As both a direct importer and a distributor, Savoir-Faire is committed to forging lasting partnerships with the companies we serve. Because we enjoy exclusive relationships with our manufacturers, we can actively market their products in the United States specifically for the American market. We develop and implement aggressive marketing programs, retail promotions, art competitions and national advertising campaigns for the companies we represent. Our work on their behalf also includes producing color charts and technical brochures, holding product information seminars and creating personalized promotions for every size of retail operation.
Committed involvement
