On August 16, 2014, In Industry News by Greg Thompson
LUTHERFIELD, MD - Jennifer McQuaid, a buyer at Watson’s Fireplace and Patio in Lutherfield, MD, is the winner of a four-day Royal Caribbean Cruise gift certificate given to promote the sweeping plans for Veranda Classics 2015.
Retailers were able to register online at VerandaClassics.com, and at the Chicago showroom, for a fabulous cruise of their choice. Once online, retailers could quickly and easily register to win and, at the same time, set up a market appointment to view Veranda Classics’ nine, all-new-and-complete collections at the July Casual PreMarket in Chicago.
“She is very excited,” said Neil Streitfeld, national sales manager for Veranda Classics by Foremost. “Jennifer said she has never won anything before, and when told the news, she actually said ‘Yippity Do Da!’ We are happy to provide that excitement to one of our valued customer.”
Watson’s can be found online at WatsonsFireplaceAndPatio.net and has been in the outdoor furniture industry for more than 50 years. Veranda Classics specifically targets large specialty retailers who order by container and welcomes both online and brick-and-mortar businesses.
The nine new collections were created by Veranda Classics’ new American Design team, led by award-winning designer Robert Taunton. Reception at the July Pre-Market in Chicago was overwhelming for this diverse line-up which includes 100% all-weather wicker, cast aluminum and mixed media. Wow factors were new stone tables in marble, a stained-glass fire pit and teak finishes on cast aluminum.
Foremost Groups and Veranda Classics, the Specialty Retail brand, is one of four luxury brands that make up the Outdoor Division of Foremost.
