PDI

Georgia-based showroom chain PDI has been setting a gold standard for showrooms reopening now that restrictions are starting to be reduced.

Per Marketing Director Meredith Fingarson, PDI has been focused on "keeping our teams and customers safe, while maintaining business and serving our customers. One of the ways we are able to increase engagement with our customers is through our adoption of training and technology that allows our sales teams to conduct virtual and phone consultations. Also, our showrooms were always available to shop by appointment only, while following CDC guidelines. Now we are transitioning back into our normal operations and are continuing to blend the traditional sales model with our new digital and virtual sales opportunities." In addition, their merchandising team led by Krista Swiss has been traveling to PDI's showrooms to reset and refresh their lighting galleries with new products ordered at January Lightovation - staying on track with all scheduled merchandising plans.   

Great job, PDI team!

Just last week, the New York Times spoke a little bit about the current popularity of String Lights , saying, " current fashion for hanging strands of tiny lights indoors as well as out can be studied in 155,000 Instagram posts, if you’re so inspired. It is an inexpensive way to turn a room into a miniature wonderland and sustain a holiday feeling year round."
