-growing categories for us.”
The House-Hasson summer dealer market featured favorites like the Bonus Buy Breakfasts, where a capacity crowd enjoyed exclusive deals and a delicious breakfast. The room was also packed for the Friday night dinner and entertainment with comedian/magician Dewayne Hill.
“Overall, it was a great event,” McCutcheon says. “Vendor feedback was very positive, and they reported robust sales.”
The next dealer market, “Rake in the Savings,” will take place Oct. 5-7 at the Sevierville Convention Center.
