Milliken Proclaims October "Milliken Month" With Sponsored Savings On Pattern Broadloom

Furniture World Magazine

Milliken Carpet Retail Division has named October "Milliken Month," to promote the style and value of pattern carpet. The month-long promotion features Milliken sponsored savings on pattern broadloom and Capture™, an all-in-one maintenance system for carpet care. According to Rob Beistline, marketing manager, "Milliken Month" is designed to celebrate the diversity and value of pattern carpet. To participate in "Milliken Month," dealers must purchase the EasyChange™ display and color blanket, which showcases all of the colors available with its EasyChange™ customization program. "Milliken Month" includes POP signs, a CD advertising kit including newspaper/radio ads and discounts on all broadloom and Capture purchases. The promotion also includes an interactive CD, which features 12 room scenes that can be interchanged with all of Milliken's available patterns, allowing 7,000 different combinations. EasyChange™ revolutionizes the process of customers designing their own carpet like never before, while also providing extensive new benefits for retailers. This new custom system for Milliken's broadloom products allows retailers to satisfy every customer's need when it comes to style or selection of pattern carpet. It also maximizes retailers' floor space, providing an infinite number of possibilities with no increase in space requirements. Unlike other companies, which require 40 to 100 yards for a custom sample, Milliken's EasyChange™offers customers a sample of their carpet with no minimum order. The EasyChange™ system provides the highest level of personal service with its unique image review process. Customers choose color and or base changes they prefer to the Milliken design professionals. Within 48 hours, they will receive a computerized picture, or actual custom sample of the custom carpet that the designer has created for their unique setting. The carpet will then be delivered within seven days of the order. For more information on "Milliken Month," dealers may contact their local Milliken sales representative or call 1-800-241-8666.
