2005 HPBA Consumer Research

Do you know what grill inventory to buy next season?

This every-two-year survey monitors the trends in consumer desires for their outdoor cooking. Did you know that one-third of gas grill owners report repair problems? Is this an opportunity for you? Should you sell more quality grills or start a grill repair business? The pace of grill purchasing is up and so is the price. With over one-third of grill owners using dry rubs, does that give you an add-on sale opportunity? Who in the family initiates the grill purchase? Is there an opportunity to sell two grills to a family?
