Week of 8-14-09

Dear Cdt1800,
Hello! Lots of news this week. First off, thanks to Andrea for our new look for this e-mail. Thanks also to Faith and Amy who developed a new format for our sign in book. They consolidated the sign in and the e-mail address update form. Wonder why we never thought of this sooner?? There is also a special little perk for this year's top 25 designers: Your initials appear at the side of the form. Instead of signing in, just check off the box by your name. We are always trying to help you be efficient...even 5 seconds helps!

We have new fabrics from Taylor King in the showroom now. Some new upholstered pieces from TK have been ordered and should be on the floor by late September.

Please help us keep costs down by using the black and white copier whenever possible. We go through an astonishing amount of color ink. We are delighted to make you color copies, but lets try to limit them to the photos where color really matters. Remember, you can always go to our website, link to a vendor and print copies at home. You can store them in a folder for your client this way too, which keeps them from getting lost or rumpled.
Fall Temple Sale

It's time for our semi-annual sale on Temple Upholstery! This perennial favorite is sure to please your client in both style and price. From September 1-30 take an additional 10% off.
Marketing tip: Call ALL of your clients to tell them about this sale. Download photos from the Temple website and make fliers to mail out. This gives you a great excuse to contact everyone. The price point of Temple makes it a great choice for clients to jump back into buying mode! Get on the phone!!!

All orders must be in no later than 3:00 PM on September 30 to allow time for last minute orders to get placed.

Superior Increases Custom Options

Superior, one of our longest standing vendors has now introduced a program that allows you to choose the edge. leg style size, shape and level of distressing on their tables. As always, you have their full array of finishes.

Solve This Mystery!

We are missing these items from our floor.
We assume that some paperwork has been mislaid, so we hope one of you can solve the mystery. There are also 2 small plants in wall pockets that are AWOL.
If you know the whereabouts of these accessories, please let us know.

All of our best to each of you!
Sincerely,

Vicki Martin and Camille SullivanChicago Design Team
