It has been a year since FSG “opened the doors” at FSG Storefront, our online store. For a growing list of customers, the experience of shopping online with FSG feels like the way things should have been all along. Our online store customers will be the first to tell you that the experience sure beats the big box blues.
For facility maintenance personnel, shopping for lighting components at the local big box retail store is an admission that something has gone terribly wrong. Somebody forgot to place an order, something happened to the delivery, or some other incident led you to the moment when you knew you were on your way to the land of high prices and low expectations.
These trips are emergency excursions, last-resort workarounds, and walking in the door you already know the consumer-grade products available there are, at best, only similar to what you really need for your commercial lighting application. On a day like this, close enough is good enough. (It’s OK, we’ve all been there.)
But ask any regular customer at FSG Storefront about their shopping experience, and you will begin to hear the sound of a completely different tune. We’re talking about toe-tappin’, good time party music.
Stop Looking for Solutions With an “A to Z” Approach
While many business owners have said “never again” to the big box approach, they are still far from happy with the alternatives they have found online. Global “A to Z” online retailers and so-called “specialty product” websites talk a good game, but they fail to deliver lasting value.
Sure, top-line price is a major consideration, and only a foolhardy business owner would neglect to consider product cost. But there are other important factors built into the overall value calculation that “click-N-ship” online retailers are simply not set up to deliver.
When was the last time you had an excellent customer service experience regarding the return of a damaged product? Do you have a winning relationship with your personal algorithm?
As a business owner with other things to do, is it a good use of your time to spend hours parsing through customer product reviews, looking for assurance before you click the fateful button? When your lighting product fails or underperforms, will it matter that “BigDaddyJoe in Ohio” thought it was a good idea?
READ: WHY YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR LIGHTING PRODUCTS FROM ELECTRICIANS
Most likely, if you source lighting products from online retailers that can also sell you comic books and seat belt roller-uppers, you already know something is missing. Every time you click that “Buy Now” button, you do so without the one thing you really need: confidence. Â
When the Light Finally Comes On
If you’re like most people, life has come at you with learning curves. Sometimes the hard lessons show up back-to-back for a while, and you have to experience what you don’t want before you can say for sure what you really do want.
Maybe you have given up on the idea that you can find the right commercial lighting products at a great price, that you can purchase them with complete confidence, and that you can count on them to be there every time you need them.
Hard experience has led you to this realization: You need to buy your lighting products from lighting designers and electricians who understand the products and the ways you need to use them.
Additionally, you need a partner to help you manage the ongoing lighting needs at your facility, someone who can guide you on matters including product selection, procurement, distribution, rebates, warranties, and more.
We are so glad you are here. Come on in. Have a seat. Let’s talk about the smart way to buy commercial lighting products for your business.
FSG Storefront is the Answer
When it comes to buying lighting products, big-box retailers and mega-mart e-commerce sites are not the answer for local contractors and small business owners. If lighting products are on your shopping list, you need a provider that can focus on your specific needs.
The first thing you’ll notice about FSG Storefront is that providing for your facility’s lighting needs is all we do. Our company was built to support your business in this specific way.

When you shop for your lighting products at FSG Storefront, you won’t have to worry about all the things you don’t know about lighting. And you will not have to trust an anonymous online reviewer (who may or may not be related to the manufacturer).

Whether you manage a warehouse facility, a retail store, a restaurant, or an indoor vertical farm, the routine procurement of the specialty lighting products you rely upon can be expertly managed through the FSG Storefront. Our product list anticipates your needs and fulfills your unique performance requirements.
But beyond product specifications, we offer perhaps the most important element when it comes to making a purchasing decision: confidence. When you buy your lighting products from the FSG Online Store, you will have the confidence that comes from knowing your lighting products are the same ones used by our lighting and electrical teams on jobs across the country every day.
