January 16, 2009 //  by admin

VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC…

In offering consumers an entirely new way to shop by buying directly from the manufacturers and their authorized suppliers, DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver strives for excellence. Recently, the Tri Cities Chamber of Commerce acknowledged that effort with DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver’s nomination for its business excellence award.

  • has made an outstanding contribution in economic development, innovation and community services;
  • displays a positive social conscience;
  • and whose key figures are leaders in the business community.

“There are many wonderful businesses in the Tri-Cities community doing phenomenal things. I know it sounds like a cliché, but being nominated is an honor unto itself,” said Peter Ruetz, owner of DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver.

“DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver has been a leader not only in business, but in the Tri-Cities communities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. In particular, their work with the SHARE program to help physically and mentally challenged individuals assimilate into the workplace has been exemplary. They are a most worthy nominee for the business excellence award,” said Jill Cook, executive director of the Tri Cities Chamber.

Winners of the Business Excellence Awards will be announced on Thursday, January 31 at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club. The Business Excellence awards other categories include: Outstanding Small Business of the Year, Legacy Leadership, Newsmaker of the Year, Business Person of the Year and Innovative Spirit.

“Go to your room!”…DirectBuy provides tips to designing the “perfect kid’s room.”

November 19, 2008 //  by admin

VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC…

While in the past, a parent yelling, “Go to your room!” may have been some sort of punishment, nowadays it could pass as a reward, depending on the design and furniture selection your child’s room. DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver, the leading members-only showroom and home design centers, not only offer consumers a brand new way to save on home improvement projects, but also offers some helpful tips on designing the perfect kid’s room.

“A child’s bedroom serves as much more than a place for you kids to play. It’s a study, computer room, play room, game room, video/entertainment center and even a guest room,” said Jade Allen, owner of DirectBuy of Vancouver. “By following a few simple guidelines, you can create a room that’s comfortable for them to sleep and play in, but also maximizes the space.”

Some guidelines to follow include:

 

●        Involve your children in the buying of the furniture and decorating process; it’s their room, after all, and it stands to reason they will be more comfortable with items they helped select.

●        Take into account your child’s age, gender and how long the furniture will be used (e.g. bunk beds might be fun at 12, but at 16 your teenager might want some more space)

●        Only consider bedroom furniture that has quality construction and age-appropriate design. It is also a good idea to bring children along while shopping to make sure the bedding is comfortable.

●        Plan for growth – not just your child getting bigger but acquiring more things and clothing that will need to be stored.

Both DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver carry a large selection of brand-name kids’ furniture at wholesale prices direct from the manufacturers and their authorized suppliers. In addition, DirectBuy employs product specialists and designers who can help parents and children select furniture and accessories to create the look you want for your child’s room.

“Sure, parents might lose a little leverage by sending a child to their room not being seen as a form of punishment,” laughs Allen. “The upside is that by creating a room that’s a haven for your child, they’ll be happier, which in turn makes parents happier. So everybody wins.”

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the manufacturer. With four convenient locations in the greater Vancouver area (Victoria, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Kelowna), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
