Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- DesignACushion.com unveiled its redesigned website during the Hospitality Design Boutique Exposition & Conference held Sept. 14-15, in Miami.

“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’s calling card came in the form of miniature pillows made with Sunbrella fabric and featuring the new DesignACushion logo on the tag. More than 600 miniature pillows were handed out during the two-day expo.

“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.

Founded in 2005, DesignACushion.com streamlines the ordering and fulfillment process by allowing professionals to login to the website and submit orders day or night. Users enter custom dimensions of cushions, pillows, bolsters and drapes. Once a fabric is selected, a variety of styling choices are available including cushion thickness, cushion filling, cording, braiding and more.

DesignACushion.com does not charge a membership fee for design professionals and retailers to register and use the system.
