How do I know if a project is a national account, and who should I contact for pricing?
If a project involves a national account, Bock Lighting cannot provide pricing directly. National accounts are managed through certified national account distributors to ensure uniform pricing across all locations. Common national account distributors include Villa Lighting, Loeb Electric, Leff Electric, Hermitage Lighting, Capitol Light, Regency Lighting, Standard Electric, Facility Solutions Group, and others depending on the specific chain.
To determine if a project is a national account, check the lighting schedule or project specifications for the designated distributor. If you're unsure, contact Bock Lighting with the project name and location, and they can confirm the status and direct you to the appropriate distributor. Some well-known national accounts include Wendy’s, Charley’s Philly Steaks, Abercrombie & Fitch, Dunkin’, Dave & Busters, Macy’s, and Amazon.
In some cases, even if a project is a national account, you may be able to quote it through your distributor—provided you adhere to strict pricing rules (e.g., no overage, fixed pricing). Always verify with Bock whether a specific project qualifies.
