Suffern, New York (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Innovative direct marketing executive, Jeff Horowitz, has been named to the furniture industry board, known as the Greater Metropolitan Furnishings Association (GMFA). Jeff Horowitz, president and CEO of LS Direct Marketing, will be part of the GMFA’s newly created Board of Directors. Jeff will serve the board as part of their membership committee.

The formation of the Greater Metropolitan Furnishings Association came on the heels of a December 2011 vote to merge two long-standing furnishing groups in New York and New Jersey. The Greater New York Home Furnishings Association and the Metropolitan Furnishings Association of New Jersey both experienced a decline in membership over recent years due in large part to the consolidation of home furnishing retailers. “To eliminate operational redundancies and strengthen the organization’s ability to represent its trade, their union makes sense”, says Jeff Horowitz.

The goal of GMFA is to provide educational seminars, networking and professional development to their members, who include area home furnishing retailers, supplier representatives and service providers. The newly formed organization has more than 200 members from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, plus a LinkedIn group of nearly 500. They are also affiliated with the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association.

Jeff Horowitz brings both retail experience and marketing expertise to the board. He served ten (10) years as the Vice President of Suffern Fine Furniture, a store his family owned and operated for nearly seven decades, before opening his own marketing business in 1997. Now nearly 15 years later, LS Direct Marketing is the #1 provider of customized direct mail for North America’s furniture industry.

Jeff, along with his business partner Chris Knoebel, and the entire team of LS Direct Marketing provide over 1,000 clients solutions to keep customers, find new ones, build enduring loyalty, and recapture lost buyers using data driven design. “I’ve been on both sides of the equation as a retailer and a service provider, so the solutions my company builds come from a 360-degree marketing perspective. When it comes to serving the GMFA, I’m pleased to be focused on membership development. Merging the NY and NJ home furnishings groups is the right move and is in pace with furniture industry trends. Working as one, GMFA hopes to better the services and benefits we offer our colleagues.”

The Greater Metropolitan Furnishings Association will operate under the direction of Patrick Cory as president. Patrick is managing partner of Cory 1st Choice Home Delivery. There are six (6) other executive board members and sixteen (16), including Jeff Horowitz.

Dine in Romantic Seclusion

ADAIRSVILLE, GA (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Built from a romantic storybook history and setting, Barnsley Gardens Resort is the ultimate couples’ retreat for an unforgettable weekend getaway rendezvous. While they certainly pull out all the stops on Valentine’s Weekend with gourmet dining at the Rice House ($ 80 per person), moonlit horse-drawn carriage rides, and roses and cocktails in the Ruins, every day is Valentine’s Day at Barnsley.

How Does Barnsley Celebrate Love, Let Us Count the Many Ways:

Once Upon a Time: The original manor home that serves as the centerpiece of the resort was built for love by an industrialist for his wife, complete with intricate landscaping and gardens. Furthermore, a (German) Prince bought the land for his Princess and turned it into a resort. The gorgeous, inviting ruins of the original home and gardens have been preserved for guests’ enjoyment.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes: Barnsley Gardens Resort has a real live Fairy Godmother on-site who caters to dreams and wishes. “Fairy,” as she is affectionately known, is well known for enhancing guests’ stays with her signature Love Spells, aiding in creating the most amazing proposals, and generally making one’s heart’s desire come to fruition. No task is too big or too small. As she says, “Give me at least 24 hours notice to arrange anything. For the impossible, give me 3 days.”

Casting a Spell: Fairy Godmother’s Love Spells go beyond champagne, strawberries and roses. Imagine a room transformed into an amazingly romantic, over-the-top setting. Spells have enticing names like Scarlett Nights, Chocolate Fantasies and Shake Your Coconuts. Here’s an example: Love Me S’more – Come back to your cottage after a relaxing dinner and find a big fluffy comforter, tons of pillows, and candles lit in front of a glowing fireplace. Hot chocolate for two, graham crackers, marshmallows, Hershey bars, and real bamboo skewers await your return. A bottle of Bailey’s is provided for sippin’ ‘tween roasting and snugglin.’

It’s Been Said That a Great Meal is the Way to the Heart: Barnsley offers amazing, secluded, and secretive spots to dine. Private dinners can be arranged under the stars in the Ruins; on candlelit, white linen-covered tables in a hidden bamboo garden, or served fireside, complete with personal butler service.

Snuggle Time: Accommodations are set in separate cozy cottages in an English Countryside Village layout, luxuriously decorated with country chic furnishings and feature private fireplaces.

The Couple that Plays Together, Stays Together: The 3,300-acre resort offers couples a variety of exciting activities that include horseback riding, golf, tennis, scenic hiking trails, lawn games, canoeing, and sporting clays. Duos can also relax at the resort’s luxurious European spa where they can indulge in a soothing couples’ massage.

All these unique attributes and amenities truly help Barnsley Gardens Resort stand out when choosing a date night out or romantic getaway. And they have a REAL LIVE FAIRY GODMOTHER on site – it doesn’t get more magical than that!

e-SignLive

Montreal, QC (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

e-SignLive™, the online, on demand electronic signature service for mid-market and small businesses in compliance driven industries, announces that one of the largest independent home furnishings stores in Canada has selected e-SignLive™ in an effort to increase customer loyalty and make it even easier for consumers to do business with them.

This retailer offers customers flexible credit options, including a “buy now, pay in a year” program. In the past, consumers who didn’t pay off their balance on time had to make a special trip to a store just to sign the installment contract that would allow them to refinance that purchase. With e-SignLive™, the consumer instead signs the installment contract from their home or office, without the hassle of going into a store.

One of the reasons this retailer chose e-SignLive™ was because it provides ironclad legal evidence. Plus, it is based on the only e-signing software that has been used and proven for almost 20 years.

In fact, with its one-of-a-kind Process Reviewer™, e-SignLive™ captures a record of everything the signer reads and agrees to, including proof of their identity, and how much time they spend on each web page, as they go through the refinance signing process. The retailer can pull up this evidence record quickly and easily if ever they need to prove legal enforceability later on.

Sign up for the e-SignLive™ Online Electronic Signature Service.

About e-SignLive™

e-SignLive™ is a premier online electronic signature service targeted primarily at the mid-market, small businesses and government organizations that are regulated and compliance-driven, where security, legal evidence, auditability and trust matter. The same e-signature technology trusted by the US Army and the world’s largest banks and insurance companies is now available online, anytime, anywhere, and at a friendly price. Choose e-SignLive when signatures matter to your business™.
