VISION STATEMENT
We will create the world's best "source to business" home furnishings
and accents company serving both small and large retail partners.
Using technology, leading edge logistics and an innovative business
model, we will shatter old standards for delivery time, value, product
uniqueness and selection as we strive to satisfy every customer.
Decorize.com announces the launch of their 7-day delivery logistics model for national retailer
Dillard's. Up to 20 SKU's of home accent products will be offered on Dillard's web site
beginning this month. Using decorize.com's patent pending logistics model, product will be
delivered from the Far East directly to Dillard's customers in an average of 7 days.
The business model means that Dillard's will not incur the normal costs of warehousing,
labor, inventory, and associated costs. Dillard's will also not own the inventory and only
pays for the goods if a customer clicks on their site to buy the merchandise.
Beta testing for the model was done in August and September of 2000. According to Jon Baker
CEO of Decorize.com, "Dillard's has been an exceptional partner in pioneering this unique
business model…we could not have launched with a better company." Baker went on to say that the
model will only be used for a select group of large retail partners and he anticipates several
other retailers utilizing the 7-day model in 2001.
Decorize.com was formed in early 2000 and is the first business dedicated to using new
technology and logistics systems to deliver premium home accents and furnishings directly from
the Far East to retailers and their customers. The business model offers product to retailers
at up to 70% below wholesale on thousands of items by eliminating the non-value added costs
that have been layered into the home furnishings industry for years. The business model also
offers various logistics models ranging from the 7-day model to 90-day delivery from the Far
East.
