Decorize Survey Validates E-Procurement Model
-- 100% of Respondents Indicate They Would Buy Again at Decorize.com --
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Nov. 26 --
Decorize, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DCRZ), a rapidly-emerging provider of
direct sourcing solutions for the global home decor market, announced today
the results of a survey conducted by its e-procurement division, Decorize.com,
on their small retailer segment. One-hundred percent (100%) of survey
respondents indicated they would conduct business again with Decorize.com.
Decorize.com initiated a survey to 393 small retailers to measure how its
source-to-small business model is affecting its target market. More than 100
out of the 393 retailers responded to the survey. All respondents had used
Decorize.com to source from the Far East in the home furnishings sector.
Key findings include:
100% of respondents said they would use the model again and buy from
Decorize.com;
76% of customers said the model delivered exceptional value and is the
primary motivator for buying again;
47% said they were impressed with the freight inclusive pricing model;
80% said they thought the merchandise was unique.
Jody Braun of Braun`s Home Furnishings in Jackson, Mississippi, commented
in the survey, "I`m very impressed with how well things come in considering
they come direct from overseas, nothing has come in damaged." Another retailer
responded, "Items we have received have not stayed on the floor, they are
going out the door fast."
Dave Orwick, VP of operations for Decorize.com, stated, "Two outstanding
features of the model is first, the ability to source from the Far East on an
order as little as $250 under a single cost structure that includes freight
charges, and second, the ability to deliver high-quality goods with a breakage
rate under 2%. Clearly, our small scale retail base is responding to these
industry-first offerings. The positive feedback from the survey indicates we
are on track to become the world`s first and leading sourcing window to
service the 60,000 small retailer market in America."
