The National Home Furnishings Association and Western Home Furnishings Association announced that they are raffling off one lifetime membership to the Association during the Winter Las Vegas Market, January 31-February 3. Sponsored by Emerald Home Furnishings, every retailer that joins during Market week will be entered to win a membership for life. All retailers that join the Association will also receive $100 in free warehouse products just for joining.
“We are excited to offer retailers the opportunity to win a lifetime membership to the Association. One lucky winner will have access to our money saving programs, top-notch education and expansive retailer network, for the life of their business,” said WHFA Executive Director, Sharron Bradley.
Industry manufacturer Emerald Home Furnishings is sponsoring the lifetime membership raffle, which coincides with their 50 Anniversary. “We are turning 50 years old this year. There are very few companies that are privately held and have been in business for 50 years, and we are proud to be one of them. We feel it’s a milestone, and we want to help retailers achieve this milestone as well,” said David Beckmann, president of Emerald Home Furnishings. “I feel that a strong industry association makes for stronger retailers and a stronger industry. The knowledge and information that comes from the Association not only helps a retailer be savvier in their business but also gives them tools to grow their businesses. That is the value behind the National and Western Home Furnishings Associations.”
To be entered in to the Membership for Life raffle, retailers must visit the Retailer Resource Center in C-496 and join the Association prior to Friday, February 3, 2012. The lucky winner will be chosen at noon on February 3. Retailers need not be present to win.
