By: Daniel Dye, OCG Communications Manager “Traffic coming into the DesignACushion booth was brisk both days,” said Scott McGlon, president of Online Commerce Group the parent company of DesignACushion. “We spoke with numerous representatives from large corporations and resorts, well-known interior designers and many specialty retailers during the show. We have already seen an increase in traffic and orders to the website.” As is typical with large expos, most vendors offered something free for attendees to take away from the show. DesignACushion’ “While the website generated a lot of interest from large corporations, well-known interior designers and specialty retailers, we thought that there was no better way for us to show potential clients the quality of our work than by giving them a small sample made in our production facility,” McGlon said. “We considered using pens, notepads, foam balls and mouse pads. However, many people were excited to receive one of these unique pillows which gave us something to engage attendees with. We certainly received a lot of positive feedback. I think these pillows will help people remember who we are and what we do.” DesignACushion was developed for the home décor industry to quickly and easily order a wide variety of custom-made chair cushions, outdoor furniture cushions, drapes, throw pillows and more. This wholesale-only system features more than 2,000 fabrics from notable brands such as Sunbrella, Robert Allen, Outdura and Phifer’s earth-friendly GeoBella line.
