s a souvenir from a recent trip to Turkey, I was de-termined to bring home an authentic, handmade

Turkish rug. My tour guide brought us to an artisan’s studio where they made these fabulous rugs by hand—clearly hours of work for each design. Given that this studio was recommended by the tour guide, I felt confident pur-chasing one—it had all the stamps and authenticating details on the back, so I signed it and had it shipped home. My lovely rug arrived but unfortunately, within several weeks, Mo, my faithful canine friend of the past 12 years, had an accident on it—a bad one. I rushed it to a rug specialist in town and discov-ered that it is not a silk handmade mas-terpiece but a mercerized cotton rug valued at maybe one fifth of the price. As the owner of the local shop said, “It’s the price of education.”

The lesson I (re)learned? It’s impor-tant to know and trust your suppliers. And with that in mind, this issue is filled with useful, reliable information covering all aspects of our industry.

These include:• Our annual Industry Resource

Guide, featuring companies dedi-cated to their customers’ satisfaction. Keep this print version handy, but also bookmark the online directory in order to find great suppliers all year long

• An announcement that WCAA and WFCP have come to agreement to merge their respective certification programs under the WFCP umbrella. Find out more on page 28.

• The introduction of a new column

focused on engineered shading sys-tems. Our relationship with the Inter-national Builder’s Association during our show at Design & Construction Week have pointed out even more the disconnect between architects and the reality of what will work on the windows. Our goal is to educate architects on the nuances of design that are so important to what will happen when the homeowner needs some window coverings. Following up on the theme of this column, we will introduce the Architect’s Pavil-

ion at IWCE in 2015 —a learning area where architects can learn about window coverings and the wonderful products available.

• And speaking of IWCE—another reminder that the show comes ear-lier than ever, January 20-22, in Las Vegas. Given that timing, we’ve been spending these long summer days hard at work on the seminars and events for the show. Because those three days are so crowded, we’ve decided to offer a special new pre-conference program on January 19. Designology features four separate limited-seating courses that will combine pre-show webinars, on-site and hands-on learning in small group sessions, and much more. See page 40 for more details.

Enjoy summer—it’s hard to believe we’re already so hard at work for Janu-ary’s show! V

Marina Klima Goldberg on ombré

Officially Obsessed With

Not so long ago I had a client that did not like solids, prints or

sheers, but was ready to sign the order right away if the fabric was

right. I showed her an ombré silk fabric that sealed the deal right

away. While I am still working on this project, I become more and

more fascinated with ombré effect in fabric, furniture and accents

because of its versatility. ¶ Ombré is a French word meaning “shad-

ed” and is usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from

light to dark. When it comes to painting surfaces or furniture, it is

usually three paint colors that are close to each other on the color

wheel. For the fabrics, the color effect is produced by arranging dif-

ferent tones in the warp. The effect is subtle, and provides a look that

can be used in any setting, traditional or modern, and can be used

artfully on surfaces, fabrics and furniture. Here are some examples

of my favorite applications of the ombré effect. V

hen I was asked to contribute an article my first thought was, “Jeez, like I got nuthin’ better to do…” But when I considered where this industry would be without this magazine

and the International Window Coverings Expo I knew I had to get off my butt and share some marketing ideas.

To run our business, we need to generate at least 2,000 leads a year. Working to generate leads is the most important thing I do every day. So here are 10 things you should be do-ing with your business…or just fuggedaboutit.

Location, Location, Location (or it’s the location, stupid) Some people work out of their home or a van, but we believe in retail stores. If you are going to invest in a retail store, go for the best location you can find. The rent may be higher, but consider that rent to be advertising. To determine the best location, we look for visible highway locations—in our region that means thousands of cars passing by each day. In comparison, by choosing even the most upscale downtown location, we’re limited to the population of one or two towns.

Print is not Dead (it’s only on life support We have eliminated most of our consumer-print budget, but we still support certain publications. We work with publica-tions that work with us. We provide information and photos by letting them know when we bring in celebrities for spe-cial events and they appreciate the content.

If you are going to run in print, look for publications with paid subscriber bases and negotiate everything—price, posi-tion, frequency and more.

Unless You’re Living Under a Rock, You Have a Website…But the question is, when is the last time you did a complete overhaul? Not just new pictures and testimonials, but a total refresh. We are in the midst of doing for several rea-sons, including the fact that PCs and laptops are no longer preferred media—most people now view your website from

Ten Tips (Jersy-Style) to Grow Your

a phone or tablet. Because of this, your website must be RWD (It means responsive web design, look it up.)

