Reshare’s patented business method lies at the center of Lighting Gateway's e-commerce strategies. It enables Lighting manufacturers (called “vendor suppliers” in the industry) to market and sell their products in the online marketplace, directly to end users without circumventing or alienating retail intermediaries. “Reshare’s software assures retailers like Gabberts equitable treatment and compensation from vendor/suppliers who want to respond to consumer demand for direct access to their products via the world wide web and vendor manufacturers' websites," says Gabbert.

Jim Gabbert is one of the most respected and successful businessmen in the furniture industry today, widely regarded by this $81 billion industry as a top thinker with a progressive attitude. With stores in Minneapolis, Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas, Gabberts currently employs 500+ Associates and has annual sales over $80 Million. Jim's extensive industry knowledge and involvement include Board positions on the National Home Furnishings Association dating back to 1988. Jim has received numerous awards and accolades for his involvement and leadership in the industry and community at large. Jim has served on Reshare’s advisory board for many years and recognized the market was ready for their technology in the Decorative Lighting Industry earlier this year. Gabbert continues to lead the management team at Gabberts, however is also engaged in the role of leading the management team at Lighting Gateway. “Gabbert’s seasoned management team is highly organized, operationally astute and out-performing my expectations. This frees me up to add another leadership role by chairing LGI,” says Gabbert.

James Fleming has been named President of LGI by Gabbert, who said, “James was the first person I thought of to hold this post and I have every confidence in his ability to succeed”. James has held leadership roles within the Decorative Lighting & Home Decor Industries for 25 years. A pioneer in the creative merchandising of lighting showrooms with decorative accessories, James has won the prestigious Decorative Home Accents Association-ART award more times than any other lighting professional. James has owned and/or operated businesses in the industry as a Manufacturers Representative, Lighting Retailer/Buyer and VP Sales Marketing & Product Development for Manufacturer/Vendor Suppliers. His nationally acclaimed merchandising strategies implemented at Farrey’s Design Galleries, were instrumental in launching the national rollouts of the new “Home Design” retail store models of; “The Great Indoors” by Sears, and “EXPO Design Centers” by Home Depot. James has served on the boards of the American Lighting Association and ART for many years.

LGI plans on attending the upcoming Lighting and Accessories Show in Dallas, TX later this month to unveil its plans to industry leaders. It is currently in development of its industry portal, lightropolis.com and corporate website, lightinggateway.com.

Jeff Ehrmann, Reshare’s President stated, “The strategic alliance with LGI is imperative to our success in the Lighting Industry.
