Nothing casual about giving… DirectBuy employees donate proceeds from Spirit Day to Boys & Girls Club.

MERRILLVILLE, IN…

While casual days might be the norm for many companies in corporate America, the staff at DirectBuy’s Corporate Headquarters in Merrillville, Indiana, has turned the opportunity to wear jeans to work into a way to generate donations for local causes. For a $2 donation, DirectBuy employees purchase the right to dress down on a predetermined workday. The most recent casual day, or Spirit Day (as it’s referred to at DirectBuy), was held on Wednesday, March 17, 2010, and raised $3,254 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana (BGCNWI).

“Spirit Days have been very well received by our employees, but the fact that this one occurred on St. Patrick’s Day gave us the opportunity to make an event out of it,” said Candice Baeza, a team leader at DirectBuy’s Corporate Headquarters. “So, to really drum up donations and get in the spirit of the day, we served a traditional corned beef and cabbage lunch with a Green River punch and raffled off a Nintendo Wii for staff who participated.”

A special guest, Greg Reinholt, development manager for BGCNWI, drew the winning ticket held by Josie Gonzalez, an administrative assistant in DirectBuy’s IT department. “I kept telling everyone my name was going to be pulled, but I never really expected it to happen,” said Gonzalez.

In addition to drawing the winner of the Wii, Reinholt spoke to DirectBuy staff about BGCNWI and its special relationship with DirectBuy (in 2009, DirectBuy employees contributed more than $3600 to BGCNWI) and what their donations meant to the organization. He cited the story of Andrew King, a young man from Gary whose life was greatly impacted by his time spent at several Boys and Girls Clubs throughout his youth.

“I am very happy to be working with DirectBuy. We share a common set of values for our respective members in that we both pride ourselves on individual care, assuring our members receive excellent service,” said Reinholt. “A natural relationship has developed between our organizations and I believe it will be a long-lasting one. Already DirectBuy and its staff have been very generous – 2009’s gifts enabled 20 children to become members of the Clubs!”

 “Our Spirit Days are a lot of fun, especially ones that fall on a fun day like St. Patrick’s Day, but hearing Andrew King’s story really made an impression on everybody,” said Senior Director of Merchandise Services, Patti Titus. “In addition to having some fun and getting to wear jeans to work, our Spirit Days are making a difference to people in the communities in which we live and there’s certainly nothing casual about that.”

Barrie residents win $25,000 home makeover from DirectBuy

BARRIE, ONTARIO…

 When Gina and Rob Baxter received a notice in the mail telling them they had won $25,000 in DirectBuy’s Home Makeover Program, they thought it was just another advertisement and dismissed it as unimportant. Even once DirectBuy of Barrie Co-Owner Christine DeMarsh called the Baxters to let them know they really had won, they still didn’t believe it at first. “It took a few minutes to really sink in,” said DeMarsh. “Then they got really excited and thanked us over and over again.”

“We were speechless when we confirmed we had really won,” said Ron Baxter. “All we could think was, ‘WOW, what awesome news!’” Although the initial shock wore off, the Baxters were still excited days later at the cheque presentation ceremony. “They were ecstatic, and could barely contain their excitement,” said DeMarsh. “Rob was practically beaming while he discussed the renovations this would allow him and his wife to do on their home.” After paying off a credit card, the Baxters plan to use the rest of the money to install hardwood flooring, add a deck extension, and do some yard work, with hopes to do even more.

The Home Makeover Program is an exciting event for both the winners themselves as well as DirectBuy employees. “I was almost excited as the Baxters were,” said DeMarsh. “I felt like I had won to be part of this giveaway and see it change someone’s life.” And that’s just what the Home Makeover winnings have the potential to do: “This happened at a very good time. It really helps out and takes some major stresses away,” said Gina Baxter. “We’re really thankful to DirectBuy for this opportunity; it’s absolutely perfect that it happened to us.”

Over the past few years, DirectBuy has distributed more than a million dollars in prize money to both members and non-members as part of their Home Makeover Program, designed to help consumers create the home of their dreams.

