Shaw Floors Introduces Caress by Shaw Spring Promotion
Dalton, Ga. - February 25, 2013- Shaw Floors—the largest manufacturer of carpet and a leading flooring provider—has introduced its Caress by Shaw Floors spring promotion featuring the manufacturer's newest, industry-leading soft carpet rollout.

The Caress by Shaw Floors spring sale, April 11—June 3, offers consumers an up-to-$500-off coupon to inspire purchases to outfit the entire home. The offer is good on Shaw's newest stylish Caress products, as well as a full array of qualifying carpet, area rugs, hardwood, laminate, tile & stone and resilient products. Depending on how much the consumer purchases, Shaw's dealers will be able to offer a $100, $300 or $500 coupon.

"Our Caress by Shaw collection is unlike anything else available on the market today," said Trey Thames, vice president of marketing for Shaw Floors. "We are leading with this unique collection while also offering sales on all of our premier products. From our American Restoration Epic hardwood to stunning new resilient floors, consumers will have everything they need to help renovate their entire homes this spring."

Shaw Floors will harness a creative national TV, print and social media campaign to further publicize this impressive spring sale and share the incredible softness and style the Caress by Shaw Floors collection offers. The impactful advertising campaign will be viewed by millions of consumers, and Shaw's local dealers will have exclusive access to the campaign for use in their local market.

Backed by aggressive financing packages and local advertising materials—including web banners, print ads, TV ads and more—the Caress by Shaw Floors promotion will additionally equip each dealer with a tailored marketing plan, direct mail campaign options and materials needed to drive store traffic.
