NATIONAL RETAIL BUYING GROUP
“Furniture First has been an integral part of our business plan since 1994. Throughout the years, we have increased our sales, and our bottom line, as a result of outstanding buys, advertising ideas, rebates, circulars, tools such as our website and merchandising. We also feel very fortunate to have developed true friendships and terrific networking sources. In addition, the Membership and staff of Furniture First is made up of the finest people in the furniture industry and makes us proud to be associated with this group.”

“We joined Furniture First with the intention of saving money via rebates and discounts, but it has also exceeded our expectations with streamlining our operations due mainly to networking with other dealers at our Annual Symposiums.”

“We joined Furniture First to take advantage of the extra discounts and rebates! However, the information available through networking and the exchange of ideas with fellow retailers is worth the cost of Membership alone - many of America’s best furniture retailers are Members of Furniture First and I’m glad we’re able to associate and learn from them!”

“In 1998, we joined Furniture First and I will be the first to tell you that it is one of the best investments that we, as an independent furniture dealer, have made. In many instances, with vendors, it puts you on a level playing field with multi-store operations because we are able to purchase merchandise at the same price. It also opens you up to a world of vendors, that in many cases, you probably would never have shopped or never heard of... If you have any ideas that you are looking for someone to bounce them off of, our President, Bill Hartman, always has an open ear as well as giving good advice in the dealer’s best interest. It is nice to belong to an organization that cares.”

“The benefits of being a Member of Furniture First more than pay for the dues, with the discounts and rebates we receive on the furniture that we purchase. In addition, we also get some great ideas from networking with other Members, but we’re fundamentally a buying group - and we save money!”
