Thanks for the info. I think it is a great idea. I think the key for you is going to find a niche - the other company you provided a link to looked like they covered the spectrum. I would consider making two sites one that would appeal to the local tastes and products and position yourself as the local expert - visit showroom etc. I would then see what sells best and then try creating niche sites focusing on those products so when people search for that particular product they will view you as experts.
