LuAnn Nigara and Vita Vygovska’s Ah-Ha Moments

“Focus on what you’re doing for that designer..if someone is going to walk up to you and say, ‘I know you have 50 balls in the air, I’m going to take one of them. And side by side with your direction, I’m going to keep that ball in the air. You never have to look over at that ball again. You know, you look at me, my eyeballs, I got it,’ what designer is going to say no.” – LuAnn Nigara

“If you’re going after interior designers—go and hang out where they hang out.” – Vita Vygovska

“All these marketing tactics, they are nothing more than creating, fostering, nurturing a strong relationship over time.” – Vita Vygovska

“In all of this, in everything we do, in marketing especially, you have to be authentic to yourself.” – Vita Vygovska

“We don’t need to teach [interior designers] about window treatments in order to create a relationship that’s meaningful. And in fact, usually that’s not how you do it.” – LuAnn Nigara
