DirectBuy of Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA…

The Manitoba Welcome Wagon Association recently honoured DirectBuy of Winnipeg for its support during the past 10 years. DirectBuy of Winnipeg’s Membership Director Beverley Ebertz and Service Supervisor Helen Wiebe received the plaque from the Manitoba Welcome Wagon Association at the Association’s Bridal & Baby Trade show held on February 7, 2010.

“As a company that helps people to create the homes of their dreams, it’s always seemed quite natural to support an organization like Welcome Wagon, which has a similar purpose in making people new to the community feel at home,” said Lynn Till, owner of DirectBuy of Winnipeg. “We’re quite touched by this recognition and look forward to continuing to support Welcome Wagon in the years to come.”

Founded in 1930, Welcome Wagon is a Canadian-owned, free greeting service renowned for their “welcome baskets” and friendly visits paid to families undergoing a change in lifestyle – including moving to a new neighborhood, planning a wedding, expecting a baby, a new executive, manager or professional, 50 plus, or new parents/grandparents. In its 10 years as a supporter, DirectBuy of Winnipeg has contributed gift items to the welcome baskets given to families in the Winnipeg area.

“As Area Manager of Manitoba, it is my pleasure to acknowledge and honour DirectBuy of Winnipeg and to express appreciation for their more than 10 years of sponsorship in our Welcome Wagon service to the community and special event programs,” said Sandra Ross, of the Manitoba Welcome Wagon Association. “It is our hope that our relationship will continue to be mutually beneficial for many more years to come.”

WINNIPEG, MB…

DirectBuy of Winnipeg, the home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, awarded $25,000 to Winnipeg resident Balic Nihad on Wednesday, May 6, 2009 as part of the company’s national Home Makeover Program.

With flowers in hand, Balic came ready to show his gratitude to the owners of DirectBuy of Winnipeg, and displayed much enthusiasm upon being named DirectBuy’s grand prize winner. “I am completely overjoyed,” he explained. “I still can’t believe I won $25,000. I would never have imagined anything like this happening to me.”

Balic Nihad and his girlfriend, Merina Topcic, plan to use their newfound fortune to purchase their dream home. Balic hopes to find a place in the same community in which he has made his home for the past 16 years after emigrating to Canada from Bosnia. Over the past few years, DirectBuy has distributed more than $450,000 in prize money to both members and non-members as part of their Home Makeover Contest, designed to help consumers create the home of their dreams.

Dwight and Lynn Till, who own and operate DirectBuy of Winnipeg, were ecstatic that they were able to help someone from their community realize their dreams. “I was very excited when I found out the Home Makeover grand prize winner was from our club,” co-owner Lynn Till explained. “The check presentation went wonderfully and I am happy that we could be part of this life-changing experience for such a nice couple.”