Beg, Borrow and Steal (email addresses)All our ads promise coupons if customers sign up. We have a Room Makeover contest to get names. Lately, many events we participate in send us spreadsheets of all attendees—and their email addresses. Nice! (And I’m kidding about the steal part.)

If Ya Got ’Em, Smoke ’Em (or send ’em, meaning emails)One email per week to your customers is NOT too many. Some people unsubscribe, but not many. Just make the content interesting. We mix promotional emails with mes-sages about upcoming events, articles about our business, humor, repair services or just wishing people a happy holiday (while informing them of our holiday hours).

SEO, PPC, RWD (WTF????)Unless you are some sort of techie genius, this stuff is not easy to handle by yourself. So…

…I Know a Guy…I am not going to tell you his name, but you need to “know a guy” (or gal) to help you with website Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click and all the other aspects that will make your website work. Ya gotta getta guy…

Social Media (anything social is so NOT Jersey)We had to be dragged into the world of social media. We hate being social—but it is good business. And we learned is that this is hard to hire a third-party to manage because for a retail business social media is local and personal.

What Makes Special Events Special? (’Cause you like them.) We are always looking for fun stuff like food and wine events, street fairs (with good food) and we have even done events at the racetrack. (Who doesn't like the track?) These events can be fun and effective for you and your staff. We find these events are cheaper and less time con-

suming than home shows. We pick up some great leads at little cost—and lots of fun. Just be sure you are in front of a large, affluent crowd, or you will be wasting time and money.

Direct Mail (old-school, but effective)We still love direct mail. I think because we can control the message and delivery and we are big control freaks. We use a combination of EDDM and mail to our private mailing list of 30,000 customers.

We like to make our promotions look different from what others are doing. One of our best promotions is $100 off a $1,000 purchase. We feel this tells the customer that what we sell is not cheap and they should be prepared to spend at least $1,000.

We Love Designers (ok, maybe not all ’em) A great designer client is a beautiful thing. We discount our retail prices to designers and if they have the right clients, they can still take that price and make money.

Answer the Darn Phone Will Ya? I called three stores today (in another industry) and got three answering machines. Are you kidding me??!!! If you are in business, ya gotta answer the phone. I don’t care if your spouse, child or mother-in-law answers it. Hire an answering service. Just don’t let it go to voicemail during business hours.

For Cryin’ Out Loud…Ya Gotta Track Your Leads! All this work is for nothing if you don’t track your leads. I don’t care if you use ICM, Excitenet, SalesForce, Excel or a soiled piece of lined paper. Every lead must be tracked. Number of leads, did they close, what was the amount of the sale, what zip code did it come from? From this you can develop your average sale and close rate for all leads.

Marketing is not cheap and it’s your money paying for it, so you better know where it is going, or you can just fuggedaboutit. V

hances are, you’re uncon-sciously making common mistakes that are secretly sabotaging your efforts to

win great clients. What’s worse, you may be teaching an otherwise Ideal Client to behave like a bad client.

Giving Services AwayEvery designer does this—intentional or not. Invariably, you do more for your client than you actually bill them for. That’s ok to a point. But the problem is, you’re not getting any credit for it.

If you do something for someone that they don’t know about, how can they be thankful or feel like they’re getting something extra?

Solution: Tell them what you’re doing that you’re not charging them for! It will show your client that you’re going above and beyond what they hired you for, and make them feel like they’re getting special treatment.

Not Telling Them What You DoYour clients only value what they think you do (which bears little resemblance to what you really do), and what you tell them you do.

Solution: Tell them what you do be-hind closed doors, and the time, exper-tise and talent it requires to do it. Tell them what you do to help them create the space of their dreams and avoid costly mistakes. It will educate them them about what you do, so they’ll see

Stop sabotaging yourself

Break Your Bad Habits

the value in hiring an expert who can help them do a better job, more quickly and less expensively than if they did it themselves or with a less experienced designer.

Giving DiscountsWhile you may think that you’re being kind/flexible/nice/smart/etc by giving a discount, the truth is, it only sets an expectation for future discounts.

If you’re quick to discount your services, it tells your client, “I don’t value my services enough to stand by my pricing.” Is that the message you want to send?

