Keep the opening offer understandable
Hardware-store buyers usually do better with a simple, mainstream family-use lineup than an overly broad catalog. Clear sizes, recognizable shapes, and visible parts-support logic matter more than trying to offer every niche model immediately.
Use support logic as part of merchandising
A store program is stronger when staff can explain not just what the trampoline is, but also how the line is supported after sale. Replacement-parts planning and a clear quote route strengthen the retailer story.
