Hunter Douglas Promo, IFDA, Duralee Furniture

Lots of promotions this week!

First...to the designer who was looking for a round leather ottoman with a shelf below...I found another one, only I do not remember who you were! Call Vicki if you are still searching.

Our Duralee Fine Furniture seminar was a great success--thanks to all who attended. As those who were at the seminar know, Owner Select is made by Duralee, but is smaller scale, more traditional and can be totally customized. In addition, if you like, you can have them create an embroidered version of your logo for a one time charge of $80 (not the $175 we were initially told!). This can then be applied to any item for $25 apiece. If it is a loose cushion item, the logo will appear on the deck, under the cushion. If it is a tight item, like a side chair or ottoman, it will appear on the black cambric fabric that covers the bottom. This is a wonderful way to promote your business. To help you do this, CDT will provide you with 2 $40 rebate coupons that can be used on future Owner Select items. The rebate coupons will be good for one year from date of purchase. Duralee and Owner Select are both made from lumber to finishing touches in the USA. Best of all, they are NOT available in stores, so your clients cannot shop you.

Ficks Reed has a number of items that are available while supplies last at an additional 25% off. Ask Vicki or Camille for details.

Artifacts has a list of items available with quicker than normal ship times. Again, see us for details.

Hunter Douglas will have a child safety promotion beginning September 25- Nov 17. With any purchase of Duette or Applause honeycomb shades, you can receive a free LITE RISE cordless lift system. You can pick up a rebate form and instructions at CDT. Remember to stress the importance of child safety at the window, and take advantage of this promotion.

IFDA will be sponsoring "All About Green" at the ADC on October 30. I do not have firm details yet, but watch this space for times etc. The speaker will be Beth Green from Kravet. Lunch will be served, and there will be tables in the hall featuring green products and info.

IFDAs "Design Therapy" for September will be at CAI at 5:30 Sept. 30. All are welcome.

Remember to check out the wonderful Charles Faudree collection at CDT. You can qualify for a free copy of his latest book, or purchase one at a discount at CDT.
