Great deals are now available from Century!
From February 1-15, save an additional 10% on all Signature Upholstery!
Dozens of chairs, settees, sofas and ottomans in traditional, transitional and contemporary styling. Each piece is made to order with numerous custom options and available for delivery in 4-6 weeks. This is Century's finest quality, replete with flow matching, expert craftsmanship and available with over 60 frame finishes to choose from.
In addition, there are great savings to be had on hundreds of stocked and finished items ranging from 10% up to 50%. We have a large white binder in the showroom filled with overstock, discontinued items and other opportunities to save-or earn extra profits! Quantities on individual items are limited, so act fast to take advantage of these great deals.
Hooker has introduced some wonderful new youth bedroom groups.
We are really pleased with the way they have filled this void in their product mix. Some collections are wood stained, some come in black or white. Some are very "girlie" others are perfect for a growing boy. There are student desks with hutches, trundle beds and all the other items you need to do a gorgeous room for a great Hooker Price. I should point out that most of these collections, while geared toward the younger set, are NOT childish and could be used in almost any bedroom setting.
Take advantage of the CDT BLOG
As some of you are aware, each of our newsletters and weekly updates is posted on the CDT Blog. If you go to our website, www.chicagodesignteam.com and look along the top of the homepage, you will see the "Blogger "tab. If you click on this, you will see all of our past communication, with the most recent item first. You can use this to review things, or hunt down info you remember reading but can't remember the details. You can also use this tool to communicate with other designers in a secure manner. For example, if you love Century Signature furniture, you can post a reply to this e-mail. It will appear on the blog. Others can then respond. If you are looking for an intern, or a workroom, you can send us an e-mail and Andrea (aka: tech support) will convert it to a notice that others can respond to without going through CDT email. This could be a great communication and networking tool. You could also share photos of your work.
One of our goals this year is to start making better use of the tools we have at our disposal that will help our business grow. We invite you to join us!
Meanwhile, you can see the photos of our staff Christmas party.

WE DO NOT HAVE DETAILS ON THE UPCOMING "PREMIERS" SESSIONS. STAY TUNED---WE SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING SOON.
If you would like to learn about hard window coverings, or need a refresher, you should plan to attend. Some of you pass these sales on to your workrooms or installers. This is walking away from easy money. EVERY DESIGNER should have the full array of Hunter Douglas products as part of their arsenal. They are energy efficient, some are "green" and they make designing draperies so much easier. Consider how much more creative you can be with your draperies if they do not have to be operable. A beautiful Silhouette, Woven Texture, Vignette or other product can give your client privacy and light control, and you can work your magic with the over treatments. Remember that there are generous rebates available this spring, so this is a great time to begin or to increase your Hunter Douglas sales.
Remember, CDT has a measure and installation service available to you, so all you need to do is select the product that will give your client the look they need.
Duette is the most energy saving product on the market...a fact that is sure to appeal to the husbands
Don't forget our "Because We Love You" Valentines Day sales training seminar. You will learn tips on business planning, goal setting, marketing and closing. As always, we will provide goodies to help keep those brains functioning...like Wendy's Valentine cookies!
Wednesday, February 18, 5-7 pm at CDT. Please arrive promptly, and RSVP as soon as possible.
We will help you close those sales, and complete your rebate forms, so stop in soon!
Thanks to everyone for reading this message, and for working hard to grow your business. Have a great weekend.
