Washington, DC (May 3, 2017) — In just six months, nearly 500 outdoor power equipment dealers have been added to Propane Equipment Dealer Point. The free, searchable, online database, located at propane.com/dealer-point, allows landscape contractors to find local, knowledgeable dealers committed to selling propane-fueled mowers. The tool was launched last summer by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). 
“That so many applications were submitted in such a short time shows that dealers see the value of being listed in the database as a way to drive more customers through their doors while differentiating their product offerings from the surrounding competition,” said Jeremy Wishart, PERC deputy director of business development. “Plus, contractors now have a way to easily find a local dealer who can provide real details about propane equipment and partner with them on the path to fleet conversion.”
Dealer Point is more than an online dealer Rolodex. Every equipment dealer listed in the database is vetted by a series of questions prior to listing so contractors know they are contacting a dealer with a legitimate interest in selling propane equipment, in addition to the ability to answer their questions about the fuel.
A recent survey conducted by PERC showed Dealer Point is positioned to continue adding dealers with knowledge of propane equipment. More than 60 percent of dealers surveyed in 2016 said they expected to offer propane equipment in the next three years. Dealers from 47 states are currently listed in the database and several states have dozens of signups already listed. Pennsylvania has more than 40 dealers listed. Texas has more than 30, while Florida, California, and Indiana all have more than 20 dealers listed.
