DirectBuy locations in Vancouver and Coquitlam win Consumer’s Choice award for kitchen and bathro

July 30, 2008 - PRLog -- VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC…As the leading member’s only-showroom and home design center, DirectBuy offers consumers an entirely new way to shop by buying directly from the manufacturer at wholesale prices. When it comes to making improvements to your kitchen and bath, DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver (located in Coquitlam) provide service and expertise that earned the Consumer’s Choice Award.




“The Consumer’s Choice Award means much more to us than a plaque and recognition by the Premier and Mayor of Vancouver. It means we’re doing right by our members, providing superior service and just plain doing our jobs well,” said Steve Pippy, co-owner of DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver.




Since 1987, the Consumers' Choice Award for Business Excellence has been honoring companies who excel in their respective categories. These annual awards are based on a comprehensive and objective survey conducted by Leger Marketing, a member of Gallup International Association, one of the largest market research firms in the world.




“I saw all the companies saying 'we're the best' but I thought the consumers should really decide who's their choice," says Ami Peleg, Founder and President of the Consumers' Choice Awards, which are awarded in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver, as well as a number of U.S. cities. Adds Peleg “Whenever the public sees this logo, they'll know that these are the public's choice. We encourage people to patronize them."




DirectBuy’s recognition for Consumers’ Choice award was not limited to British Columbia. DirectBuy of Ottawa received the Consumers’ Choice Award for windows and blinds for the second consecutive year.




Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the manufacturer. In addition, DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver also employ product specialists and full-time, on-site cabinet designers who can help members create their dream kitchen, bathroom or any other room in the house.




With four convenient locations in the greater Vancouver area (Victoria, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Kelowna), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
