ShadeTree Canopies’ retractable awnings is excited to announce their VIP (Vendor Installed Program) partnership with Ace Hardware. Late this summer, ShadeTree’s overhead retractable awnings and shade canopies were test marketed through Ace retail stores and the results were highly favorable for both parties. News of this pilot program was recently announced through a press release providing details of the program.

This VIP program allows Ace to leverage their reputation of superior service in conjunction with ShadeTree’s turnkey, sales and installation program. With a national network of local sales representatives and installers, ShadeTree can provide personal service including home visits, measuring and design service, as well as installation. Additionally, the Ace stores provide a local “showroom” for prospects to see the product before making a purchase decision.

“ShadeTree was an important participant in our program. We’ve been pleased with the interest and the addition to our outdoor space,” said Amy Pallerito, LBM manager at Ace Hardware Corp. “The retractable awnings and shade canopies create a nice themed look in the store and create a beautiful ‘outdoor room’ for cross merchandising grills and patio furniture and accessories.”

Ace Hardware isn’t alone in sharing their excitement for the opportunity. Dwayne Williams, President of ShadeTree, announced encouraging results from their pilot program at Ace stores in Columbus, OH and LaGrange, IL in late summer. “We were thrilled to be part of the vendor program with Ace Hardware as it is showing much encouragement with late season sales within the last couple months,” said Williams.

With this type of activity, life at ShadeTree Canopies retractable awnings has been quite interesting and will continue to do so with partners such as Ace Hardware.