Solution: Instead of giving a discount, build value with the client so they don’t ask for one. But if they do, here’s one of the best insider sales tips you’ll ever receive: Add something to your services, and only do it if your client gives you something in return—such as an expedited contract or a signed commitment to a larger project.

Sounding Like Every Other DesignerIf you don’t know what distinguishes you from other designers then you give your client no alternative but to choose a lower-priced designer. When all de-signers sound alike, clients will almost always choose the best price.

Solution: Know what makes you dif-ferent and stand out. Do your research. Talk with your past clients. I share an easy way to get the exact words to describe what makes you different in the link on this page.

Giving Pricing Before Building ValueIf you haven’t systematically built value with your client before giving them pricing, you’ll likely lose the cli-ent. Why? Because the more value you build, the more money they’ll pay.

Solution: Don’t give any pricing until you’ve had an opportunity to talk with your client, understand their chal-lenges, expectations, and what benefits they want to experience.

If you follow my suggestions, you’ll not only win more clients, but they’ll value you more, which means they’ll pay you more! V

hen I ran my interior design business, I realized very quickly that what held my

designers back from success was their unwillingness to step out of their comfort zone. I would get frus-trated watching them stay stuck, until finally, I ignored their resistance and pushed them into change.

One of my employees used to get irritable when I gave her a new chal-lenge, and rather than accept her grouchiness, I would reassure her that she didn’t have to be perfect, she just needed to step into her fear ... that she would succeed and she would feel great once she accom-plished the new challenge. She would occasionally give me a dirty look, but when she realized that I wasn’t going to back down, she would sigh and then tackle the project in spite of being angry at me. She came to the realization that she could do more, and when I heard her use the same tactics and advice with her assistant last year, I smiled.

What Matters is YouYour heart and soul goes into ev-ery project you design. Your work is evaluated, criticized, praised and even ignored. What other people say can be wonderful or deflating…then it is irrel-evant. What matters is what you think.

Stepping into your fear is a daily challenge especially when you own

Step into your fear

Why Designers Struggle to

your own business. It is up to you to bring in the clients, make the clients happy, do great design work, build a great team, manage the money and es-pecially, to ask for what you are worth.

As business owners, we are chal-lenged every single day and it is up to us to ignore the discomfort. The designers that struggle the most and that don’t reach their full potential are often stuck at the emotional hurdle…unwilling to step into their greatness. What is on the other side of that hurdle is confidence, joy and brilliant success.

Challenge YourselfI’ve learned to embrace the fear and accept that the only way I’ll ever change myself is to make an unemo-tional decision about what I want to do, decide on a plan of action, and then push the fear aside to act in spite of the wobbly knees or butter-flies in the belly.

I remember starting my design business, and facing the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I had to downsize and eventually move my office back home. I rebuilt the busi-ness, and earned more profit after the rebirth.

Even with my current business, De-sign Success University, it wasn’t al-ways easy. Erin Weir, the co-founder and I started our business in March 2008, and in October 2008, the reces-

sion hit and we almost didn’t survive the debacle. Today, through sheer determina-tion, hard work and facing our fears, we’ve grown our membership to over 10,000 designers in 62 countries. Most importantly, we’ve helped our clients double, triple and quadruple their businesses even as the reces-sion was in full swing.

How did they do it? I pushed them to act decisively and ignore their dis-comfort. They did the hard work, and every time they achieved a new level of belief in themselves.

Find a champion. If you’re afraid, get the support of someone that has accomplished what you want to accomplish. It could be a peer, a mastermind group, or a coach. You deserve success. V

ntegrating window coverings into the overall plan for building designs has become an impor-tant consideration for architects,

as aim for more hospitable, efficient environments. Window coverings are no longer an afterthought, but instead considered a building system just like HVAC and lighting systems.

This approach, called engineered shading solutions, considers well-thought out window treatments as more then just a quick fix. In order to successfully control solar heat gain, glare caused by daylighting or levels of light into a space, architects know engineered shading solutions are a key part of the “dynamic facade” approach. A sustainable system of interior and exterior window coverings which engage the latest technologies can suc-cessfully achieve results in providing for the health, safety and welfare for the a building’s occupants.

