MONTHLY UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2016<br />

Sales Update Schon Duke, v.p. sales<br />

Garden Party was a huge success!<br />

Summer Classics had its 15th annual<br />

Garden Party this year in our new<br />

Corporate headquarters. We had the<br />

largest dealer turn out in attendance<br />

ever. Many were visiting us for the very<br />

first time. We had new and existing<br />

key dealers from all over the country in<br />

“round table” discussions where they<br />

got to share best practices. We had our<br />

showroom set up with all of the 2017<br />

collections displayed beautifully. The<br />

dealers in attendance responded with<br />

orders and incredible interest.<br />

Many dealers are just now stepping<br />

into the outdoor category and seeing<br />

the SC products on display got their<br />

wheels turning. Summer Classics,<br />

being a one stop shop for the category,<br />

makes us the perfect go-to leader in<br />

the industry. I have received numerous<br />

compliments on our company, people<br />

and products from these new dealers<br />

in attendance. It is apparent we have<br />

made and influenced some of the best<br />

retailers in America!<br />

Garden Party is just one way we are<br />

able to set ourselves apart from the<br />

competition. We could not have<br />

gotten that separation without all of<br />

our amazing help behind the scenes.<br />

From our display team, logistic team<br />

and countless other Summer Classics<br />

employees this Garden Party could<br />

not have been as successful as it was.<br />

Thank you to everyone who made this<br />

Garden Party an amazing success.<br />

The sales team is building off of this<br />

successful Garden Party and booking<br />

Early Buy orders as you read this article.<br />

We have many dealers to work with<br />

and are looking forward to another<br />

successful Early Buy season. The<br />

products are amazing. The discount<br />

programs are set and Summer Classics<br />

is poised to grow again this year!<br />

SC Private Label<br />

Harold Hudson, president<br />

Summer Classics Private just finished another successful Garden Party. We showed our entire line in the Museum area of the<br />

building and customers were receptive to our new offerings.<br />

We have added several past Summer Classics products to our 2017 line and they were on display during the Garden Party. The<br />

new offerings are Palm, Milano, Ocean Grand Teak, Aire, Aqua, Dolphin, Kipling, Detron, Equestrian, St Croix and Tetra.<br />

Customers now have the ability to change the resin colors and finishes since these items are now in the Private Label offerings.<br />

We will be showing these collections at the September Casual Show and adding them to our catalogue.<br />

We had several new customers of Private Label commit to containers during the Garden Party. Two of these customers will be<br />

using their own logo branding plates on the furniture making the product their own product.<br />
