New online map for SDC Retailers
We're pleased to announce our latest sales support tool for retailers who carry the Liquitex® Surface Design Center! At www.sdcfinder.com, quilters, crafters and artists can easily find the shop(s) in their area who carry this popular line of surface design products. We will send people to the SDC Shop Finder in all of our online outreach to consumers. The SDC Shop Finder link can also be found under Resources on the C&T website.
The SDC Shop Finder will be updated regularly to include every retailer who purchases the SDC. Retailers can also find a list here of all our SDC Ambassadors - these are quilters and artists, several of whom are C&T authors, who use Liquitex products regularly in their work. This pool of creative talent can be a valuable resource for shops to find potential teachers for their surface design classes. |