Sustainable DesignAccording to American Institue of Architechts (AIA), “sustainable design is a collaborative process that involves thinking ecologically—studying sys-tems, relationships and interactions in order to design in ways that remove rather than contribute stress from sys-tems”. For example, there are countless situations of where poorly designed window coverings actually add stress to systems, such as floor-length drap-eries that block heating units, trapping the warm air. However, when done correctly, engineered shading solutions

Intro to Shading Solutions

will successfully reduce stress from building systems. For a great example see this issue’s interview with architect Roger Bayley, who specified automated exterior solar shades to reduce the solar heat gain into the rooms of the Vancouver Olympic Village so the radi-ant cooling and heating system could function properly.

Additionally, there are examples of how engineered shading solutions can reduce stress as recommended by the U.S. Green Building Council. (USGBC) The following LEED strategies explain how window coverings can perform at equivalent levels as other sophisticated building systems.

DaylightingHarvesting of natural daylight into a space is a priority of today’s design. However, the most common failure of this strategy is the glare caused by excessive light levels. Therefore, glare control is required and the USGBC recommends shades to remedy this stress. Engineered shading solutions can provide the technology to reduce glare by as much as 95% with high performance fabrics.

Light Pollution ReductionFor projects to earn points for light pollution reduction, the USGBC requires that windows must have shades that are motorized and timed, thereby reducing the environmental stress caused by the nighttime spilling of light into the surrounding neigh-borhood.

Energy ReductionThe reduction of solar energy enter-ing a space and thereby reducing the amount of energy used for cooling is where engineered shading solutions perform the best. For example, exterior solar shades can reduce solar heat gain by as much as 85%.

Improving on the PastAlthough there is a strong emphasis on modern technology, engineered shading solutions are not actaully a new idea. Nearly 2,000 years ago dur-ing the height of the Roman Empire, the engineers of the Colosseum cre-ated a velarium, a retractable awning system that protected the spectators from the harsh rays of the Italian sun. While the actual means of how the awning was supported or adjusted are lost to us, the need and the concept of engineering shading solutions is clearly timeless. V

he Olympic Athletes’ Village, built in Vancouver, British Columbia for the the 2010 Winter Olympics. is Canada’s

first truly sustainable community. The Olympic Village project, developed by Millennium Properties, is an example of how a contaminated industrial city center site can be transformed.

The design manager for the project was Roger Bayley who worked with a team of five architectural firms to develop and implement the client’s vision. Today he leads his own firm based in Vancou-ver and dedicated to sustainable energy solutions. Neil Gordon spoke with him about the Olympic Village project and specifically to role shading systems played in the overall plan.

Neil Gordon: Why did you specify exterior shading solutions?

Roger Bayley: It came from the concept of heating and cooling the residential units with Germany tech-

nology using ceiling mounted radiant heating and cooling. This technology requires hot and cold water to flow through capillary tubes above the ceil-ing drywall. In our modeling, we real-ized that at certain high levels of solar heat gain into the space, condensation could result on the dry wall. The best way to reduce the solar heat gain and thereby eliminate the risk of condensation would be to install exterior solar shades. So the exterior solar shades became part of the energy equation.

NG: Can you explain the concept of the radiant heat-ing and cooling system?

RB: Radiant energy trans-fers heat from a mass with higher temperature to one with lower tempera-ture, in the same way we are warmed by the sun. When the radiant system is switched to cooling, it draws heat from objects—including bodies—that are warmer, producing a cool-ing effect.

NG: How did installing an exterior shading solutions contribute to achieving the LEED Gold designation?

RB: It was a part of the overall design that in-cluded the radiant ceilings, which enabled the project to earn points for Energy

Efficiency and Innovation in Design. The entire project received LEED Platinum certification, and the build-ings earned LEED Gold status.

NG: What performance capabilities did you require from the exterior shading solutions?

Roger Bayley


RB: To begin with, shades cannot be an afterthought. They must be planned for from the beginning of the de-sign stage. The key to an engineered shading solution is automation and

integration into the building systems. The shades need to be incor-porated into the energy efficiency of the build-ing. This requires good statistical data to prove the performance of the shading solutions. This is challenging to achieve at the outset of the design process.V

RB: The project was complex. We need-ed a solution that could perform under adverse weather conditions, provide the energy reduction required, enhance the building’s exterior design and stand up to the test of time. The shades are controlled automatically with the combination sun and wind sensors. The components that include the side cables can withstand severe wind gusts and the fabric provides the so-lar protection needed. The design elements such as the enclosure and wall brackets enhanced the building facade.

