The ice cream contest
The contest is over and sadly enough no one guessed the owner's favorite ice cream flavor. The question " what ice cream flavor does the owner like the best " , the answer is Black Licorice. We'll have more fun this year. Thanks, The Home Center.

Get what you paid for
http://www.thehomecenters.com
Get what you paid for: that's not always the case.
Many times at The Home Center you will find the merchandise is much more than "you paid for". To many times the customer doesn't take the time to ask questions about the product as they should. We find there are a lot of look a like items in the marketplace, but this does not mean they are all built alike, or by the same vendors.
Knock off artists are out there and they try to reproduce a look a like at a lesser value to the customer. The underline to that product is the quality of materials used, the construction, and warranty that goes with the item. It's not always the outer side of the box, it's whats inside the box. I mean how and what is used to produce the merchandise.
The Home Center works very hard with vendors to make sure that the right materials, construction and factories are up to standards we would be proud of and who stand behind the products they make. There are lots of products that must be assembled when purchased, but we find that it is better to buy product assembled by the factory ( they know what they are doing).
Building relationships with manufacturers allows better buying, which is then passed on to the consumer. That type of loyalty does build power that not only box stores have but, so do the locally owned, small businesses. Check out our You Tube and meet some of the employees that can service you over the phone or in the locations. Get to know us on a little more of a personal and friendly manor. It make buying so much more.

Shopping at a locally owned furnture and mattress store.
http://www.thehomecenters.com
Why buy from a locally owned furniture and mattress store?
With the awareness of all the grandiose furniture and mattress stores in the market place, the things that I find are missing all of the time, is the knowledge of the products sold, and the service that's available. We small businesses depend on the return and referral customers.
How does this all happen? By being dependable, knowledgeable, and servicing the needs when requests are asked of us. I believe that the customer wants the same that we the owners expect from our vendors. Teach us about the products that we sell, show us all of the factors which make the product worth the price. Help us see how it is made, what materials are put into the items, and why it warrants the warranty that they put behind their items. Once it is determined to show the merchandise, we spend a lot of time teaching all of our staff about the product, and how the vendor supports their line. Knowing as much as possible about merchandise makes it so much easier to have a good relationship with our customer. People are not just looking, I know they want to know about what they would like to buy. But, if they feel no comfort with the staff because of lack of product knowledge, they will excuse themselves by saying " I'm just looking".
Now about service, it's simple. Follow through, all the way to the counter for the close. After the merchandise is sold, all of the other parts make the difference. Delivery schedule, pick up at the door, special orders, follow up phone calls, I could go on and on. These are where a small business can make great strides in building a real relationship that will last.
When walking into a locally owned furniture and mattress store, remember to take extra time and get to know your sales staff, you may be working with the owner. I know I would like to know your name and somethings about you and your family. It's so much more fun when we are on a name to name basis, it helps break down barriers. Have a good time shopping and I hope to see you soon.
