Home Depot's Flooring Department Drove Growth in Q4

Atlanta, GA, February 28, 2017—Flooring and Tools were the two departments that achieved double growth at Home Depot during Q4 2016, reports HBSdealer.com.

Part of the flooring department’s growth can be attributed to the fact that, starting in November, the company launched a promotion for free installation on orders of $699 or more. The company has made similar offers previously, but unlike some of those, this one included no small print. 

Interestingly, despite these results, Home Depot decided to change its lead merchant over the flooring department, transitioning John Sommers from this position.
