Bangor, ME (1888PressRelease)
November 04, 2009 - To respond to popular consumer demand, the team at The Lighthouse based in Kennebunk, Maine, has launched Doorbells Direct (www.doorbellsdirect.com) in an effort to fulfill an increasing need for a source to purchase doorbells for personal use. The website was conceptualized in late 2008 and went live in Mid-June 2009.
“Doorbells Direct has been very successful in meeting the needs of homeowners, apartment investors, hotel managers and real estate agents in their search for doorbells,” founder Tim Fossett said.
“We had many of our retail customers come into our storefront in Kennebunk, Maine looking for door bells and door chimes, including wireless doorbells, as they were unsatisfied with the limited number of choices that they were able to find in the “big box” stores, or unable to find suitable doorbells altogether. Thus, we saw an underserved niche and we pursued it.” according to Fossett.
The parent company of Doorbells Direct, is also The Lighthouse, a well known national wholesaler of Broan and Nutone products, as well as a full-line residential lighting showroom in Kennebunk, Maine. The company also owns Crescent Harbor (www.crescentharbor.com), one of the most nationally respected internet retailers focused on high-end traditional lighting fixtures, as well as Crescent Harbor Kids, (www.crescentharborkids.com), devoted to Children’s Lighting, Housewares, and Home Furnishings.
Doorbells Direct has been very well received by the American public, shipping hundreds of orders monthly to all 50 states, including pushbuttons, wireless pushbuttons, wired doorbells, Westminster door chimes, intercom systems, and other in-house home communication systems.
“Doorbells Direct has certainly exceeded our expectations,” Fossett said, “We started this business on a shoestring and now it has certainly come into its own. Perhaps even more rewarding is when a customer calls in and places and order with us and mentions what a difficult time they have had locating a doorbell, and we are very happy to fill that need with one of our quality products. That has been the most rewarding part of this whole process – helping the consumer get what they want at an affordable price with no hassle.”
