Commercial Downturns Are Cold, Brutal And With Some Luck Short,This One Is Shaping Up To Be Longer And Nastier Than Any Since The 1930s.

Commercial downturns are cold, brutal and hopefully short. This one is roughing up to be longer and nastier than any since the 1930s. It's a scary time for businesses in America. San Diego based International Bath and Tile believes that creativity and commitment are the best and most brave techniques for small enterprises to attain success in alarmed times.

International Bath & Tile (IBT) opened its doors in 1979, a year when the country was in the middle of another major depression. Today, IBT stays positive in the face of this current economic hurricane by saying it has launched a year-long celebrtation to mark its 33rd anniversary.

Family-managed and operated, World Bath & Tile has grown their business into San Diego's premier destination bath and tile showroom. The business in addition has built one of the Internet's biggest and most successful bath and do-it-yourself sites at Plumbtile.com. "There's a large amount of talk at this time about the tricky economy but IBT continues to find chances to revolutionize and thrive," claimed Clive Moch, President and Founding figure behind International Bath & Tile.

IBT continues to hold onto its share of the market despite the recession. "It takes effort and time to build a solid reputation," Moch asserted. "And in these turbulent times, we feel very fortunate to have won the loyalty and trust of San Diegans and of Net users outside of San Diego."

With larger companies struggling, firms like IBT see occasions to grow. The current statement from Seals to close all of their Southern Californian Standard of Excellence showrooms as a result of the weakened housing market and target their core business is an increasing trend.

Sears subsidiary, Appliance Builder Distributor has undegone many challenges in a changing market. In a letter to vendor partners, Seals ABD CEO Erik Hendrickson wrote, "We have had to resize our operating model to be more in keeping with the new facts facing our industry. Many of these challenges have never been more felt that inside Standards of Excllence South - from the fluctuating market, to the lack of sales, to leadership changes all of which have indirectly impacted the finanacial performance of the business."

In contrast, Moch asserts, "IBT has always targeted on luxury, hi-end design products, exceptional service with extensive product data and direct relations with manufacturers around the world.

"We have built long term relations with suppliers and offer many tough to find, exclusive products, as well as good classic brands at a great vlaue. Our experience in the decorative plumbing market spans thirty three years and it can't be done by just any person. We think our longevity shows that experience matters."

"We strive to be essential to our shoppers by offering top quality selection and unrivalled expertise," asserts Tammy Moch, VP of Sales and Marketing. "We serve a broad spectrum of customers, which requires very specialised service. Plenty of our purchasers are industry pros like Designers, Designers and Builders that demand a higher level of product information. While the classic homeowner needs more personalised help.

"We see this current economic environment as an opportunity to strengthen our customer relations and finally expand our business. Being an owner-operated company allows us to adjust to market changes more rapidly than larger corporations, whose bureaucracy cannot react as fast and finish up in trouble. Ultimately , this will benefit buyers because corporations will be forced to improve both consumer price and supplier relations or go out of business."

More than ever, small companies must be cutting edge and concentrate on their core strengths to survive the lean years and be well positioned when the economy turns around. Built on thirty three years of dedicated service to San Diegans and the Plumbtile.com website featuring over 300,000 unique bath, kitchen, home hardware and tile products, International Bath & Tile hopes to supply a lasting example for other little to medium sized businesses in this lengthened commercial slump.

Clive Moch is available to chat to businesses, business associations, chambers of commerce and other groups about innovation, commitment to consumers and devotion to quality as the keys to surviving the depression. Call IBT for more information.
