Carpentree specials at Virtual Christian Retailing Show

Carpentree is extending show discounts to stores, as one of several gift suppliers participating in an online service recently launched by Christian Retailing magazine.

Through the Virtual Christian Retailing Show, Sherry Morris of Carpentree highlights several specials for stores. Value-priced tabletop items include placemats, posters and mugs. The placemats, made of hardboard and cork, come in a gift-boxed set of four, retailing for $19.95, many with matching coasters, retailing for $5. Retailers who buy $100 of these tabletop items receive two coasters for free.

Other discounts are offered on Carpentree's stretched canvas, metal wall décor, Christmas mugs and more. To learn more, visit the Christian Retailing Web site or go directly to http://vcrs.christianretailing.com.

The Web-based virtual show involves 25 exhibitors that took part in the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) last month, presenting products and extending some special offers to buyers. The virtual show has had more than 2,750 visits in just over three weeks online.

The suppliers' virtual show presentations include links for further information on specific products, and access to company Web sites, press releases and catalogs.

Running through the end of this month, the show also features Webinar training from Carpentree, on "Successful Art and Gift Sales," and Kerusso, on "Keys to Apparel Sales Success." Carpentree's Webinar can be viewed here.

The new Christian Retailing Community Forum, through which retailers and suppliers can connect for fellowship, encouragement and business, can also be accessed through the virtual show site.
