News: GuildMaster Growing at Las Vegas Design Center

04.07.10

GuildMaster has long been synonymous with cutting-edge design when it comes to home accent trends. Now, the Springfield, Missouri-based showroom is nearly doubling its size at Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center Las Vegas, relocating to a 7,621-square-foot atrium-front showroom.

GuildMaster CEO Steve Crowder says that the company has seen phenomenal results with its Las Vegas showroom, which made the expansion an easy decision. “Our last Las Vegas Market in September was up 30 percent over the prior year,” says Crowder. “We are adding new customers that we would not reach if we were not in Las Vegas. Because of these sales results we are doubling our showroom space to build a bigger presence in Las Vegas Design Center.”

“As GuildMaster creates an expanded showcase to highlight their unique furniture and accessories, we are pleased to be a continued part of their success, and to have them as a continued part of the success and future of Las Vegas Design Center,” says Randy Wells, vice president of Las Vegas Design Center. “We truly value their extended commitment to us.”

GuildMaster, now located in A-225 in Las Vegas Design Center, has big plans for August Las Vegas Market. That’s when the showroom will introduce a new partnership with Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell. In addition, Crowder points to the recent success of the GuildMaster Quickship program.

“Retailers have bled down their store inventories and have used our in-stock program to quickly re-merchandise their floors,” says Crowder. GuildMaster will be introducing new in-stock products at August Market as well.”

GuildMaster specializes in designing, manufacturing and delivering the finest premium home accents directly from its production facilities in Indonesia and China to retailers across the United States.

The company serves more than 3,000 retail accounts, including OfficeMax, Home Depot, Neiman Marcus, Sears-The Great Indoors and others.
