How green is your store?
If you’re a retailer who is making efforts to respond to consumers’ requests for environmentally friendly casual furnishings and you would be willing to share your experience by serving on a panel discussion during the Sept. 15-18 Casual Market in Chicago, we want to hear from you.
Ray Allegrezza, editor in chief of Furniture/Today, will moderate the discussion, set for noon on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at the Merchandise Mart in a 7th floor presentation room. Bill Perdue of the American Home Furnishings Association, and Chris Bruning of Groovystuff furniture, also will serve on the panel.
If you can recommend consumers in the Chicago area who may be willing to share their experiences shopping for outdoor furniture, we would love to have them join a consumer panel discussion at noon, Sept. 15 in 7A, a seventh floor meeting room at the Merchandise Mart. It will start with a presentation on our consumer research project with HGTV. To follow up on either of these panel opportunities, please contact Cinde W. Ingram at cwingram@reedbusiness.com
