Hello! It’s good to meet you.
Just Got 2 Have It!
was founded in 2000 by us, but our success has been a collaborative achievement by a collection of remarkable folks: our personable and knowledgeable staff, our innovative manufacturers, and ourloyal retailers. Irreplaceable. All of them. The information shared in the following pages describes how our team works together to build, to share, and to contribute to a common vision. When you meet our team, you will learn more about each individual and how they collectively work on your behalf – but you’ll also learn about the extra services that define and differentiate our sales agency. An example? Our over-thetop VIP Meeting Room (at each showroom) for qualified retailers. Obviously no little book can describe the whole of our work, but this is a good start

social medial Market ing
Our social media efforts are extensive. Social media is an integral to our efforts to further expand our brand and assist both vendors and retailers.
We have stayed on-trend with social media efforts by adding a Pinterest page.
We have not only developed a strong Facebook page to promote our showrooms and our vendors, but we ask each member of our rep team to create their own Facebook page for professional purposes. This allows them to further expand the reach in their own communities, form a deeper bond with their retailers and keep their finger on the pulse of what’s going on in their area. Via our Facebook page, we started a new Weekly Retailer Spotlight to celebrate a new retailer each week. This has been an extremely popular, well-received recognition program in which the winning retailer receives a customized image promotion and full write-up for their store.
