Anaheim, CA (July 26, 2011) – Carpet One Floor & Home members from across the United States and Canada joined together for their 2011 Summer Convention at the Anaheim Convention Center where they were introduced to new products and programs available to them through the cooperative. The theme of the convention – LINC: Lead, Innovate, Network, and Connect – reinforced the opportunities Carpet One Floor & Home members have as part of the cooperative.
Carpet One Floor & Home members were introduced to the new Invincible Luxury Vinyl Tile line, the exclusive Forever Hardwood, and the new Resista Refresh carpet. The new products will be introduced into Carpet One Floor & Home stores in the coming month.
Luxury Vinyl Tile from IVC joins hardwood in Carpet One Floor & Home’s exclusive Invincible brand of performance flooring introduced last year and focuses on durability. Forever Hardwood – an exclusive, propriety wood program from Mannington – is a high performance product with a ProTec finish making it highly resistant to denting gouging, fading and staining. It is made in America from using recycled materials. Resista Refresh will expand on the highly successful Resista carpet line.
“The products we have to introduce to our members at this convention are truly groundbreaking,” said Eric Demaree, President of Carpet One Floor & Home. “We are confident that these products will help our members continue to differentiate themselves from the competition.”
Carpet One Floor & Home also introduced members to the newly designed homepage of CarpetOne.com which focuses on engaging customers throughout the shopping process.
