Alliance Flooring Summit brought ten stores together to host and share best practices in one location for this educational, networking event. All members were invited to this Summit to attend breakout sessions and discuss topics that will propel their businesses forward. In addition, Alliance Flooring also showcased suppliers featured in their Perfect Home selling solution along with their best product specials. The Summit also highlighted the announcement of the addition of new vendors to the Perfect Home program.
Before other groups truly understood the power of networking, Alliance Flooring, the parent company for CarpetsPlus Colortile and Carpetland, recognized the benefits in bringing like-minded retailers together and created the โSummitโ concept.
The first round of member breakout sessions included topics such as diversification, finding and keeping good personnel, plus advertising and marketing. A panel of members shared about their individual businesses and what has been working for them. Next, another group of members shared about gaining more builder and commercial business, claims, returns, project management, and scheduling. To give more background on their operations, each shared information about their business, demographics of their customers, competition and industries that make up their community.
An exhibit hall showcasing Perfect Home suppliers exclusively was also held to introduce new suppliers to that program, show products, sell stock on opportunistic buys, and of course to continue to build relationships and answer any questions.
