  • Promoting Your Store Right in Your Hometown !
    Real People. Real Help. Real Close. Promoting Your Store Right in Your Hometown ! To All Illinois Hardware Dealers: In 2008, MHA launched a special program for our Wisconsin members called My Local Hardware Store!™. The goal: help stores move beyond traditional product and price advertising and communicate your unique advantages of service, convenience, product knowledge, and local ownership. Clearly, these are the independent hardware retailer’s benefit over big box competitors. MHA aired commercials on radio stations across the state, primarily using the Green Bay Packers broadcasts and programming. We got very positive responses from consumers, participating stores, and the industry. In 2009, we want to offer a similar program for TM Illinois MHA members. The following pages outline our proposed program with the University of Illinois football broadcasts on radio stations across the state. Participating stores will have their store name, location, and owner/manager’s name included in radio commercials that air on their local radio stations carrying University of Illinois football broadcasts. The program would begin in early September and run through November 2009. Take time to read through the following pages and then fill in the final page and fax it back to MHA as soon as possible. We need your response no later than June 15, 2009. This is a special opportunity to use the power of your association to promote what your store does best, to a large audience, branding your store right in your home town. As always, we welcome your questions and comments at Midwest Hardware Association at 1-800-888-1817.

  • Super Bowl IV
    The Look Man Report 2006 Week XI: Black Rain "We won the NFC championship with Rex. Give him a break. Give him a break ... You sure don't hear that type of [criticism] when Tom Brady has a bad game or when Peyton Manning has a bad game." - Bears DE Alex Brown OPENING It is said that Hiroshima encountered a very strange atmospheric phenomenon following the atomic bomb detonation in 1945. The skies opened up, putting an end to the sweltering heat that had been exacerbated by the Bomb. Unfortunately, instead of a cleansing rain, all of the dust thrown into the sky caused the rain to turn black. The 1989 Ridley Scott joint, Black Rain, featuring the original Jack Bauer - - - Michael Douglas, focused upon the impact on modern day Asian culture. Well, the rain was more purple than black in Miami, but the showdown between the first two bald NFL head coaches was also memorable. Unless you count Hank Stram and Bud Grant in Super Bowl IV. The NFL no longer promotes erectile dysfunction drugs, but Hair Club for Men missed a great marketing opportunity on Sunday. The 92-yard kickoff return to open the show rivaled Billy Crystal’s Oscar opener featuring Crystal as Hannibal Lecter. Too bad the rest of the game was pretty pedestrian based upon bad weather conditions and the implosion of Grossman. The game was touted as a matchup between Indy’s Peyton Manning and Chicago LB Brian Urlacher. But, like all football games, it really came down to the guys in the pits.
