We’ve all been making a lot of big decisions over the past year, haven’t we? First it was the Referendum on Europe. Then, equally important, the General Election.
Now I’m not planning on making any political points here – we must all learn to manage the varying economic and political climates as they come along and as people react to outside influences and events.
Let me suggest a more palatable Big Decision: which of our many new ranges of are you going to take a punt on for your store? Of course you will all have different views on what you think will sell best, depending on where you are based in the country and what sort of people your core customers are.
Innovative Multiplus
We asked around in the office and everyone had their different favourites from amongst our latest crop of ranges: Multiplus, with its innovative walk-in wardrobe design; Kansas, for its satisfying auto-opening mechanism; Sita for its open plan feature.
According to our sales figures, the overall current favourite is still the versatile Loft, with its full or split level hinged doors. The sliding robe systems Hollywood and value for money Berlin are also right up there at the top of the sales chart.
But what’s your personal favourite and why? Have we missed it? We’d love to hear your views! Email Davina (davina@akapr.co.uk) and let her know and we’ll pop your name into the hat to win a bottle of fizz.
If you haven’t seen some of this year’s exciting new feature-packed introductions yet, then come and catch up with us at one of the September shows; we’ll be at home in our showroom in Long Eaton for the Autumn Long Point from 18-21 September; and at the Minerva Autumn Furniture Show at Stoneleigh Park, near Kenilworth from 26-27 September.
We win again!!
We’ve just heard the good news! We’ve won Interiors Monthly’s Best Overseas Furniture Manufacturer of the Year award – for the fifth time running! This is something of a record – we’re told that over 70% of the other awards did not go to last year’s winners. So, huge thanks to all of you who voted for us.
