Furnishings retail buying consortium MEGA Group USA has awarded Bobby Garrett of Garrett Mattress & Furniture in Milledgeville, Ga., two Mac Motion recliners.
Garrett won the chairs in a drawing High Point Furniture Market last month. The contest, which saw more than 100 dealers register, was a highlight of MEGA Group's first exhibition at High Point, where it said it converted more than 15 percent of the buyers that visited their showroom into new MEGA Group USA members.
"We were excited to show at High Point Market this year," said Jerry Honea Director/COO for MEGA Group USA. "Being our first time to have a space, we were uncertain what to expect. The traffic to our showroom and the ability to talk to a number of buyers and have them become new MEGA Group USA members far exceeded our expectations."
Primary High Point market focus for MEGA Group USA was its new Paula Deen Home By Serta Mattress Collection that is exclusive for MEGA Group USA members.
GE Money, one of MEGA Group USA's business service vendor partners, was in MEGA Group USA's space all week working with current members on consumer financing needs and meeting with prospects to explain the many benefits that GE Money offers.
"Having GE Money in our space and working with our members was extremely valuable," Honea said. "It provides our dealer members time to spend one on one with GE Money and work together to provide their customers the very best financing available."
MEGA Group USA has 1,500 retail members in 2,500 store fronts throughout the United States.
