And we think Integra is the best in the business. One small mistake can cost you less sales per square foot. That alone will pay for the design fee.” George Thomsen, General Manager The Harvest Store, Riverside CA
	“We appreciate Integra GP for helping us enhance our stores by bringing the features (color, comfort, and creativity) to us. Our sales have increased and the amount of time customers spend in our stores has increased as well. Customers comment about how beautiful and well coordinated the store is. All the focal points that were brought into our store were easily recognized.” Mart Green, CEO Mardel Superstores Chain, Oklahoma City OK
	“The sales of our Reno store have exceeded our expectations. It has caused our anchor store to drop in sales, but has more than made up for the loss by the growth in sales in the Reno store. We are quite pleased with the layout and design of our store, as well as the new systems that were suggested to be placed in the store by Integra.” The art department is laid out in such a fashion with the wall covering being used that it adds a richer element in this area. Our store design and layout is more spacious than our other store, even though they are the same size. Our customers are always complimenting us on our store and its accessibility and functionality of the layout. Deidre Pagni, Manager His Word, Reno, NV
	“Integra provided an innovative and entertaining design that fit my budget. We came in on budget and I am pleased with the result.” Winston Maddox, President Gospel Supplies, Tucson AZ
	“The customers really seem to like the way the wallcovering looks. Store sales have increased due to the combination of wallcovering and picture relocation.” We’ve had a really good response to the kids area. Sales have increased tremendously and we have great inventory turn.” Marty Thomas, Manager Shepherd’s Fold, Rock Hill, SC
	"What you were able to do for our store is far more valuable than words can describe in this letter. Your creativity, care for detail and your candor were exactly what our location needed. I want to write this to you so that you can share this letter with others who are contemplating a redesign to their store. We have had a long-term relationship with Integra as they have helped with store needs and displays. When it was time to remodel, we came to Integra for help with signage, and Michelle showed us numerous ways we could bring a new look to our store. The best part is that it appears we spent four times what we actually invested in the project. In the value driven mindset of our economy today, Integra's customization proved to transform us efficiently within our strategic framework. If you are doing anything inside your store, you owe it to yourself to allow Integra a chance to show what their years of experience and their successful track record can do for you. You can call any one of our staff that worked with Integra through this project, and they will tell you how this relationship has saved us thousands of dollars. And we expect to sell exponentially more product in the future as a result." Ron Hunter, Jr. General Director & CEO, Randall House Publications, Nashville, TN
	“I wanted to write you a short note to say thanks. When we first started talking several months ago about expanding our store, I frankly did not know if we could afford you. As I look back, I now realize that we could not afford to have done the project without you. I greatly appreciate your willingness to bring your creativity to bear, even on the budgeting and cost aspects of this undertaking. I really felt that you were partnering with us and not just trying to sell us something to make a commission. The store looks great and our customers are overwhelmed and amazed at the changes. We have had nothing but positive comments. From my perspective, customer traffic flows much better with the layout of the store, and the sales seem to reflect that. We had a 37% sales increase in the month of June. We would love to see that trend continue, and I believe it will. The System 5000 fixturing has made an enormous difference. Customers can find products much more easliy, and we have so many more display options since the shelf heights can be adjusted. We plan to use more of these fixtures in the kids department in the future. Again, thanks for your input in the process from beginning to end, and for pushing us to consider new ideas. The black paint on the shelves was a stroke genius, and our store in Miami is repainting all their shelves as we speak. If there is anything I can do to assist you in the future, or to recommend your services to anyone, feel free to give me a call." David Almack, General Manager CLC Bookcenter, Philadelphia, PA
