Halitron recently
announced its acquisition of iDealFurniture, LLC, a national network of
independent furniture brokers. Through the acquisition, Halitron now controls a
collection of over 40 established web properties, as well as 17 Regional Market
Developers, 45 Distribution Centers and over 250 brokers with initial sales in
2014 totaling $800,000.
The iDealFurniture
business model is very attractive in that it leverages a large and growing
field force of independently owned territories with online marketing and
educational tutorials. Halitron expects to begin with the acquisition and
conversion of independent brick and mortar furniture stores, which have been
struggling throughout the nation in recent years. By increasing its network of
locations, the company hopes that iDealFurniture will become a recognizable
name in the United States in as little as five years.
“Over 75% of small
independent stores have closed down since 2008,” said Bernard Findley, Chief
Executive Officer of Halitron. “By leveraging our existing resources on the
marketing side with the buying power of a single buying agent in
iDealFurniture, we expect sales growth in the future.”
iDealFurniture’s
business model has involved the sale of home based businesses, regional
territories and distribution centers, as well as a commission-based program for
the sale of products throughout the company’s network. Unlike independent
furniture stores, iDealFurniture provides its brokers with the opportunity to
avoid massive overhead costs and excess inventory in order to allow for a
profitable business from the very beginning.
“The brick and
mortar furniture retailers have had a very difficult period due to the economy
and expensive retail setup and operations,” stated iDealFurniture President,
John Bellave. By creating a low cost solution and allowing the entrepreneur to
leverage the purchasing power of the company’s established marketing conduits,
Halitron, through its recent acquisition, creates a more practical solution for
a large market of entrepreneurs looking to develop a more sustainable retail
solution.
Unlike other
sectors, brick and mortar furniture sales remain strong despite rapid ecommerce
growth. According to studies by Furniture/Today, as many as 47% of consumers
say that they’d never buy a sofa online, and approximately 72% of all shoppers
still prefer to shop for furniture in physical stores. With this data in mind,
the future looks bright for the company, which plans to release an updated
mission statement and strategic plan in the coming weeks.
Halitron completed
the acquisition of iDealFurniture in exchange for the issuance of 20,689,655
common stock shares, along with up to 5,000,000 options with a December 31,
2015 strike price of $0.052 based on the achievement of unspecified financial
milestones.
