FAQs:

How long has this tool been available? This is a new tool we have created in answer to our Designer and Trade client requests. We want to make this a robust tool and resource for you. Because we are in Beta testing, please let us know what you think and provide any suggestions for improvements we can make.

Can I edit the information I send to my client? You can easily edit the information that is included in an email to show just a product image, or include information like client and/or retail price, notes, and model numbers. You can even upload your own company logo.

Can my client order from you if I send them an email from your tool? No, we wanted to allow you the ability to send your clients information for decision making purposes, but prevent them from ordering on their own. Your clients would need to contact you once they make their decision and then you would place the order in our system.
