Ethan Allen (NYSE: ETH)
announces a new opportunity, launching in early fall, for independent
interior designers: the Ethan Allen Interior Design Affiliate Membership
Program (IDA). The new program offers qualified independent designers
the ability to extend to their clients the full range of Ethan Allen
customer services, warranties, and support through participating Ethan
Allen Design Centers.
“The affiliate program is a natural fit for our interior design-focused
brand,” said Chairman and CEO, Farooq Kathwari. “It will be a win-win
partnership. Our approximately 2,000 in-house designers in some 260
Design Centers will help the independent designers to serve their
clients. And the independent designers will introduce the quality,
style, and remarkable value of Ethan
Allen to a whole new clientele.”
“A key part of our growth strategy is to open our doors to qualified
members of the interior design community and build those relationships,”
said Mr. Kathwari. “The new Interior Design Affiliate Membership program
is integral to our natural evolution. We have become an interior design
company with a growing custom business and a vertically integrated
structure that includes manufacturing, distribution, an international
network of Design Centers, and a top-notch design, style and
merchandising team, making us a great resource for the independent
professional.”
Independent designers who are members of the Interior Design Affiliate
Membership program will receive compensation based on their client’s
purchases.