NG: How do you see the future of sustainable building incorporating engineered shading solutions?

here are probably thousands of designers who agree with Scott Salvator’s assessment of how technology has shaped his business. “[Technology has] enabled me to be a much bigger business

with a very small group of people. I deal with an incredible volume, not only in terms of product, but communication, accounts receivable and payable and more. And that would never be possible without computers, smartphones and the proper software.”

Understanding the IndustrySalvator, whose design business is based in New York City, lists Design Manager as one of the key pieces of technology he would not be able to operate without. One of the compa-nies that participated in the Design Tech Summit at this year’s IWCE, Design Manager has deep roots in the design industry.

The company was founded in 1984 in Doylestown, PA, under the name Frank-lin-Potter Associations as a sup-plier of custom accounting software for business. Bill Smith, an accounting controller ofr a local univer-isty and Rich Williams, an engineer and computer pro-grammer, soon realized that the interior de-sign industry featured spe-

cific issues and challenges that offered tremendous poten-tial for a custom solution.

Adapting to ChangeThe company released its first design-specific solution in 1986, but changes in computing pushed them to make a complete overhaul in irder to integrate their software with Windows®. By the spring of 1992 the company was on version 4.0, which included a full inventory system. This additional function made the company aware that it needed to provide two separate products—one for the small design busi-ness, and another for medium to large firms—now known as Design Manager Standard and Design Manager Professional.

By 2000 the company provided another major overhaul, making the program even more user-friendly and includ-

ing a remote data collection feature for the Professional platform. This allows clients to record deliveries on job sites or to warehouses by means of a remote scanner.

New functions and services continued to be added to both platforms, while streamlining ease of use. By 2007 both platforms were offered with Cloud availability, allowing customers to work from home, from the office, from job sites or while specifiying. In 2008 and 2009 the company initiated key collaborations with PayChex® and Merchant Warehouse® to integrate those services directly into Design Manager. By 2010 iPad™ and iPhone™ platforms were available, and DreamDraper® was added as another inte-grated partner.

The latest additons have been CloudSpace, a service pro-vided in conjuction with Skybox Innobations that offers all Microsoft Office applications and file sharing in the cloud. The other is ClientConnect, a product that allows designers to better share relevant project information with their clients.

Offering SupportAs for Salvator, he has never regretted his decision to work with Design Manager. “I could see it was formatted correctly for our business. It was detailed enough but not too much,” he said. “I always tell everybody, when they’re talking about formatting and websites, ‘Hire a porn web designer’ because in three seconds anybody can get to whatever they want! That’s how easy Design Manager was to use the very first time.”

Miriam Moore, head of Miriam Moore Design Studio LLC, Coconut Grove, FL, agrees that Design Manager is ex-traordinarily user friendly. And, she adds: “If we do have a question, the response time, either via email or phone is fantastic. We usually hear back within an hour. Responses to emailed questions are so thorough, given in steps with icons so rarely do we need a follow-up.”

ustom Blinds & Components, Inc., (CBC) based in Chino, CA, first opened its doors in 2010 as a distributor of components to the window treat-ment industry. But the management team, lead by

Paul Huang, vice-president of sales, quickly realized there were other opportunities for a business that could apply ever-more-effective CRM, ERP and advanced machinery to provide accurate information, competitive pricing and timely delivery. The company now services three clienteles: fabricators, wholesaler and sub-contractors, focused on delivering the information and services each group needs to provide for their own clients.

“Our main value proposition is service,” Huang said. “For fabricators, we provide precise infor-mation so they can make informed decisions. For wholesalers, we understand how important inventory is so we have maintain an excellent inventory as well as an in-house fabrication team, in the event that we are out of stock. For sub-contractors, we approach them with a lead time concept—we guarantee that our products are either delivered on time or ahead of time. We find that it is a positive cycle when we can constantly provide on-time service at a com-petitive price.”

The company currently offers a full line of horizontal and vertical blind components for fabricators. For wholesalers the core products include two-inch faux-wood blinds in three profiles, in sizes from 12” x 96” to 96” x 96” and vertical blinds in different sizes and colors for both residential and commercial installations. The business has grown rapidly, especially over the past two years, with more than 250 projects completed, including many multi-unit apartment jobs, both new construction and renovations. “Ocean View Apartments is a 1,200+ unit rehabilitation project in San Diego, CA,” Huang said. “The entire job took longer than two years, and never once did we miss a deadline to the installer.”

