【文章摘要】 Trends in the residential replacement market are creating opportunities for retailers to make better margins by selling better carpet. Even as carpet share in homes has been declining, those rooms - bedrooms and some living rooms - where it is still popular are prime areas for better goods. "With carpet being more of a room by room purchase than in the past, I think all brands that show interesting patterns and textures have an advantage," explained Paul Comis-key, president, residential sales at the Dixie Group, which focuses on higher end goods with its Masland and Fab-rica brands. |
