Guildmaster Names My Guildmaster Story Contest Winner

April 9, 2014  by in High Point, Market   

Deborah Costa of Design Alchemy in Sacramento, Calif., won $1,000 toward a future order by submitting the following:
“I fell in love with the Washington Sleigh Bed when it was first released. I’ve been haunted by the bed at every High Point and Las Vegas market since. When I decided to open a retail store, of course we put the bed right in the front so everyone can appreciate it. We don’t open until April 19, but BAM! someone saw the bed in the window and already bought it. The Washington Sleigh Bed was first sale for our new shop.”

“We are thrilled by the stories submitted by our buyers. It is evident that the artisanal quality of each Guildmaster piece tells its own story, reaching beyond the original inspiration of the artisan that created it,” said Margaret Powers, vice president of sales and marketing at Guildmaster, Springfield, Mo. “As the roll-out of the ‘Stories Made by Hand’ campaign continues we will incorporate these stories to enrich our marketing efforts.”
