Blish-Mize opportunity programs give independent retailers ready-made ways to add departments, reach new customers and grow sales — from parts and rental to housewares, industrial, automotive and office supplies.
Online Parts Program
PartScription
PartScription gives customers access to over 8 million quality parts and accessories for the valuable items all around the home. Find parts and accessories for appliances, home electronics and lawn and garden needs.
Trusty Helper Rental Program
Rental Program
By adding a rental department to your hardware business, you're tapping into an over $15 billion rental industry. A rental department boosts sales, opens up "project" add-on sales, increases customer frequency and makes your store a one-stop shop for light contractors and experienced DIY hobbyists.
Retailers with rental departments attract new customers and improve cash flow while increasing sales of accessory and impulse items — a service-oriented niche that few big box chains offer. Ask your Blish-Mize sales representative about the Trusty Helper Rental Program.
