DirectBuy of Fresno awarded coveted “Rising Star” award

FRESNO, CA…

On November 24, 2008 at DirectBuy’s International Sales and Service Conference in San Francisco, DirectBuy of Fresno Owners Troy and Lisa Seavers were awarded DirectBuy’s highest honor for new franchisees – they were named the company’s 2008 Rising Star Award recipients.

DirectBuy annually awards Rising Star honors to the franchise that achieves elite levels of effectiveness in membership production, service excellence and business practices within their first six full months of operation. Eligible franchise owners are evaluated on their leadership abilities, staff retention, facility image and business practices. Recipients receive a Crystal Award and recognition at the annual DirectBuy International Sales & Service Conference for all DirectBuy owners and employees.

“We feel very proud and blessed to have been chosen for this award. Witnessing the excitement of members realizing their dreams is incredibly fulfilling for us as DirectBuy franchise owners,” said Troy Seavers. “But, we could not have accomplished our business goals without the assistance of a knowledgeable and dedicated staff. We would like to share this award with each and every one of our employees.”

The 29,000 sq. foot Fresno showroom opened in July of 2007 and was among the company’s top membership producers over the past year, with members purchasing more than $3.5 million in merchandise through DirectBuy.

DirectBuy of Fresno team member Crystal Swanson believes the culture put in place by the owners is a paramount reason behind the enthusiasm and service delivered to members. “It is an honor to work for Troy and Lisa and to be a part of the successful DirectBuy of Fresno team,” Swanson explains. “We are dedicated to providing our members with outstanding service, selection and savings every day.”

Valley Life Re-Welcomes DirectBuy of Fresno

FRESNO, CA…

In late October, KMPH Fox 26’s Valley Life welcomed back Troy Seavers, owner of DirectBuy of Fresno, for his second appearance on the show. Seavers was invited in early April to help explain the DirectBuy concept and how consumers can save money on purchases when redecorating, refurnishing or remodeling their homes. On his recent appearance, he expanded upon DirectBuy’s unique business model, and also touched on the everyday savings members can experience.

“We’re not just about furnishing and remodeling,” said Seavers. “We have everyday items like golf clubs, dishes, jewelry, electronics, fitness equipment, and bedding. We’re more than just the savings; we are a one-stop shop that saves you time and money.”

Also featured on the show were DirectBuy members Doug and Betty Constant. “DirectBuy carries everything you would find in retail stores, except it’s all in one place,” said Doug Constant. “Ninety-nine percent of the time you will find what you need at DirectBuy.”

Valley Life, hosted by Rich Kreps and Lesa Jennings, is a 10 a.m. weekday morning talk show that focuses on delivering information to area residents regarding the best local destinations and products for real people in Fresno. “Going direct to the manufacturer and cutting out the middleman leads to astronomical saving,” said Kreps. “DirectBuy gives people the opportunity to buy without traditional retail markup.”
