The Company

Since 1986, DHR & Co. has been a leading Southeastern resource for gift, decorative accessory and tabletop manufacturers and retailers.  And with good reason.  Owned and operated by industry veteran David Richardson, DHR & Co. consistently delivers the best in service, selection and sales support.  Consider these facts:

Solid Mart Presence

One of the largest lease-holders in the Atlanta Gift Mart, DHR & Co. operates an expansive 15,000-square-foot showroom on the 15^th floor.  Blending an extensive product selection with renowned Southern hospitality and an inviting showroom atmosphere, DHR & Co. has gained a solid reputation as a true destination showroom for the ever-growing buyer base attending Atlanta’s major markets.  To insure that customers receive the personal attention they need, 15-20 temporary sales people are stationed throughout the showroom during markets.  The showroom is also fully staffed and open five days a week for added buying convenience.

Unrivaled Coverage

All major accounts are personally handled by company Principal David Richardson and Liz Lacy, Vice President.   DHR & Co.’s twelve-member road sales team blankets the Southeastern region -- calling on the company’s extensive account base in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. 

Quality Customer Base

When you place your line with DHR & Co., you’re placing it in front of a targeted, qualified customer base. Running into the thousands and growing, DHR & Co.’s customer base includes mid to high-end specialty stores, mail order catalogs, jewelry stores, mass merchants, department stores and garden centers.

Cutting Edge Sales Support

To insure that customers’ showroom orders are handled quickly and efficiently, DHR & Co. has a state-of-the-art computer operation complete with scansystem.  In addition, a digital camera, scanner, CD read/write and color laser printer help create highly effective, professional presentations for sales representatives to use during store visits.  And, all road salespeople are equipped with laptops to use for store presentations and order placement.

Appealing Product Selection

Customer appeal and longevity.  Those are the two key things DHR & Co. looks for when selecting lines. Rather than emphasizing certain product categories, we’re constantly on the lookout for items we know will complement the merchandise mixes of our own customers.  What’s more, we strive to build enduring, strong working partnerships with our manufacturers.  To that end, many of our lines have been with us for more than 10 years.