Deerfield resident shoots and scores, wins Blackhawks tickets in DirectBuy Club contest.

CHICAGO, GURNEE, HOFFMAN ESTATES, NAPERVILLE, TINLEY PARK, IL …

As the leading home improvement and home furnishings club offering direct insider prices, DirectBuy Club has a goal of helping members get more for less. Deerfield resident Esra Ozdaryal found that out firsthand when she visited DirectBuy of Lake County in Gurnee, Illinois, to learn more about membership. After completing an Open House tour, she was entered into a raffle that eventually won her two tickets to the Chicago Blackhawks versus St. Louis Blues game on April 7, 2010.

“Congratulations to Esra Ozdaryal for winning the two tickets to the Blackhawks-Blues game,” said Darrell Richards, the Managing Partner of DirectBuy of Lake County. “Judging by the number of participants we had, this was no small accomplishment.”
 
The drawing was part of a special promotion put on by DirectBuy of Gurnee, DirectBuy of Chicago North, and DirectBuy of DuPage County. Leading up to the drawing on April 2, 2010, fans who attended an Open House during March at any of those DirectBuy Clubs received a piece of authentic NHL memorabilia and were entered into a drawing for the aforementioned tickets to the Blackhawks-Blues game (members of the general public were also invited to enter).
 
“The Hawks have been a hot commodity all year long and fans have been chomping at the bit for the playoffs to begin,” added Richards. “So there’s been quite a bit of interest from our members, guests and staff.

Due to a previous commitment, Esra could not attend the game. The tickets were then donated to the Chicago Boys & Girls Club. One of the Boys & Girls Club members, 16-year-old Shango, and an adult guardian attended the game.

DirectBuy Club offers everything hockey 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 brands. 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.

Kent, Washington residents win $50,000 home makeover

Gordon and Christina Patchell (second and third from right) receive $50,000 check from DirectBuy of South Seattle staff.

KENT, WASHINGTON…

When Gordon and Christina Patchell walked into DirectBuy of South Seattle on March 5, 2010, they weren’t making their typical visit to the Club to shop. They were about to be handed a $50,000 check to makeover their home, thanks to the Home Makeover contest they entered while attending an Open House at DirectBuy.

“We were considering renovating our kitchen and heard some great things about the savings we could get through DirectBuy, so we decided to check it out,” said Mr. Patchell. “Now we can design the kitchen we’ve always wanted without squabbling over materials – suddenly what grade of granite to get won’t even be a point of debate.”

That kitchen remodel may have been the plan all along, Home Makeover winnings or not, but the Patchells intended to wait a few years before getting started – they knew they would do it “one day” but they were working on building their budget first. Now, with more than adequate funds to get going, they are moving full steam ahead.

“I’m thrilled that this is going to a family that will appreciate the benefits of a DirectBuy membership,” said Steve Pallagi, co-owner of DirectBuy of South Seattle. “I know what this will mean for Gordon and Christina and I’m really excited for them.”

“We were shocked and delighted when we found out we were the grand prize winners,” said Mrs. Patchell. “We both read the letter several times before the news sunk in – we never win anything big, so it was completely unexpected and astounding.” Pallagi was shocked when he found out as well, “This is the first time a DirectBuy Club in Washington has had a Home Makeover winner.”

The Patchells are excited to get started on their big kitchen project, but beyond that, they plan to use the rest of their winnings to redo some other areas of their home. “We are looking forward to making use of our membership,” said Mr. Patchell. “DirectBuy really came through for us.”

Over the past few years, DirectBuy has distributed more than a million dollars in prize money to both members and non-members as part of their Home Makeover Program, designed to help consumers create the home of their dreams.

Spring now on deck…Get your deck ready for spring and summer entertaining.

MERRILLVILLE, IN…

To many homeowners, a deck project is an all-or-nothing proposition. You either rebuild or stand pat. Yet if you’re not in rebuild mode, a spring “makeover” can not only make your deck look better for entertaining, it can also preserve its long-term health.

