NAPERVILLE, Ill., May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hammer Source, found at
http://www.hammersource.com, announced that it now has over 500 different
hammers available on its web site. A dot com company that has thrived and
survived beyond the Internet bust, The Hammer Source has taken the phrase
"taking a pounding" to a new level. The Naperville, Illinois start up company
has been banging away at finding new customers since the owners, Jennifer and
Andrew Ayers bought the 70-year-old company five years ago.
"We began operations with fifteen hammers. Last July we started selling
on our web site and immediately got new customers", says Jennifer, who is the
company's sole "web mistress". "Now we have over 500 different specialty
hammers for industry, tradesmen and hobbyists and we are adding new customers
and hammers every day".
Since placing on-line advertisements, The Hammer Source has gone from
selling everyday hammers to filling special requests for manufacturing
companies, military applications, construction and mining, and automobile
factories. "We have sold hammers for nuclear submarines, rock sculptors,
silversmiths, carpenters, and boat yards. Every day we hear about a new
hammer that we never knew about," says Andrew also known to his customers as
"The Hammerman."
The Hammer Source has gone international due to exposure on the web. They
now have customers in Canada and Europe. "Exporting and importing are almost
unavoidable in today's business environment," says Andrew. "Not everyone in
the world has a hardware store in their neighborhood, and if they do, they
can't find 500 hammers there."
Purchasing departments for big companies now look to the web when their
local industrial distributor doesn't have what they need. "It is amazing when
a Fortune 500 company tells me that they have been searching all over for
something, and they find us with the hammer they need," says Andrew, "The
industrial purchasing landscape is changing and we are here to help".
