How time flies! Seems like I just did this.
As a reminder, please SIGN IN when you visit the showroom. We know some of you hate it (don't understand why) but it helps us in many ways. We track our traffic and sales, and it is very instructive to see what happens from day to day and month to month. It helps us learn names and remember conversations and who we had them with. We do not EVER share your information with outside vendors, and as I said, it is helpful in many ways. Please humor us in this small matter--so "enter and sign in please."
If you know what that quote is from, you are as old as I am, if not older!!! You young'uns, take my word for it, and SIGN IN!! Thanks!
We continue to get rave reviews for the Deborah Flate Seminars. Tess Horak of Inventive Interiors by Tess told us that she has participated in other coachings and that she learned more in the first class than she had in an entire series! Similar comments have come from other participants. If there is interest, we can consider doing a second series in the spring. Let us know if you would like to be on the list of possible participants. Details on the location of the remaining classes is on the schedule at right. If you need further guidance, just call us. From now on the LCD projector and screen will be used, and the room will be set up classroom style with tables, so note taking will be easier.
Among the topics of ChrisAnn Komosa's Hunter Douglas seminar is coordinating Skyline with Designer Screen and Roller shades, Pirouette, a new program from Chalet Woods and ways use upgrades to increase your profits. Designer Screen shades and Pirouette are very hot right now so don't miss this. This class is aimed at the things that seem to "fall through the cracks" when selling hard window coverings. Call us to RSVP.
Recliners!
Some of you may have seen the article in the October 21 Daily Herald called "Recliner no Decliner". According to the article, Furniture Today reported that despite the overall downturn in furniture sales, recliner sales have increased in 2009 and are projected to climb in 2010! This is attributed to the "stay-cation" frame of mind, home theaters and the aging of the baby boomers. I know that many designers do not like recliners, and associate them with the big, saddlebag styles of the 70' and 80's. However, Taylor King and Bradington Young both have many styles that would complement any room, such as the transitional chair from Taylor King shown here. Why send them to the Lazy Boy store when you can give them a better quality chair that satisfies the design requirements you have for the room? Check it out at CDT!
