Take advantage of a .375 cost factor for Country Woods Reflections blinds thru August 30, 2007.

The promotion is available in 18 stained and painted finishes for all Warren Steven Window Fashions dealers. There are no unit limitations. 

Reflections wood blinds feature a unique 2-5/8” beveled slat, offering an appealing shutter-look at the window.  This slat also provides a wider “view through” compared to the standard 2” slats and the competition. 

Heat up your summer sales with consumer rebates and free upgrades on the most popular Hunter Douglas products – without unit restrictions! 

The Hunter Douglas Summer Sale Event runs June 1 – August 31, 2007, for all Alliance dealers. If you are not an Alliance Dealer and would like to participate in the promotion, kits are available for $100. Speak with your sales representative to get your kit.

The kit includes:                                  

• Dealer Program Brochure           
• Counter Card           
• Sell Sheet
• 11 Hang Tags (for displays)                                        
• Program CD (Advertise the Sale!)

• Door/Window Decal (bring customers in!)
• 2 Double-Sided Posters

• Multi-Product Ads and Postcards 
• Energy Efficiency Ads and Postcards 
• PowerRise® Motorization Ads and Postcards

Look for the Summer Sale Advertising Certificate in your kit. If you run at least two ads or mail a minimum of 500 postcards between May 24 – August 24, 2007, you may receive the reimbursement.  

*Don’t forget to note detailed product descriptions on your customer’s receipts! Official rebate forms must be accompanied with a receipt specifying the complete product name, description, number of units purchased and the date of purchase in order for a rebate to be issued. 

Don't Forget Freight!

Avoid "eating" any profits on your sales. Instead, remember when freight charges apply and add them on to your customer's final order.

A freight charge is normally applied to orders measuring over 100" (inches). This is an estimate; to be certain, please speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives for an accurate quote.

Bank ACH

In the future, checks mailed or faxed directly to Warren Steven Window Fashions will be eligible for conversion to an electronic transaction.

Checks mailed to our lockbox will be processed in the normal fashion.
