The Showrooms of Excellence program offered by VitrA is designed to provide participating showrooms with display advice, marketing support and point-of-sale materials.Since its introduction in 2006, about 100% of showroom participants were recognized at the platinum level, the highest classification offered by VitrA.
To be classified as a Showroom of Excellence, a showroom must meet the following criteria:
1. Platinum Level - showroom must contain four suites, two furniture pieces and four pieces of CounterWare™.
2. Gold Level - showroom should have three suites, one furniture piece and four pieces of CounterWare™.
3. Silver Level - showroom must feature two suites and four pieces of CounterWare™.
In 2007, VitrA plans to implement its Showrooms of Excellence Program in more than 15 additional showrooms, with even more in 2008.
Showrooms that wish to participate in the program should contact their manufacturers rep.
