2008 Price Increases

Every November and December we receive new pricing from the dozens of manufacturers we represent for the coming year. While some manufacturers have been able to hold pricing fairly steady for 2008, we have also observed some fairly hefty price increases that are coming. If your church is considering significant church furnishing purchases after the first of the year, it likely would be of benefit for you to consider that purchase yet this month. Most of the manufacturers we work with will delay shipment for several weeks, if needed, for the church. So, you can buy in 2007 at lower pricing, take delivery in 2008, and in the process save significant dollars. Please contact us if you are interested in making sure you beat these coming price increases for your church.

Chair Specials

This month we have two great specials to offer churches from Comfortek Seating.

First, if you’re looking for pew style chairs for your worship area, the SS-701 is a great choice. There are many similar chairs on the church market today, but we have found the SS-701 to be the best value for churches. For the remainder of 2007, Comfortek is offering to upgrade 5% of the amount of your total order of chairs to ARMED chairs for no extra cost. These chairs fit seamlessly together and provide churches an option for those individuals who need the stability of an armed chair to be seated and to stand up. On a 200 chair order, the value of this special translates into almost $500. Please contact us for more information.

Secondly, Comfortek has introduced a new crossover chair to the church market. For a limited time, they are also providing very attractive “INTRO” pricing! The SS-661 is able to be used in multiple settings. Since it is not as wide as a standard sanctuary chair, it is able to fit well around tables and in classrooms, yet it still provides the comfort, quality and flexibility you expect. The special pricing for this chair’s introduction is just $28.50 each. Please contact us for more information.

Bean Bags?

Did you know that Bean Bags are becoming more and more popular as a substitute for chairs in preschool and elementary ministry environments? A few months ago we were among those surprised to learn of this through a new study indicating that bean bags provide a more comfortable and effective learning environment for children. Grantco provides a superior bean bag chair that has proven to be extremely durable with double stitched seams and over-stuffed with beads. The vinyl exterior is easy to clean and disinfect. These bags come in multiple sizes and are quite cost competitive. Please contact us for more information as we’re able to offer special discounting on these bean bags in December.

Bunn-O-Matic

With the rising popularity of coffee shops that churches are placing within their facilities, we found ourselves being asked often for more than tables, chairs and barstools for these environments. Since there is always a great need for a wide variety of support furnishings we decided to provide access to a select number of top of the line manufacturers of support furnishings and equipment, including in this case, coffee equipment. As a result, we have been able to arrange a partnership with Bunn-O-Matic with special pricing for our church customers for all your coffee, iced tea, hot tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino, frozen granita beverages, juice, and espresso beverages equipment. Any church can find solutions for all their beverage needs at Bunn, and those solutions are always of the highest quality. Please contact us for more information as we’re able to offer special discounting on all Bunn Products in December.
