30 SECOND PITCH

Business to Business: “Maintaining quality is our job spreading it is yours.”

Whatever happened to restoring something we love versus buying another one?  Time and time again, we search for new leather products, why? Because its cracks and breaks down,sometimes as as soon a month after we get it.  Leather has a break in period with couches, gloves, boots, jackets and more we all look forward to when it is done, it’s soft, comfortable, and in the case of a boot nomore blisters. So, the hope is to let your leather products last,  as long as possible.  Leather is not cheap and to prevent all the expensive unfortunate mishaps Huberd’s leather conditioner benefits your wallet and your general comfort.

TAG LINESBusiness to Consumer: “Let your leather last as long as our brand!”
