Reports on the Retail Frontline
I’m Vicki Semke. My husband, Kirk Schlupp and I started Mig and Tig Custom Furniture located in Chicago in 1993. Recently, I started Yourfurniturelink.com with Jerod Lazan of Mortise & Tenon, Los Angeles. Yourfurniturelink.com is a home decorating directory that features furniture manufacturers ranging from contemporary to antique and eco friendly if you are going green. Buyers may view wholesale furniture lines and vendors can direct traffic to consumer’s local furniture stores. Our perspective comes as a home furnishings retailer on the front lines. We will explore how to meet the challenges we face in this new era. Today’s rapidly changing marketplace requires intuitiveness and flexibility. With this blog on Furniture Today, we hope to share insight, strategies and practical solutions for the long term sustainability of our businesses. I invite you to share your comments, suggestions and ideas as we move forward into a very dynamic time in our industry. I look forward to hearing from to at Vicki@yourfurniturelink.com and please visit us at: Yourfurniturelink.com MigandTig.com MortiseTenon.com
