DirectBuy Club Promotes Lisle Resident Rich MeyerRead More

CHICAGO, IL …

As the leading home improvement and home furnishings club offering direct insider prices, DirectBuy specializes in helping members get more for less. Glenview resident Juan Gomez is a fine example of that. By visiting DirectBuy to learn more about a membership, he was entered in a raffle that won him two tickets to the Chicago Bears versus St. Louis Rams game on December 6, 2009 as part of a special promotion put on by DirectBuy of Chicago North and DirectBuy of Lake County.

“Congratulations to Juan Gomez for winning the two tickets to the Bears-Rams game,” said Brent Gilliland, managing partner of DirectBuy of Chicago North. “Judging by the number of participants we had, this was no small accomplishment, and we hope he had a great time at the game.”

Gomez’s victory marked the end of DirectBuy’s month-long football celebration. Leading up to the drawing, fans who attended an Open House at either DirectBuy of Chicago North or DirectBuy of Lake County received a piece of authentic NFL apparel and were entered into a drawing for the aforementioned tickets to the Bears-Rams game (members of the general public were also invited to enter). The winner was drawn on November 30, 2009.

“This was a really fun promotion for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, we have a lot of football fans among our members, guests and staff,” said Mark Perry, managing partner at DirectBuy of Lake County. “Since we border Wisconsin, a good many of our guests are Packers fans, yet the promotion still managed to create a buzz that made it a good time for even the most ardent Cheesehead.”

DirectBuy offers everything football fans could possibly need to watch the game from home — flat screen TVs, recliners and home theater seating, even kegerators for your den or entertainment room — at direct insider prices from your favorite brand names. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the “man cave” or entertainment room that works best for their home.

For more than 38 years, DirectBuy clubs have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories by purchasing from over 700 brand-name manufacturers and authorized suppliers. With several convenient locations in the greater Chicago area (Chicago, Gurnee, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, and Tinley Park), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

Are you ready for some football? If so, we’ve got your ticket – two tickets actually – to be a part of the action, as DirectBuy of Chicago North and DirectBuy of Lake County are celebrating the football season by raffling off two tickets to the Chicago Bears versus St. Louis Rams game on December 6, 2009.

“Chicagoland residents love their football and their Bears,” said Mark Perry, DirectBuy of Lake County’s Managing Partner. “We’re really looking forward to this month-long celebration of what’s truly become America’s pastime: the game of football.”

Fans who attend an Open House at either DirectBuy of Chicago North or DirectBuy of Lake County will automatically be entered into the drawing and also receive a piece of authentic NFL apparel, while supplies last. The promotion officially kicked off on October 27 and runs through November 26, with the winner being announced on November 30, 2009.

“In this part of the country, football is a bit more than just a game. It’s an event, a happening. Unfortunately, not everybody has access to or can afford to buy tickets,” said Brent Gilliland, Managing Partner at DirectBuy of Chicago North. “We set up this special raffle to celebrate the Bears’ promising start to the 2009 season and to give fans an opportunity to be a part of what we hope will be a very successful year for them.”

While the raffle itself will award two tickets to a Bears game to some lucky fan, DirectBuy also offers everything else football fans could possibly need to watch the game from home — flat screen TVs, recliners and home theater seating, even kegerators for your den or entertainment room — at direct insider prices from your favorite brand names. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the “man cave” or entertainment room that works best for their home.

Fans can also enter by sending their name, address, phone number and e-mail address on a 3 x 5 index card to DirectBuy, Attn: Mike Georgeff, 8450 Broadway, Merrillville, IN 46410.

Remodeling your kitchen is one of the more expensive home improvement projects you can undertake. It’s also a project that recoups more of its cost at resale than most others. According to DirectBuy of Greater Chicago, there are some extra touches you can give your kitchen remodel to further maximize the value of your new kitchen.

For example, many new kitchen remodels include wall space painted with chalkboard paint. This gives families a great space to keep important lists, and dates, especially since chalkboard paint is easily cleaned with an eraser or damp cloth. 

“The kitchen has become the hub of activity and an information center for the household. So, rather than force a dry erase board into a spot, creating an area from the get-go is a far more convenient approach,” said Dave Kushner, owner of DirectBuy of Hoffman Estates. “In addition to being a message board for the family, it can also be the wall area where it is finally okay for little Jimmy to draw his favorite pictures.

Adding an exhaust fan to your kitchen is another nice touch to a kitchen remodel. Exhaust fans not only help eliminate obnoxious smells from your kitchen; they can be a beautiful design accent as well. 

“Most exhaust systems are available in different materials such as wood or stainless steel which can coordinate nicely with your cabinetry or countertops,” added Kushner. “So in addition to getting rid of unwanted smells from last night’s seafood dish or the peas you accidentally burned, you further accentuate the beauty of your remodel.”

DirectBuy carries everything you need for a kitchen remodel at prices direct from the manufacturers and their authorized suppliers. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the kitchen that works best for their home.

For more than 38 years, DirectBuy clubs have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by purchasing from over 700 brand-name manufacturers and authorized suppliers.
