Furniture World Magazine

World Market Center proudly announced thatKen and Joy Phillips of St. Augustine, Fla. and owners of Creative Images, won the grand prize winners of its first “See You In Vegas!” sweepstakes. The Phillips’ won a four-day, three-night trip for two to Las Vegas, including round trip coach class air transportation, a chauffeured limousine ride from the airport, hotel accommodations at a Las Vegas resort hotel, and $1,000 in cash for spa, dining, shopping and entertainment. The approximate retail value of the grand prize is $3,500. “It just goes to show you that you have to play to win!” said Joy Phillips. “Actually, my husband and I are not casino gamblers, but as manufacturers, we are willing to ‘gamble’ on Vegas as a terrific venue for a new international furniture and accessories market. We are looking forward to our first World Market Center show. See us at Vegas Kids!” Ken Phillips’ name was selected in a random drawing of nearly 400 entries submitted by members of the home furnishings trade nationally – including manufacturers, retailers, and designers. Contestants registered on-line, www.lasvegasmarket.com, and via mail from July 15 to November 15, 2002. “The ‘See You In Vegas!’ promotion was tremendously successful among the project’s core audience with an outpouring of entries from potential Las Vegas market-goers,” said Dave Palmer, general manager and director of leasing. “The promotion enabled World Market Center to expose the fun and excitement – as well as the business potential – of Las Vegas as a destination city,” Palmer added. The promotion is just one component of the Las Vegas furniture market’s integrated marketing campaign, which includes print media, public relations, newsletters, website, and direct mail as well as strategic partnerships and packages. World Market Center will be the largest home furnishings showroom complex in the West upon its completion. Scheduled to break ground on Phase One in the first quarter of 2003, the first stage of World Market Center will dominate the complex and will encompass 4 million square feet of permanent showrooms and a Design Center dedicated to all facets of home furnishings.