Huang goes on to add that working with sub-contractors is where he believes CBC has

A West Coast company grows through adaptation

Expertsdeveloped the most effective partnerships. “We ship and deliver 15,000 blinds a month to sub-contractors. Because we understand that every contractor has a different param-eter, we’ve established processes that allow us to meet just about every sub-contractor’s business model,” he explains. “More importantly, we are systematic and organized on the way we handle each of their orders. When a sub-contractor works with us, they don’t have to worry about when the product will be shipped because we will already have given that information to them when they ordered. And either we are on time or earlier. We have a 98% on-time track

record, and more than 15% of the time orders are ready prior to deadline—orders ranging from 15 blinds to 500+ blinds.. Our sub-contractors also don’t have to worry about price because once a project is quoted and the parameters remain the same, the price is fixed. Changes in freight or material costs do not effect a quoted project.”

He goes on to explain that the company has recently rolled out equally detailed systems for its fabricator and wholesale clients. For fabricators the company provides background on popular items, suggested inventory levels and other de-tails. When they place orders they get accurate information on our stock position along with estimates for any out-of-stock items.

For wholesalers, every quarter CBC provides an account-ing to each client of the different sizes and quantities they have purchased to assist with their inventory levels. And, if a ready-made product is out of stock, CBC will fabricate it in house at no added cost for the customer, so that there is no need for them to wait for an overseas shipment.

“Simply put,” Huang said, “we don’t have any ‘standard deliv-ery time’ because some customers want it next day while some can wait 10 days. We take the time to understand what each customer wants and deliver on the day when they want.”

More new tools and services for clients are also ready to launch soon. An app specifically tailored to sub-contractors will product information while on site including spec sheets, color examples and a direct contact form for any questions. A second app is for the wholesale and fabricator clientele, which will include the ability to review all current and past orders, track shipments, inventory spot checks, check account balances and request items ASAP for fill-in batch orders.

“CBC has learned, in a relatively short time, what each of a client groups needs to be successful,” Huang said, “and we’ve worked hard to deliver on those needs. We think like a fabricator who needs quality, but cost effective compo-nents to build products. We understand a wholesaler who needs good inventory to be able to turnover products, and we support sub-contractors who need a solid commitment to deliver products on time.” V

he Window Fashions Certified Professional (WFPC) education program was first launched by Grace McNamara in 1990, and like the industry it supports, it has grown and changed throughout

the years. During the past 20-plus years there has been a welcome expansion in terms of education for this highly specialized aspect of the design industry—from hands-on workshops where the intricate details of specific stitches are shared, to long-form online courses demonstrating the latest marketing technologies.

This May marked one other big change—the Board of Directors of the Window Covering Association of America (WCAA) voted to transfer the WCAA certification program (CWTC and CWTW) to the WFCP certification program effective July 1, 2014. Current WCAA members who are currently certified or whose certification has lapsed will have the opportunity to have their certification transfer or to recertify with WFCP and be able maintain their certifica-tion under the WFCP umbrella. Being a WFCP provides the knowledge, confidence and credentials critical in this complex and competitive design specialty.

To clarify what this means for the industry, for those who currrently hold WCAA certification and for the WFCP pro-gram, Vision magazine held a quick Q&A with WCAA Presi-dent and owner of The Scarlet Thread, Michele Williams; Vision publisher Grace McNamara, and WFCP directors Deb Barrett and Jill Ragan Scully.

Vision magazine: Why have WCAA and WFCP decided to merge their programs? What are the benefits of the merger to those who hold certification?

Michele Williams: For many years there have been two competing certification programs in the window coverings industry. While both programs allowed for recognition of ac-quired skills, there was a certain level of confusion in the in-dustry between the two programs. With this in mind, WCAA and WFCP opened communication regarding certifications and realized that the similarities and synergies were greater than the differences. By combining into one certification

WCAA merges its certification program with WFCP

Industry-Wide For All

program in the industry, together we will be better able to serve those wishing to acquire certification status, as well as market and promote one certification outside of our indus-try to homeowners and other professionals.

