Sauder Press Release
Fall Forward: Sauder Meets Challenging Times with Surprising Variety of New Intros
Bringing a forward-looking array of product launches in styles and functions designed to meet customers where they live and work.
ARCHBOLD, Ohio — September 30, 2022— While costs for goods and services have reached levels not seen in the U.S. for the past 40 years, Sauder approaches this High Point Market with a ‘fall forward’ vision that embraces today’s challenges with optimism and foresight.
Introducing what may be Sauder’s most extensive lineup of never-before-seen products, this market offers a ‘more is better’ mindset within the Sauder showroom. New furniture collections with varying designs, styles, and finish options deliver an assortment that fits consumer’s desires for home and work spaces.
“Lower consumer confidence and the resulting economic slowdown has absolutely impacted the furniture business in 2022,” said Mike Lambright, Vice President of Marketing at Sauder.
However, the brand known best for affordable offerings with looks that rival case goods has that value proposition on its side. Where do consumers look to save in an economy of record-high gas, food, and energy prices?
“When discretionary spending is limited, optimistically we feel consumers will look to the Sauder brand as one that delivers a value beyond expectation,” said Lambright. “Our ability to readily develop and introduce diverse furniture options that will resonate when consumers are ready to buy helps solidify that expectation.”
Furniture collections in popular styles like Transitional, refined Country, Modern Industrial, Contemporary, and Traditional speak to the varied selections on display. At High Point Market, Sauder is showcasing:
- Dover Edge™ – Designed for teens/tweens, a flexible modern aesthetic makes this ideal for anyone.
- Tiffin Line™ – Casual, yet bold SOHO grouping in dark Raven Oak with black rattan accents.
