| Article | Due to the overwhelming response to Floor Covering News’ Retailers Guide to Selling Hardwood Flooring, published in 2007, we are proud to bring you the much anticipated second edition. This guide again aims to help the retailer and salesperson sell the proper floor for their customers’ lifestyles. While the basics remain the same from two years ago, much has changed, particularly in the legality of imported hardwood and increasing eco-awareness. In addition, this guide delves into advances in technology, the ability to globally source product, new selling systems and so forth. Readers will gain a better overall understanding of hardwood flooring— from today’s hottest decorating trends to new merchandising systems designed to make the shopping experience easier, and from the many new and unique offerings available in wood floors (exotic species, cork, bamboo, rustics, etc.) to the proper ways to install and maintain them. It’s all here. With the help of our sponsors, each page is filled with researched information to help retailers develop a profitable wood flooring business; show salespeople the latest techniques to ensure their customers not only get the floor of their dreams but one that will stand up to their family’s lifestyle, and highlight the features and benefits of owning a wood floor. So, take your time, read each page and let yourself be taken on a journey into the wonderful world of hardwood flooring. |
