News Week of March 30-April 3

Check the upcoming events below! The Hunter Douglas beginner class has been rescheduled, and there are several things you won't want to miss.
Other Hunter Douglas updates:
We have a new price list for installations. This will be effective immediately, and will soon be available on our website. You can also pick up a copy in the showroom.

If you are working on an order that qualifies for the Hunter Douglas rebate, be sure that the date on your order matches the date on the rebate. In order to ensure accuracy, you should call CDT before mailing it in, so the office can give you the correct date. It needs to be the date WE SEND IT IN, not the date you sell it. We suggest that you complete the form on behalf of your client.

Also, please double check your rebate form. In the lower half of the form, on the left side, you should have the HDID number already filled in. If you do not, please fill in number 1246976.

Attention Larry Laslo fans:
HGTV's "Top Ten" episode that airs this Saturday, April 4 at 8:30 ET (should be 7:30 central, but double check) will feature Larry Laslo's living room, including some of his designs for Robert Allen. It will run again April 11. We received this info from Robert Allen. You might want to check the HGTV website to see when it airs, as it will switch to Tuesday night after the middle of the month.
We will be glued to the TV to see our "pal" Larry!
Repeating what we said last week, don't forget that there are still some great sales happening at CDT. This is the silver lining to the weak economy.
The Hunter Douglas rebate promotion is still going strong and generating a lot of business. Make a point of contacting your clients to let them know about this.
The Chatham Crossing, Duralee, Owner Select, Old Biscayne, and Sarreid promotions run through the end of March. Call the showroom for details, or check back issues of this e-mail.

The Thomas Lawrence extra 10% is in effect till April 15.

During the month of April, take an extra 10% off any Taylor King piece!!

Here is a great chance to make some extra profit and get some beautiful lighting into your client's homes.
You Light Up Our Lives spring lamp clearance:
Every lamp at CDT is on sale!! From now through the end of April, all lamps will be 40-20. If you purchase 2 or more, the price drops to 40-20-10.


Don't miss this opportunity, and help us make room for new lamps coming soon!

Style by Choice
Ferguson Copeland has simplified their price list. As part of this new format there are lots of beautiful new introductions, most notably the new "Style by Choice" collection. This program is similar to the choose-the-arm, choose-the-base programs you are familiar with. However, Ferguson Copeland is all about high style and sophistication, so they are offering 2 new arm styles not seen in any other program at CDT. Shown below are the choices availble. We will have copies of the brochure available at the showroom.


IFDA will be having a seminar on Tuesday, April 21 which will be called "All About Feng Shui." IFDA is very excited about our speaker Laurie Pawlie, who is an expert on the subject, and teaches Feg Shui thoery and techniques. The booths at these events are aways interesting, and there will be some that will relate to the feng shui theme.

1:30 Vendor Booths
2:00 speaker
3:00 booths remain open.

Appetizers will be served all afternoon in the ADC showrooms. Desert to follow in the Kravet showroom.
