Houston, TX September, 2011—In an effort to help product turnover on the retail sales floor during the hot summer months Classy Art Wholesalers Inc. has just finalized and awarded the winners of a retail sales contest. “Getting the product of retail floors is the easy part, but getting them to turn during the summer is tricky. We feel that the retail sales people are our front lines, and by motivating them to ask the consumer for add-on items such as wall décor and lamps we increase the average ticket making it a win-win-win for the factory, the sales person, and the retailer.”

“In today’s environment we must be creative to sustain growth or to even survive in most cases. Expect Classy Art to continue to create fun and exciting ways to grow both our business as well as the retailers’”

We have seen growths every market over the past 6 years, and we are eager to see more. Much of this is due to falling competition, and the rest is due to continuing to grow the line and our exposure offering the true sense of the word value to furniture retailers.”
