Winter 2016
The winter season is truly upon us and when Christmas is over then the next major event in our calendars is DOMOTEX. In the build up to the big event we bring you an exclusive interview with Jochen Köckler of Deutsche Messe trade fair company.
The show is now in its 26th year and as member of the managing board it’s Jochen’s job to ensure that DOMOTEX remains the number one trade fair for the flooring industry. We find out what’s in store for those heading over to Hannover this January.
We’ve gone all virtual for our In Store at..feature as we caught up with Simon Goff of online store FLOOR_STORY to hear how his capsule collections and designer collaborations are breaking new ground.
As we all know, the internet is increasingly affecting the way that we do business and interact with our customers. With this in mind, we show you how the online platform Houzz can put you in touch with design enthusiasts and make sure you’re at the forefront of homeowner’s minds when they come to renovations.
It’s always good to get some new business ideas so this edition also features sales insights from Phil Pond of Scarlet Opus and Steve Phillip of linked2success, both of whom you may have seen giving presentations at the Flooring Show this year.
I hope you enjoy reading!
