Furniture World News Desk on 8/19/2016


Fortegra, a Tiptree Financial Inc. company (NASDAQ:TIPT), announced recently a new partnership with the Arkansas Homefurnishings Association (AHA), one of the largest furniture associations in North America. Upholding a mutual goal to put retail customers first, AHA retailers will now have access to furniture protection courtesy of Fortegra’s Furniture Preferred and Ultimate plans.

“We’re proud to be working with the Arkansas Homefurnishings Association, a company that, like ours, has built its brand by providing service and value to retail clients,” said Kevin Cundiff, Vice President at Fortegra. “We feel this partnership is a perfect fit, and are honored that AHA has chosen Fortegra as the exclusive provider for its members.”

These furniture protection plans will cover a variety of defects, stains, and damage for AHA member customers through Fortegra’s vetted, nationwide service network. The plans can be added to almost any item sold in AHA partner locations, and no chemical sprays are required. As a vertically aligned insurance company, Fortegra controls all aspects of the product, ensuring a good fit for the Arkansas Homefurnishings Association, their partners, and consumers.

“For us it wasn’t just about the products that Fortegra brings to the table, it was their partnership approach. They’re not going to leave our members to fend for themselves," said Randy Lann, Executive Director at the AHA. "They use a consultative approach to help improve business overall, not just sell more protection plans."
