Business Success for Fabricators – Adding value to the Stone Industry
As a stone fabricator, I remember searching for events such as Business Success for Fabricators during our early years in business and finding none. During the early 2000's the number of granite fabricators throughout the Country grew exponentially. Sad to say with no professional skills training or technical support, leading to all sorts of misfortunes and losses.
The past couple of years have certainly being tough for the stone industry. The support given to the stone fabricators by MIA and The Stone Magazine by bringing education for the stone fabricators definitely gives everyone great expectations and the skills much needed for the current economic scenario.
Running a granite fabrication shop is a huge investment and with the overhead costs are extremely high as well. Therefore in order to stay in business long term is essential for fabricators to understand business management and how to handle the new market reality.
Many fabricators today are faced with lots of challenges in order to keep their doors open. For many, fighting the unfair battle for the most competitive price on their local market, has become a dreadful reality that has led a large number of shops to close their doors for good due to such small profit margins. The price competition in many States are what I would call "unrealistic ".
A huge price decline for products and services has happened for the industry since late 2007 forcing many small to under price their products and services and ended up giving their hard work away, just to keep their business afloat. Business management education and professional qualification are the main areas of the industry that once addressed will to create the successful mentality necessary in order to establish the real market value for Stone Counter tops. Business Success for Stone Fabricators is definitely paving the way.
By attending the Business Success for Fabricators, stone fabricators are learning through other successful stone professionals how to run a profitable fabrication company. Other important topics for fabricators are: the basics of how to market their companies, financial benchmarking, installations tips and equipment needs.
Participants also have the chance to network and learn from each other. By having stone fabricators and several Stone Distributors under one roof for a full day workshop will also be a great networking opportunity for the attendees creating tremendous Business Success for Fabricators .