Grace McNamara: We are very excited to work with WCAA and welcome their certified members to the WFCP program. WCAA certified members will have ac-cess to the same benefits and privileges that our current members enjoy. The most important benefit of being “certified” is to distinguish our professionals as having reached a level of knowledge through intensive training and testing that signifies they are proficient at specify-ing, and in the case of Workroom Certification, fabricating custom window treatments.

Vision: How do you maintain WFCP status? Deb Barrett: Once you have earned WFCP status, you are required to re-certify every two years. It’s very simple to maintain certification, which requires a minumum of 12 educational credits through either online courses or attending any approved live educational events. There is also a certification fee of $75. We require ongoing learning to assure that Window Fashion Certified Professionals are active in the business and staying on top of current issues and trends. For those currently certified with WCAA they will begin their two-year WFCP status on July 1, 2014, and will need to re-certify by July 1, 2016. Vision: How are credits accumulated? GM: Credits may be earned by attending the annual Inter-national Window Coverings Expo (IWCE) held every year where dozens of excellent seminars and classes are offered. Typically, one can earn all of the credits needed for initial certification at this event, with the added bonus of being able to meet the instructors in person, as well as source the latest in new products for the industry. The next IWCE will be held January 20-22 in Las Vegas, NV.


DB: It’s also easy to learn by participating in the regularly scheduled live webinars, or for by selecting one of pre-re-corded webinars from the extensive WFCP library to listen to at their convenience. There are also other educational programs in the design industry that may be used for part of the required certification coursework. Jill Ragan Scully: WFCP also offers anprogram called “Fast Track Certification” available for Design and Workroom Certifications throughout the year. These are six-week courses that combine online and self-directed learning, study guides and the WFCP Specialist test, which needs to be completed with 30 days of completing the course. Vision: You mention the Specialist test. Are there different levels of WFCP Design and Workroom Certification? JRS: Once you’ve earned 30 WFCP credits, you can take the Specialist test. The next level is Expert, which requires 75 credits, passing the Expert test and demonstrating a committment to the success of the overall window fashion industry through educational or community service.

Vision: Will there be any new classes/instructors/programs offered through the merged programs? DB: Yes! We’ve already been working hard to bring infor-mative sessions on a wide variety of topics to our on-

demand webinar library. For example, we just wrapped up a “photography basics” webinar that was so succcessful we’re planning to expand into a hands-on workshop in Las Vegas. We’ve also added specifically focused courses such as a Color Certification program and the recently launched Blogging Basis course (see below).

We work closely with our board of directors, all of whom have more than earned their WFCP status over the years, to help select topics and instructors—as we need informa-tion for those both new to our industry and courses that are relevant to experienced professionals.

Stay tuned for more changes and join us on August 1, 2014, for a webinar to explain more details and show off all the new “bells and whistles.”

Vision: Can you give a hint as to what to expect?

GM: The WCAA transfer has given us an opportunity to give WFCP a face lift. In the coming month, we will be working hard behind the scenes to finalize the transfer and put the finishing touches on our new look. You’ll have to join the webinar on August 31! V

2015) blue will be a very important color. “From clear sky blue to darker water blues, the color will everywhere,” she said. Why

blue now? “People associate blue with purity and with technology. The world is finally leaving the crisis behind and starting

looking to the future,” she explaine. “If there’s one color that expresses trust in a better future, it’s undoubtedly blue.”

But according to Francq it’s not just about blue. In the palettes for coming seasons, blue will often be paried with a warm cop-

pery coral orange. “The combination is unexpected, fresh, and works very well for a broad array of products: from make-up

to interior design. It’s timeless and simple but special at the same time.” V

Every system is equipped with an exclusive manual override feature, Touch Wand Activation, so you can operate the draperies via remote control or by hand. Simply ‘tap’ the wand to open or close draperies using a patent-pending movement sensing technology. Imagine your window interiors in a whole new light. Experience the difference today.

What’s BEAUTIFUL BRIGHTS AND THE NEWEST NEUTRALS: That’s just part of what’s in store for the September/October issue of Vision. It’s our annual color issue and we’ll feature great new introductions in fabrics, wallcoverings, trims and more. Plus a look at color trends from Pantone, Sherwin-Williams, Box3 and other leading forecast-ers. Shown here: Sumatra, a print with a light outline embroidery, for the drapery panel, and Diadorim, an ethnic inspired geometic, for the Roman shade, both from Lorca’s Anopura collection.
