Manchester, NH (August 25, 2005) — Flooring America’s Neighborhood Networks continue to generate increased savings and profit-growing opportunities for members, while increasing brand awareness regionally and nationally.

“History has proven time and time again that our best strategy for future success is by working together and supporting each other,” said Vinnie Virga, president of Flooring America. “Through Neighborhood Networks, both our new and experienced members are able to share strategies and leverage their collective power.”

One of the many the cost-saving opportunities among Neighborhood Networks is group advertising. With 31 Neighborhood Networks spread throughout the country, group advertising gives members in major markets and smaller communities the ability to leverage their combined investment to maximize their reach and frequency. Tim Leaver, director of communications, adds, “As our Neighborhood Networks continue to reach greater audiences though group advertising, they also help promote and broaden brand awareness on local, regional, and national levels.”

“Our Neighborhood Network has received outstanding results with a group private sale letter that offered $100 off with a pre-measure,” said Maxine Schneider of Schneider’s Flooring America, Vernon, CT. “The group brought in nearly half a million dollars over the course of the two-day sale!”

In addition to group advertising, Neighborhood Networks have increased their profit-growing potential through container ordering. Members save money on products and freight charges by purchasing bulk orders together.

Members have also experienced the power of Neighborhood Networks through group training events. Flooring America and Flooring Canada’s Complete Training Program allows members to schedule high-impact sales, product, and financial training sessions taught by experts in the floorcovering industry. These training events take place at a location that is convenient for all members to ease travel time and share the expense.
