"We’re getting closer to the point where, for the first time in our history, the number of adults aged 65 and older will outnumber children aged 18 and under."

Alternative living environments that might better accommodate the evolving housing needs of this aging population often are not available. This situation is in part due to a lack of affordable options, but it’s also coupled with the fact that current mortgage rates are keeping many owners locked into their current home.

❗️ Channel diversification reduces your risk ❗️

"Today, independent flooring dealers cannot afford to remain dependent on residential retail traffic alone. By cultivating Main Street commercial accounts, they diversify risk, secure larger and more frequent jobs and build recurring revenue streams that directly improve net profit."
