Retailers Win Trips to Surfaces

Dallas, TX, January 11, 2006--Not only do retailers “win” every year at Surfaces with all the latest floor covering styles and trends and special show pricing, but they win trips to Surfaces too. Two lucky retailers have won a first-class trip to Surfaces 2006. Through a program designed for manufacturers and distributors participating in Surfaces 2006, Beaulieu of America and Butler-Johnson Corp., each won the opportunity to send one of their retailers to Surfaces in first-class style. These companies helped their retailer customers get registered for this year’s show by December 15, 2005. The manufacturer and distributor that registered the most attendees by the deadline were qualified to send one of their top retailers to the show for free. Beaulieu of America chose John Marett, PS Management, Orlando, FL, was its winner. And Butler-Johnson chose Hal Capps, Capps Floor Covering, Fresno, CA, as its winner. “We go to Surfaces every year and we love it,” says Capps. “We go to keep up on all the new hardwood and laminate styles, get special pricing, stay on top of the latest trends in carpet and vinyl and network with reps.” “We are very proud of the fact that one of our dealers will be traveling to Surfaces again in style this year,” says Clay Covington, general sales manager, Butler-Johnson. “We do everything we can as a company to help promote the event and encourage our dealers to attend. “We feel that this is the best venue for all of us in the industry to see and hear what’s new and exciting,” adds Covington. “From meeting with manufacturers face to face and attending educational and installation seminars to viewing exciting new introductions for the year, there is just no better venue.” "Surfaces convenes the best floor covering professionals in the industry, presenting a great opportunity to connect with key players,” says Hans Bakker, Director of Product Management, Beaulieu of America. “Beaulieu of America is proud to be a part of this year's conference and expo, and looks forward to sharing some exciting news."
