MANTELMOUNT JOINS UNITED BUYERS GROUP AS MANUFACTURER PARTNER
Company Will Make Its Pulldown Mounts Available to UBG’s 290 Dealer-Members;
Product is “Perfect Fit” for Above-Fireplace Mounting
CARLSBAD, CA (June 24, 2021) – MantelMount, the premier, award-winning mounting option for flatscreen televisions, has become a manufacturer partner for the United Buyers Group (UBG).
Formed in 2000, UBG uses its dealer-members’ combined purchasing power to negotiate special deals with select manufacturers and suppliers. UBG also strives to be a conduit for select manufacturer partners to connect with the best hearth dealers in North America, helping them penetrate the market with their product, to increase market share and profitability.
MantelMount’s role as a manufacturer partner is a perfect fit for both the company and UBG. MantelMount’s pulldown, tilt-and-swivel TV wall mounts are ideally suited for high-on-the-wall installations, especially over a fireplace. Since UBG unites a network of more than 285 Specialty Fireplace Stores across the United States and Canada, MantelMount has the opportunity to connect with a group of dealers who can subsequently offer the company’s full line of manual and automated mounts to a highly targeted audience.
For UBG, being able offer a high-quality, hearth-related product represents a potentially significant new revenue stream. What’s more, the buying power of UBG will allow the group to purchase the mounts at a very favorable price point, further increasing profit margins.
According to Lee Marc, CEO of MantelMount, the specialty fireplace and hearth dealer-members of UBG now have access to a product unlike any available to them before. “Let’s say a customer has just bought a new fireplace or some other related accessory, or has just installed a new hearth,” he said. “The dealer asks if they have a TV mounted over the fireplace. If they do, he or she can start talking about MantelMount.
“In our experience, we’ve found that many people don’t even know a product like ours exists,” he added. “Once they hear about it, it practically sells itself.”
Mounting a flatscreen television above a fireplace is a hugely popular option for many homeowners. For some, it’s the only open space large enough to accommodate today’s larger units. Plus, unlike in years past, some people enjoy positioning their TV as the focal point of the room, given that the new, sleeker designs make them virtual works of art.
MantelMount units allow users to put their TV’s high on a wall (such as over a fireplace), pull them down to eye level, then return them to their original position. This not only helps enhance the viewing experience by putting TV at eye level (the perfect viewing height) but also eliminates the neck and eye strain from watching a TV that is mounted too high.
