HHR: What does Voxx Accessories bring to the table for hardware retail- ers? DG: We offer growth potential in areas where hardware retailers aren't taking full advantage of their opportunities for sales. For exam- ple, as outdoor living has become more important to consumers, hardware stores have had success with store areas devoted to products for decks, patios, and back- yards in general. But there's another component to out- door living that consumers want and that we can deliv- er: music! Our wireless speakers were designed from the ground-up to complement the styles of outdoor décor. If hardware retailers feature our wireless speakers as part of their outdoor living offering, consumers understand the proposition instantly; and the retailer makes an addi- tional sale. HHR: But why shouldn't the retailer merchandise wire- less speakers with other electronics products?

HHR: What products do you see as being hottest this year? Continued on Page 37 If you've never owned a hot tub before, you may ask yourself if a spa is something you really need. There are pros and cons to being a hot tub owner, but overwhelm- ingly, the answer is a resounding "yes." Investing in a hot tub is sure to add to your quality of life. It can improve your health, increase mental and emotional relaxation and enhance your relationship. After a short soak in the therapeutic water, you'll feel better, sleep better and live better. To some, the expense and hassle of a lengthy installation process deters from the attraction. The sim- plest way to eliminate these obstacles is to choose a portable spa versus a permanently installed hot tub. A portable spa comes with all the advantages of a perma- nent spa, but contributes none of the inconvenience. A portable spa won't interfere if you move, travel a lot or update your garden or patio design. Simply take your tub along or move it around to suit your needs. The TheraPureSpa portable, inflatable hot tub takes the portable spa convenience one step further.
