For over 28 years, Regent Products Corp. has become an industry leading domestic and direct import company serving the value-con- scious retailer. "We eat and breathe value priced merchandise, it's what we do," said Mike DePaul, Owner and President of Regent Products Corp., located near Chicago O'Hare Airport.

Regent's customer base includes inde- pendent operators, mass merchants, gro- cery, hardware and drug chains. They have all found that working with Regent Products Corp. gives them the edge they need in a competitive retail environment. Value price-point merchandise does not conflict with in-line programs; it actually increases sales by giving the customer the option to buy something. "We've been seeing an increase in demand from our customers for one to ten dollar price points," said Sales Manager Ken Soens. These simple price-points are easy for customers to understand and they "get it." It gives the customer a clear choice to evaluate the item and make a purchase. "Disposable income has shrunk and cus- tomers on a fixed income are watching the bottom line. Today, you can't ignore that important customer base." Regent Products offers many items in floor and counter displays or on pre- loaded merchandise- strips for easy set-up on the sales floor. Regent has built a reputation on competence and experi- ence, and the company is very proud of its national and international reputation.
