Accessorize with Eve

We had a cool thing happen here that we thought we would share with all of you. Perhaps it might inspire you to try something similar.

A designer, one of our regulars was in one day last week. She does some accessorizing, but not on a real regular basis. While waiting for her memos, she got talking to Eve, our accessory magician, and the designer mentioned that the client was having a party...maybe she should take some accessories--just for the heck of it.

They walked the showroom, and Eve made all kinds of suggestions. The designer took over $2200 in accessories. Only one item came back!!! Talk about easy money--$880 in profit! Talk about great customer service. Think about how long and how much work it would be for the customer, to do that on her own. Or for the designer to shop around!

At CDT we try to carry accessories that are reasonably priced, and that could work well in a variety of rooms.
We've said it before, but it bears repeating...if you are not accessorizing your clients homes, you are doing both of you a disservice. If you are unsure of this aspect of our business, Eve would be thrilled to help you, as would the rest of our staff. Try taking out a carload...sooner or later, you'll get the sale!