“Whether you live in a cold or warm climate, winter can do a real number on a deck. So adding ‘cleaning and repairing the deck’ to your spring cleaning chore list is a pretty good idea,” said Mike Georgeff, of DirectBuy. “That can range from tightening loose boards and hammering loose nails, to cleaning your deck with a bleach solution to take care of mold and mildew that may have built up over the winter.”

If your deck is in need of a more thorough cleaning, you may want to consider purchasing or renting a pressure washer. And if it’s been more than a year or two since you stained your deck, a new coat with sealant is probably in order. Using a different color stain can literally create an entire new look for your deck and preserve it for the long haul.

Other than cosmetic changes, you may want to add some accessories and furniture to expand on the new look of your deck. Some relatively simple and cost-effective ideas include:

  • Replacing old lighting and/or installing new solar lights – classic wooden post caps or solar light caps can easily be glued on to give your deck a new look.
  • Add new furniture – consider different types of furniture for your deck: porch rockers, recliners, wicker armchairs, and love seats. End tables and coffee tables, items typically thought of for indoor use, can also make quite an impact outdoors.
  • Plants, plants, and more plants – fill planter boxes with vines and colorful flowers or load planters with ornamental grasses. Lightweight containers and soil-less planting mix makes moving plants around easier. To minimize maintenance, add water-retention polymers and slow-release fertilizer.
  • Carpeting – while carpeting an entire deck might be impractical, a rug underneath the table where meals will be eaten does provide a more comfortable experience for guests. It also protects the deck from scratches as people come and go from the table.
  • Cabinetry for the grill area – many grills come with built in storage space; you can really cut down the number of trips to the “indoor” kitchen by adding portable cabinets or storage units and shelving.

“By following some or all of these guidelines, you can makeover your deck in a weekend or two,” said Georgeff. “Even better, you can give your deck a new look without the investment of rebuilding your deck or adding on.”

DirectBuy Club offers many products to help with your deck makeover, including furniture, grills, lighting, and other accessories—all at direct insider prices. In addition, DirectBuy also employs product specialists and designers, so if you need assistance selecting products or advice on how to go about a home improvement project, you have seasoned professionals at your service.

New Orleans residents win $50,000 home makeover

DirectBuy of New Orleans
DirectBuy of New Orleans Owners Mike Seiler (far left) and Dustin Morgan (far right) hand $50,000 check to Jerome and Grace Lomba.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA…

When Jerome and Grace Lomba arrived home one day in late February and checked their mail, they weren’t expecting to see a letter stating they had won $50,000 in the Home Makeover contest they entered while attending an Open House at DirectBuy of New Orleans. They had visited the club simply to satisfy their curiosity about DirectBuy’s unique concept, so when they read the letter telling them they had won and later listened to the voicemail left by Mike Seiler, co-owner of DirectBuy of New Orleans, they couldn’t believe their eyes or their ears.

“We didn’t believe it at first,” said Mr. Lomba. “We thought there was some catch to it – it wasn’t until we had the check in hand that it really sunk in.”

 “This whole event has had a great effect on the staff in the club,” said Seiler. The club employees were able to attend the champagne ceremony on March 13, 2010, where the check was handed over to the couple. “It was a very nice ceremony,” said Mrs. Lomba. “We really appreciated the club doing all that for us.” 

The Lombas’ home had been damaged by Katrina in 2005, so they had already rebuilt and refurnished their home by the time they attended the DirectBuy Club Open House. But they still found a way to put their winnings to great use. “We regret that we found out about DirectBuy after we rebuilt our home,” said Mr. Lomba. “But even after taxes, we have used the winnings to pay off our mortgage and some lingering credit card bills, and we are holding the rest in reserve to pay for our two sons’ student loans.”

Over the past few years, DirectBuy has distributed more than a million dollars in prize money to both members and non-members as part of their Home Makeover Program, designed to help consumers create the home of their dreams.
