Benefits of CDG Membership
Contemporary Design Group Membership
The Contemporary Design Group is a national association of independent retail contemporary furniture stores. The primary focus of our group is to harness our collective knowledge to improve the consumer experience, increase our buying power, collaborate on successful business strategies, and provide innovative advertising solutions for the independent contemporary retail furniture storeowner.
Dynamic Buying Group Our group buying power affords Contemporary Design Group members not only tremendous pricing opportunities for domestic and imported furniture and accessories, but design exclusives that only our members can offer.
$130 Million Strong Member sales volume is over $130 million. Membership is offered to select stores, by trading area, on a totally exclusive basis.
ContemporaryHome Collection Available exclusively at Contemporary Design Group member stores, the ContemporaryHome Collection is a carefully chosen, exciting assemblage of the best designs by leading international furniture manufacturers. Many designs are created just for Contemporary Design Group, and manufactured to our exacting specifications. Our buying committees select additional exclusive designs from existing product lines, and negotiate competitive pricing strategies for best customer value.
Advertising Services TV Spots, periodic full-color circulars, store brochures, newspaper ads, drop tags, window banners, and other in-store materials, are just some of the image-enhancing tools available to our members. (See our sample TV spots here.)
Meetings and Conferences At our annual conference in San Diego, CA we share ideas in advertising, buying, operations, employee relations—every aspect of running a contemporary retail furniture store.
We meet throughout the year at most major markets, which allows us time to further explore strategies for our mutual benefit and success.
