America's Window Covering Buying Network is comprised of hundreds of independent designers, decorators, workrooms and retail stores across the United States and Canada. The purpose of The Network is to provide members with buying programs from leading suppliers that will allow members to purchase product at better pricing than on their own. In addition to better pricing, program benefits range from monthly promotions to reduced sampling costs, member web sites, promotional media, and help to promote your business.

Savings will depend on your purchases, but you can expect savings of 5% to 15% or more depending on the products you purchase most often. You will receive savings on all major manufacturers and product lines. Savings of thousands of dollars per year are attainable! Here is what one of our new members had to say...

"The Network saved my company over $3,000 on our very first order! The Network gives us a great competitive advantage." Darlene Bruns, Owner of Sheerly Elegant Fabric Creations.

Monthly promotions are available to all Network members via the Promotional Calendar. Discounts off product, Free Upgrades and Features, etc. all provide you with a competitive advantage.

"The Network News" provides industry updates from our programmed manufacturers, headquarter news, monthly promotional updates and much more. The newsletter provides you with a great source of industry information.

The public side features an Idea Studio showing various room settings the public can view to find design ideas. Each Network member can have their own landing page for their web presence. A member may include their personnel photo, bio, logo, and contact information. Customization is available too.

A lead generating search feature allows the public the ability to find a Network member within their market area.
