A Day in the Lift: Part 4

The count down to market continues, as does our planning! We've been working away to put together a beautiful showroom. We've shown you how we pick our fabric combinations, now we will show you our process of matching the fabrics to the frames and placing them in the showroom.

There are many things we have to consider when matching fabrics to frames:

  • Does the price point of the fabric match the price point of the frame?
  • Is this a new or existing frame?
  • Where do we want to place this combination in the showroom?
  • How did we show the frame last market?
  • Which fabrics can we add to our programs like Multiple Choices and Custom Loft? 
And the list continues! Here are examples of some of our choices. 

Step 1: Choose frame

A Day in the Life: Part 2

October market is only about 10 weeks away. We are continuing to get everything ready for another spectacular market! Our first step in preparing for market was attending Showtime and selecting fabrics we'd like to see samples of.

Once we receive all of our samples, we go through them! We bring in hundreds of fabrics.
