The Home Furnishings Independents Association (HFIA) announced that it has entered into an agreement with PROFITsystems to receive discounts on inbound and outbound shipping, 3rd party shipping, residential delivery fees, and fuel surcharges. These discounts keep HFIA members competitive and aggressive in providing home furnishings value to their customers. “It’s vital in our difficult economic environment that our members cut their expenses wherever possible,” says Mary Frye, President of the Dallas based HFIA 1,500 member association. “The general public is price coconscious right now. Relationships still matter, but consumers have tightened their budget and spend only when they believe they are receiving worth for their money. By utilizing PROFITsystems freight discounts HFIA members benefit by joining a group of over 500 retailers with 2,000 locations nationwide.” Layla Berglund, Director of PROFITfreight, has also stated that in addition to freight discounts HFIA members will receive free freight analysis, online quotes, freight experts at their fingertips for support, and an iron-clad guarantee. “We are thrilled to manage the freight program for HFIA. Last year many PROFITfreight members saved tens of thousands of dollars and we are looking forward to helping HFIA members do the same.” “HFIA has always been the choice and voice of the independent-thinking home furnishings professional,” states Mary. “We are dedicated to helping our members succeed and PROFITfreight is another step in that direction.” For further information contact Mary Frye, HFIA, (214)-741-7632. She’s a great interview.
