FMI Products Joins HomeSphere

    DENVER, CO, November 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- FMI Products and Lakewood-based HomeSphere, Inc. announced today they have entered into a joint agreement to offer FMI's gas and wood fueled hearth products to HomeSphere's network of builders using HomeSphere's technology-driven solutions.

FMI joins more than 75 manufacturing brands currently using HomeSphere's BRI lead generation and marketing program to produce new builder leads and strengthen existing business, thus growing their market share through increased homebuilder sales.

"BRI is a powerful marketing tool," said Glenn Thompson, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FMI Products. "By offering product rebates on BRI, FMI Products gain brand awareness with over 1,100 BRI members, including mid-tier builders we otherwise couldn't reach."

BRI is a unique Web-based application serving the residential construction industry. Manufacturers use the BRI service to open sales channels with thousands of homebuilders and remodeling contractors, gaining inroads to new accounts and building recognition for their products and services. Builders, on the other hand, gain product knowledge and manage their cash-producing rebates, helping them to improve their bottom line.

Recognized worldwide as a leader in design and production of gas and wood fueled hearth products, FMI also provides professional builders with exceptional service and an outstanding support team.

"FMI's products are seen as innovative and advanced in the hearth market," said Chris Toth, Vice President of Sales for HomeSphere. "This partnership provides opportunities for our builder members to access new products and for FMI to grow and strengthen their relationship with the homebuilding industry."
