Home furnishings vendor Powell Co. will recognize confirmed orders at Spring High Point Furniture Market by giving retailers an iPad2 or MacBook Pro.

"We have had great success with this popular promotion over the past five markets so we are continuing it," said John Conrad, Powell senior vice president of merchandising. "For a placed and confirmed order of $10,000 in our High Point showroom we will give our retailers the recently released iPad2 to take home with them. And for a placed and confirmed order of $20,000 in our High Point showroom they will get the new MacBook Pro to take with them. This is our way of showing appreciation for helping us speed-up new items for production."

The new iPad2 was recently released in early March. It has a lighter thinner design, works faster, front and rear cameras for FaceTime video calling, HD video recording and ten hours of battery life.

"Our retailers will be able to use this hot new technology for not only sharing information with their customers on their sales floor but also for keeping in touch with them as new selections arrive," said Clay Ackard, Powell vice president of sales.

For larger orders, the retailer will take home a MacBook Pro 2011, which has state-of-the-art processors, all new graphics and HD FaceTime camera with better resolution along with improved low-light performance.

"The MacBooks will also help them grow their business as they keep up with the technology revolution that is taking this industry by storm," Ackard said.
