Progress Lighting Joins HomeSphere

Today, Lakewood-based HomeSphere announced Progress Lighting will join its growing digital lead-generation and customer loyalty platform, opening up new revenue opportunities for the brand.

Progress Lighting, with one of the industry’s largest selections of fixture styles and complementary designs, joins more than 70 preferred manufacturers using HomeSphere and its industry-first digital marketing services to connect with a growing network of mid-tier builders. HomeSphere’s extensive, mid-sized builder network is staged to construct nearly 20 percent of the total new single-family homes forecast in 2013.

“Builders in today’s market want custom lighting packages to meet project needs,” said Progress Lighting Manager of Builder Sales and Marketing Lance Smith. “HomeSphere’s industry-first digital solutions are an ideal means for introducing mid-sized builders to our company and its wide range of custom, energy-efficient offerings.”

By connecting the homebuilding universe – including top product manufacturers, mid-tier builders and service providers – more directly through technology, HomeSphere creates measurable business opportunities for all of its partners.

HomeSphere’s network of privately owned builders can now use HomeSphere to gain knowledge of Progress Lighting’s full line of residential and light commercial products and manage their cash-producing rebates, helping them to improve their bottom line and grow efficiencies through an automated, consolidated solution.

“Progress Lighting is a storied, well-respected brand,” said HomeSphere Vice President of Sales Chris Toth. “We are pleased to offer its top-ranked, industry-awarded products to our builders and align with the company’s strong performance well into the future.”
