Solair® Shade Solutions is inviting patio-furniture retailers throughout North America to enter for the chance to win a trip for two to the Westin™St. John Resort & Villas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The contest, running through October 31, 2012, will offer one lucky retailer the opportunity to enjoy an allexpenses- paid four nights in beautiful St. John.

As part of the brand’s initiative to enhance the outdoor-living experience, Solair will randomly select one casual-furniture retailer to receive the luxury vacation. Retailers can enter using the contest page (www.solair.com/become-a-dealer/). The winner will be announced on November 12, 2012, on the Solair Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ solairshadesolutions).

Rett Haigler, manager of Solair, says, “Since Solair’s introduction to the patiofurniture market, we have partnered with more than 150 specialty retailers to help solve needs in the outdoor-living space by providing high-quality, sophisticated shade solutions. Through this contest, we hope to help one lucky retailer experience a relaxing retreat in paradise, while bringing a similar option to customers.”

As part of the Solair retractableawning program, the contest strives to encourage casual-furniture retailers to learn more about the market’s demand for its stylish shade products, designed to enhance a homeowner’s outdoor-living space. Retailers in the program enjoy minimal upfront costs and a highquality product offering, along with Solair’s comprehensive sales and installation training.

“A key selling point retailers can provide to homeowners is that Solair awnings address the need to make outdoor spaces more comfortable, while offering the flexibility to have shade or sun as desired,” Haigler says. “As seasonal temperatures change the need for a homeowner’s outdoor-living area, a retractable awning provides the perfect adjustment for sun control, while continuing to deliver style and beauty.”
