In today’s competitive marketplace, it is more important than ever to place your product line in the hands of sales professionals that can deliver quantifiable results. For the last 20 years, DTR has established a track record of solid performance for their manufacturers. That didn’t happen by accident. Dawn Raymond, founder of DTR, has used her merchandising and retail buying experience to train and build a sales force that is organized, market-oriented and constantly in the field. DTR now has 12 representatives blanketing the Southeast region, 3 Key Account Managers and a 7000 square foot showroom in Atlanta’s Gift Mart that is open daily. We are committed to providing our select group of hi-end manufacturers with the kind of attention that fosters true partnership and success. Our sales team is out in force every day of every week in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North & South Carolina, Mississippi and Florida. Our Sales Manager and 3 full-time showroom employees provide sales support daily and keep our showroom looking great.

DTR enjoys one of the best addresses in Atlanta’s Gift Mart. Our showroom is situated on the top floor of Building 2, adjacent to two main traffic arteries. Our high-profile showroom includes modularconcept fixturing which enables us to stay flexible in our presentation options. Our consistent color palette keeps the showroom visually organized, while creating a dramatic backdrop for each line. All 7000 square feet of our space is full of exciting product, yet it stays looking clean and uncluttered.
Corkboard panels are used
throughout the showroom to present our stationery lines, while our multi-height pedestal tables and kiosks are ideal for displaying free-standing products. This combination allows us to display a maximum amount of merchandise in a minimum amount of space. Selling zones are set up throughout the showroom, so customers can more easily shop and write orders at worktables located near each line. Many of our manufacturers have been featured in the media.
This, coupled with DTR’s on-trend branding,
serves to drive even more buyers to our premium location.
We are proud of the contribution we have made to the success of our manufacturers. Because we
are
committed
to
building
ethical
and
prosperous partnerships with all our companies, we’ve enjoyed long-term, loyal relationships with Design Design, Inviting Co., Shiraleah and Milano, just to name a few. With over 4000 credit-worthy accounts in the Southeast, DTR is poised to bring your product line to the right retailers. Our accounts span every kind of venue, from stationery stores to big-box retailers to specialty stores of every stripe. DTR understands the buying habits of the Southern consumer.
We are actively seeking unique,
high-design gift and paper lines to enhance the quality of our current product mix. To find out more about what DTR can do for your business, e-mail Dawn Raymond at dawn@dtratlanta.net, or Barb Kennedy at bkennedy@dtratlanta.net.
