With over 65 million square feet of flooring sold and more than 100,000 satisfied customers, SMART Carpet has taken a lesson from history and it has propelled the company into extraordinary growth.
Manasquan, New Jersey – August 14, 2010 – There is much to learn from the past and no one knows that better than SMART Carpet. From the SMART Carpet head quarters in central New Jersey, Chief Executive Officer Brendan Phillips took a step back and looked into the past. That allowed him to take many steps forward, and the race has just begun.
Back in 1899, Sears & Roebuck printed their first catalog and the concept of a consumer shopping somewhere other than a bricks and mortar store was born in North America. That was 96 years before SMART Carpet met their first customer. With that said, many people are still not familiar with the benefits of shopping at home. SMART Carpet and Flooring began operating in 1995 as a local Shop at Home floor covering service providing floor covering to Monmouth and Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Customers are now able to choose from thousands of floor covering options without ever leaving the convenience of their home. Additionally, SMART Carpet has solved one of the most basic issues when shopping for floor coverings, and that is how might it look at home. SMART Carpet allows its customers to set a time that is convenient to meet in the home with a trained professional and discuss measuring, layout, padding and installation. One hundred years after the first at home direct sale was made, SMART Carpet sets the pace for convenience, speed and quality.
SMART Carpet & Flooring offers a complete line of name brand flooring products for carpet, wood, vinyl, laminate and tile. With brands such as Smart Strand, Stainmaster, Mohawk, Armstrong, Shaw and Bruce SMART Carpet offers name brand products while allowing its customers to benefit from direct to consumer pricing. By operating as a “Mill Direct” service, SMART Carpet customers may benefit from discounts up to 50% or more.
By providing a shopping experience in a customer’s home, not only can buyers have a detailed discussion about floor coverings but SMART Carpet goes one step further. SMART Carpet provides free premium padding with each carpet purchase. SMART Carpet also provides free furniture moving, one of the biggest issues when installing new floor coverings. SMART Carpet also covers standard box stairs for free. This alone can save a homeowner hundreds of dollars. When you combine the price, convenience and expanded services it is easy to see why SMART Carpet has learned from the past, applied it to today’s business practices and is charting a course of continued growth.
